My first new blog post since 2021. 😅
"Welcome back!" by Michael Gale
WordPress is celebrating its 20th anniversary today!

I moved my personal site to it 5 years ago. From my blog post:
"I am also interested in exploring other open web technologies, like ActivityPub and OStatus. I’m not 100% convinced that Mastodon will take over Twitter, but there is a lot of promise in the ideas and technologies behind it."

There sure is!

Recapping micro.camp and remapping social protocols. It’s your < 10min update on the #IndieWeb community!

Seems unlikely that we’ll end up with a single unified social web platform. I like Mastodon’s focus on communities. I like Bluesky’s thinking on distributed moderation. I like the IndieWeb’s principles of ownership. I like Nostr’s private messaging. How will we tie all of this together? Blogs.
I just reached two hundred original posts (excluding boosts and replies) on #Fediverse! Took me six months. I have them all archived on my website https://abnv.me/mb, something which I couldn't do when I was on Twitter. #indieweb
I love fiddling around with my website
@ubergeek I've been going back and forth between the idea of a second Fediverse account on something like #WriteFreely, firing up my own instance of something (maybe #WordPress, it has decent #ActivityPub integrations), or just firing up an #IndieWeb website with blog and microblog capabilities and using https://fed.brid.gy. I did look at implementing AP myself, but it's fiddly and I don't have the time.
@vortex_egg I was gonna use #IndieWeb (https://indieweb.org/Category:PostType) and BibTeX types.
I also have had this damn tab open for ages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Decimal_Classification for creating the directory structure on my storage drives.
For my blog's About page, I created a list of A Few of My Favorite Things. I had fun thinking about which personal and professional things I've enjoyed the most, from software to puzzlehunts to backpacking. https://jan.miksovsky.com/about #indieweb
Been thinking a lot about Nostr this week. Finally realized that it resonates in a “worse is better” way. This is a good thing and will help me grok how it fits alongside ActivityPub and Bluesky.
Are there any #indieweb ready Hugo themes? I looked a few years ago, but given the nature of the roll-your-own community there was not much.
Question for #indieweb folks: I remember a discussion about a syndication model that describes one of the ways I handle social media and my own site. It's sort of a selective/curated #pesos.
I don't import *all* my posts, just the ones I feel worth preserving, and those often as first drafts. I'll expand, rework, or otherwise finalize the posts on my website.
I could swear I saw someone come up with a term for this model, but I can't remember what it was!
