❝ That's why we carefully designed consent-respecting Quote Posts.❞

that’s not how free speech works. as i have pointed, since when do you have to ask permission to add a citation in your writing?

the #uiux of Quote Posts need work. blank spaces waiting for approval are awful.

you also break the web by removing the link to the original post. it may be in the metadata but by removing it from the body, you break the web.

all we want is for you to repect the #oEmbed API with your own links.

Protože jsem upgradoval #Friendica na dev verzi, dostal jsem upgradovanej #OEmbed, kterej bych rád otestoval. Rozhodl jsem se zkusit to přes #Tidal

Můžete někdo vyzkoušet, jak se tváří u vás a okomentovat to, ať to můžu zkouknout i ze strany Mastodonu? 😀

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!?!?

this isn’t good UI/UX @MastodonEngineering

more importantly, it fundamentally breaks one of the basics of #rhetorics and #writing : the ability to quote someone freely.

people either have public, embedabble posts or they don’t.

stop breaking the web. stop breaking #oembed.

Link preview oembed is good with wide images. I feel both narrow and wide should show wide after crop.

From the archive! Drupal 9: Content Sharing Between Drupal Sites Using oEmbed

In this article we cover what oEmbed is and how to set up a custom oEmbed endpoint. We then set up and configure a Drupal site to consume that custom oEmbed endpoint.

A technique that still works in the same way in Drupal 11!

Any suggestions for a Vimeo alternative for uploading screen recordings for sharing (e.g. supports oembed) with some visibility controls e.g. "only people with the link"?

Everytime a SaaS makes you embed a code snippet Wapuu cries

I’ve lost count the number of times I’ve seen paying customers be offered no other choice but a javascript snippet to embed on their site, like it’s 1999 and we’re still crafting HTML files by hand.

The OEmbed specification has been around since 2008, and is a wonderfully simple idea:

A user should only ever care about their content’s URL, how to embed the content into your content management system or platform should be abstracted away from the user.

You’ve seen this before, pasting a YouTube link, automagically embeds a YouTube player onto the page.

The mechanism to this is simple, basically your YouTube page contains a tag that helps discover how to represent the content, embedding an iFrame, etc.

Obviously not everyone is using wordpress, only like 40% of the web, but seriously, even in react-land there are libraries for this.

Maybe the reason is something like the cake mix story, where customers were unsatisfied feeling the recipe was too easy, so the cake mix recipe was altered to require manually adding an egg. This proved to be enough to make customers feel they’d actually participated in making the cake.

What do you think? Does adding a snippet improve your authoring experience? Or would you prefer to just paste a link and get on with it?
