If you're a blogger who I've met in person, and you're not using AI or LLMs for your content, let me know and I'll add you to my list.
@Edent I've done it too a few days ago!
You are in mine. We did not met in person but I'm almost sure you're human 😉
Seems like the extension does not find your .json file though.

@Edent Great, AI then know what's fresh and human made. No slop involved.

@Edent Good idea!
@stefano@bsd.cafe
Shouldn't human content be the default? Why should we concede such default?

@Edent Ah, I see FOAF has returned once again.
-
@Edent me! I'll add yours to mine too.
Though I'm not seeing it show up on your blog yet? Waiting for a rebuild/cache invalidation?
@emily_s should be live now - let me know the URl you're trying if you're having issues.

@Edent
Definitely no AI/LLM. Sometimes seen as human. -

@Edent The design is human.
Meme aside, yeah, I find it weird the use of JSON (which many people say is more machine-friendly than human-friendly) for that. Reminds me of https://humanstxt.org/, that uses .txt which seems more human-friendly.
Also, the "web" thing reminds me a bit of Keybase/Keyoxide. I hope it's not a case of missing research of existent work. Reminds me of this https://fliptomato.wordpress.com/2007/03/19/medical-researcher-discovers-integration-gets-75-citations/. I wonder if this could be proposed as an extension of one the earlier projects…

@qgustavor feel free to suggest that in the site's repo.

@Edent that's a great idea, I'm experimenting with ml, can I join too?
PS: everything I write is mine and mine only. I do use spellcheck though :)

@Edent Oooh! Looking forward to reading this more carefully! … Since it’s json, would it be feasible to add a property for including a public key? Perhaps this can further be reinforced through a cryptographic web of trust? 🤔

@rinkside you can suggest it - but cryptographic webs are a usability nightmare. Every single one has failed.
Maybe the next one won't. But I don't have high hopes.

@Edent Will have to read more about that issue — definitely not an area of expertise. Thank you!
These days I’m digging through old … ideas? … that may have been pushed aside in the rush to corporatize and centralize as we try building an alternate, more human network. 😊

@rinkside yeah, things like Keybase tried something similar - but they got acquihired by Zoom during the pandemic.
I think, pragmatically, If I've stuck something on the website I control, that should be "good enough".

@Edent you should be vouched for now from https://parsecsreach.org
