I'm going!IndieWeb-friendly personal sites can work together to provide all kinds of social features to the web. Likes, replies, bookmarks, GIF responses, reaction videos, and way more!
But should our sites do this? Recreating the dopamine-hit, engagement-maximizing, abuse-inviting patterns of the social silos is likely not the answer.
How can we make the web social while protecting one another?

Our footpaths converged around the same 5-10 platforms, each with its own particular manner of communication. I have learned, unintentionally, to code switch every time I craft a new post. It’s exhausting, trying to keep track of all those unspoken rules shaped by years of use.
But I don’t have rules like that on my blog. I turned off stats. There are no comments. No likes.

Yesterday my repaired (and nicely cleaned up!) 7 year old Macbook Pro came back, and this morning the new Air intended as its replacement arrived as well. First I now will have to ‘move out’ of E’s Air I had on loan from her since Christmas, back to my old laptop, and then move from there to the new one. And of course then think of something useful to do with my old laptop, now it has regained a new life.

“In the case of Capsule, each content creator has their own website — has their own address, like Capsule.Greenwald.com — and then people go there and their first discovery of the mesh is through people that they’re interested in hearing from.”
techcrunch.com/2021/01/18/cryptocat-author-gets-insanely-fast-backing-to-build-p2p-tech-for-social-media
I had to think about this for a bit, but I think I like this idea as an extension of the current IndieWeb ecosystem. Most people don't want to pay for a domain name or hosting, so I wonder whether Capsule can find a way to enable both groups to interact successfully.
The question for me is, will non-paying servers be able to operate as first class citizens in the federation, with a trusted identity? Will be interesting to watch development.

"html": "<p>This tweet has been making the rounds in IndieWeb spaces, and reflects a thing I\u2019ve been thinking about on and off lately for obvious reasons:</p><blockquote><p>I was building a decentralized, WebMention-based social network (way before Mastodon/ActivityPub), and if anyone had cared back then, it would be a nazi darling today and that just sucks. <a href=\"https://t.co/jXaZTsUNz8\">https://t.co/jXaZTsUNz8</a></p>\u2014 Hendrik Mans (@hmans) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/hmans/status/1349105824992538624?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 12, 2021</a></blockquote> <p>I\u2019ve seen several other related sentiments lately; with a certain prominent politician being deplatformed from all of the mainstream social media platforms, and all of the platforms that accept him being in turn shut down or otherwise made ineffective, people have been (quite reasonably!) wondering what happens if he ends up starting up his own IndieWeb site, and causes a resurgence in self-hosted or otherwise privately-run, single-author blogs.</p>\n\n\n<p>I feel like the threat model for IndieWeb is very different than the threat model of so-called \u201csilo\u201d social media. Silos are built around increasing engagement and spreading popular posts far and wide, and ensuring that people stay addicted to the site. As such, they\u2019re also biased towards fast-spreading, viral content, and quick, hot takes that give people an adrenaline and/or dopamine rush.</p><p>One way in which self-hosted platforms are different is that it\u2019s up to people to seek out and spread the information they want to. At least with current platforms it\u2019s pretty unwieldy to do a quick repost and propagation of content, and there\u2019s also no central source of post propagation. You posting something to the IndieWeb doesn\u2019t mean that it\u2019ll automatically propagate to anyone who isn\u2019t already subscribed to you, and audiences tend to remain a lot smaller and more deliberate.</p><p>Mastodon still has the concept of a federated timeline, where anything that gets posted will spread far and wide based on connections between instances. This is, in effect, very similar to the algorithmic discovery stuff that makes Twitter work the way it does too.</p><p>There\u2019s also the whole fire-and-forget quick-post hot-take nature of conversations which just plain doesn\u2019t happen in IndieWeb spaces, at least not right now. Some future stack might make Twitter-like updates more convenient. I know that I personally wouldn\u2019t subscribe to sources of those, though, and there\u2019s still a much greater onus on the reader to be able to subscribe to and process those feeds.</p><p>A future IndieWeb platform could very well make the same mistakes, though, and lead to automatic discovery and propagation of stuff. Centralized readers in particular would be a pretty obvious source of this sort of thing.</p><p>But the great thing about IndieWeb, at least, is that people are still in control of their experience. There isn\u2019t one specific publishing or reading model that people are stuck with, and this is by design. There will certainly be <em>pockets</em> of IndieWeb stuff that becomes just as objectionable as the worst parts of Twitter/Mastodon or the entirety of Parler/Gab, but people can still participate in IndieWeb without having to be a part of it.</p><p>I also feel that having personal responsibility for the content you host also makes you much more accountable for that content. If someone were to start posting illegal stuff to their website, their hosting provider would be well within their rights to shut it down. They could then move to a hosting provider that\u2019s more amenable to that or not under the same jurisdiction, but fundamentally, if nobody is subscribing to their site content, it\u2019s still not going to spread.</p><p>For that matter, nothing stops any currently-deplatformed troll from running their own website. There are <em>plenty</em> of ways that people can launch a quick-and-easy WordPress blog, for example. But just because someone is posting it to the web doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re going to have an audience. Nothing automatically makes their toxic material spread through the universe.</p><p>I think IndieWeb developers do need to be careful about the tools they develop. If you\u2019re working on IndieWeb stuff, make sure you\u2019re solving the problems that need to be solved, and not reinventing the same problems as the silos the long way around. And if you\u2019re building a shared-hosting platform or a centralized reader, you\u2019d better damned well be putting safety and accountability as the top priority for everything you provide.</p><p>So, yeah. I can imagine some facet of IndieWeb going in a very dangerous direction that would be much more difficult to stop than on a centralized server.

