Summary: Facebook has recently announced it will be shutting off its API access on August 1st for automating posts into its ecosystem. For a large number of users this means it will be much more difficult to crosspost or syndicate their content into the platform. As a result, this week David Shanske and I discuss the good and the bad of this move as well as some general thoughts around the ideas of syndicating content from one site to another.
David also discusses plans he’s got for changes to both the Bridgy Publish Plugin and the Syndication Links Plugin.

@cathieleblanc I can’t find it now, but it seems like you made a comment the other day that led be to believe that this post/pencast might help you out a bit: http://boffosocko.com/2018/05/01/a-pencast-overview-with-audio-and-recorded-visual-diagrams-of-indieweb-technologies/

Another great listen David and Chris. I have taken to using Post Editor Buttons Fork plugin to add custom code, such as embedding audio and syndicating to #IndieNews. I am happy with any other solution, especially as I imagine Gutenberg may break my buttons?
I am really interested in your work in combining Bridgy Publish and Syndicated Links. I currently use SNAP for Twitter, Flickr and Diigo, Mastodon Autoposter and Jetpack for G+. (I could never get Bridgy Publish to work, but after Chris’ recent walkthrough, I think that I need to have a second look.) I find it really tedious to remember which ones to turn on and off for each post. I really like the idea of one space to control them all if that is what you are proposing.

Mixed feelings about the topic. This and the upcomming gdpr lets me question myself again if I should syndicate and backfeed in the future in general.
BTW: The way you pronounce @pfefferle‘s name in english sounds awesome 🙂
David Shanske und Chris Aldrich hosten seit ein paar Monaten einen ganz charmanten IndieWeb Podcast. David hat bei so ziemlich jedem IndieWeb-WordPress-Plugin mit gearbeitet und übernimmt die Rolle des „Erklärers“ und Chris ist Poweruser und versucht den Podcast zu moderieren und die Komplexität etwas heraus zu nehmen.