"text": "This tweet has been making the rounds in IndieWeb spaces, and reflects a thing I\u2019ve been thinking about on and off lately for obvious reasons:I was building a decentralized, WebMention-based social network (way before Mastodon/ActivityPub), and if anyone had cared back then, it would be a nazi darling today and that just sucks. https://t.co/jXaZTsUNz8\u2014 Hendrik Mans (@hmans) January 12, 2021 I\u2019ve seen several other related sentiments lately; with a certain prominent politician being deplatformed from all of the mainstream social media platforms, and all of the platforms that accept him being in turn shut down or otherwise made ineffective, people have been (quite reasonably!) wondering what happens if he ends up starting up his own IndieWeb site, and causes a resurgence in self-hosted or otherwise privately-run, single-author blogs.\n\n\nI feel like the threat model for IndieWeb is very different than the threat model of so-called \u201csilo\u201d social media. Silos are built around increasing engagement and spreading popular posts far and wide, and ensuring that people stay addicted to the site. As such, they\u2019re also biased towards fast-spreading, viral content, and quick, hot takes that give people an adrenaline and/or dopamine rush.One way in which self-hosted platforms are different is that it\u2019s up to people to seek out and spread the information they want to. At least with current platforms it\u2019s pretty unwieldy to do a quick repost and propagation of content, and there\u2019s also no central source of post propagation. You posting something to the IndieWeb doesn\u2019t mean that it\u2019ll automatically propagate to anyone who isn\u2019t already subscribed to you, and audiences tend to remain a lot smaller and more deliberate.Mastodon still has the concept of a federated timeline, where anything that gets posted will spread far and wide based on connections between instances. This is, in effect, very similar to the algorithmic discovery stuff that makes Twitter work the way it does too.There\u2019s also the whole fire-and-forget quick-post hot-take nature of conversations which just plain doesn\u2019t happen in IndieWeb spaces, at least not right now. Some future stack might make Twitter-like updates more convenient. I know that I personally wouldn\u2019t subscribe to sources of those, though, and there\u2019s still a much greater onus on the reader to be able to subscribe to and process those feeds.A future IndieWeb platform could very well make the same mistakes, though, and lead to automatic discovery and propagation of stuff. Centralized readers in particular would be a pretty obvious source of this sort of thing.But the great thing about IndieWeb, at least, is that people are still in control of their experience. There isn\u2019t one specific publishing or reading model that people are stuck with, and this is by design. There will certainly be pockets of IndieWeb stuff that becomes just as objectionable as the worst parts of Twitter/Mastodon or the entirety of Parler/Gab, but people can still participate in IndieWeb without having to be a part of it.I also feel that having personal responsibility for the content you host also makes you much more accountable for that content. If someone were to start posting illegal stuff to their website, their hosting provider would be well within their rights to shut it down. They could then move to a hosting provider that\u2019s more amenable to that or not under the same jurisdiction, but fundamentally, if nobody is subscribing to their site content, it\u2019s still not going to spread.For that matter, nothing stops any currently-deplatformed troll from running their own website. There are plenty of ways that people can launch a quick-and-easy WordPress blog, for example. But just because someone is posting it to the web doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re going to have an audience. Nothing automatically makes their toxic material spread through the universe.I think IndieWeb developers do need to be careful about the tools they develop. If you\u2019re working on IndieWeb stuff, make sure you\u2019re solving the problems that need to be solved, and not reinventing the same problems as the silos the long way around. And if you\u2019re building a shared-hosting platform or a centralized reader, you\u2019d better damned well be putting safety and accountability as the top priority for everything you provide.So, yeah. I can imagine some facet of IndieWeb going in a very dangerous direction that would be much more difficult to stop than on a centralized server. But IndieWeb is an ethos and a set of opt-in protocols, and participating in IndieWeb in general doesn\u2019t mean having to participate in all of it. I feel like that\u2019s already a huge advantage.\n\ncomments"

Tonight I've been investigating a few things for my #Postman API Hack and I've found that Postman's OAuth2 support is pretty awesome - it works very nicely with #Indieauth which is an important part of my hack 😉 I'm also pretty happy with what I'm planning on doing - hoping to get some good progress with the hack itself this weekend, too!

This was already agreed quite some time ago, but not yet arranged. Everything was registered on the 31st. \nOn the 30th I posted my annual posting looking back on the past year. I\u2019ve been doing it for the 11th time and it is still a good tradition, as a reminder to self about the things I thought fulfilling.\nOther than that, I read the \u2018Suikerbastaard\u2019, a book that E gave me last September when we were hiking in the south of the Netherlands for a weekend, and I did some groceries shopping. For New Year\u2019s Eve we drove to E\u2019s parents in the north. We had quarantined since before Christmas to make that visit possible. We made \u2018oliebollen\u2019 and \u2018kniepertjes\u2019 together, and Y had a great time with her grand parents which she hadn\u2019t seen for four months.\nWe\u2019re back home now. Today we had a chat over coffee with M and J and their son H in M\u00fcnster, Germany. Catching up with what happened the past year. \nMy laptop\u2019s batteries finally gave up completely this week. I\u2019ve been using a newly acquired Lenovo tablet in the past days, waiting for my new laptop to arrive which may take 3 or 4 weeks still. Coming week I will bring in my old laptop to have the batteries replaced if possible. Other than the batteries the laptop is fine, so no reason to completely ditch it yet. E has lent me her Air for the coming days, as only working on a tablet isn\u2019t really possible. The coming week isn\u2019t very busy in terms of appointments, so I should have enough time to figure out a temporary workflow.\nHappy new year!\n\nThis is a RSS only posting for regular readers. Not secret, just unlisted. Comments / webmention / pingback all ok.\nRead more about RSS Club"
