good article @7im I think the follow-up question is why does a US Senator profit from the third largest referrer to Russian State Media links in the world? rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

I don't have a bluecheck mark but you can verify my ID as I use my url as my identity. There I have a parseable h-card which links to other verified IDs and my ORCIDID Shape your own truth to understand how truth gets shaped. #indieweb

Ugh, the State Department's tipline, too. Which offers rewards for tips about terror groups targeting the USA. The stakes are not a joke.
OMG this is awesome

In https://www.theverge.com/2023/4/20/23689570/activitypub-protocol-standard-social-network, author @pierce@mas.to does an excellent job covering a broad range of #ActivityPub related updates, and goes beyond the usual #Mastodon focus to describe numerous implementations.

I was very happy to see that he also clearly communicated several #IndieWeb principles¹, practices, goals, and reasons why². Like this quote:

 “But the advice you’ll hear from most people in this space is this: own your own domain. Don’t be john@/mastodon.social or anna@/facebook.com. Have a space that is yours, that belongs to you, a username and identity that can’t disappear just because a company goes out of business or sells to a megalomaniac.”

and this:

 “It’s [your own domain is] your YouTube channel name and your TikTok username and your Instagram handle and your phone number and your Twitter @, all in one name.”

Great interviews with @stevetex@mozilla.social, @mike@flipboard.social, @dustycloud.org (@cwebber@octodon.social), @evanp.me (@evan@cosocial.ca), @anildash.com (@anildash@me.dm), @coachtony@me.dm, and @manton.org.

As Manton said in the article:

 “If you solve identity with domain names, it makes things easier because it fits the way the web has been for 20 years,”

Pierce also noted:

 “you might soon be able to turn your personal website into your entire social identity online”
 
Already can.

I replied to Pierce’s post³ about his article noting this, from #federating directly from my website for the past ~6 months, to over a decade of using it as my social identity with the POSSE method with various #socialMedia silos.

It’s important enough that I’ll repeat part of Pierce’s quote at the top:

 “own your own domain. Don’t be john@/mastodon.social or anna@/facebook.com. Have a space that is yours”
 
He gets it. Don’t be someone at someone else’s server.

Big Chad or Little Chad’s garages are social media stepping stones towards owning your own domain and IndieWeb presence.

We’re here when you’re ready to take that next step: https://chat.indieweb.org/

OMG, they took my blue checkmark straight off my screen! 😱😱😱 #BlueCheck #hacked
Now that legacy verified checkmarks are gone, this is a great time to make sure you have a link to your website in your Twitter bio and that your website links back to your Twitter account! aaronparecki.com/elsewhere/

Hear me out… this is perhaps the funniest thing they’ve done in a while. Russians published a “secret radio communications of NATO troops in Ukraine”.
10 years ago today the first #federated #IndieWeb comment thread was published and collected peer-to-peer IndieWeb replies across websites without any intermediary, silo or otherwise¹.

2013-04-19 @eschnou.com posted a brief note on his personal site with #atMentions of a few domains (putting an '@' sign immediately before a domain name to indicate an explicit cross-web @-mention), which itself was also a first²

 "Testing #indieweb federation with @waterpigs.co.uk, @aaronparecki.com and @indiewebcamp.com !"

When @aaronpk.com was notified and replied from his site within minutes³, it became the first peer-to-peer federated IndieWeb comment thread, at the time using h-entry and Pingback. I blogged about it a few days later.

Earlier this year I blogged more observations of all the user interactions that happened on that day and shortly thereafter to make this all work: https://tantek.com/2023/014/t4/domain-first-federated-atmention

Unfortunately Laurent Eschnou’s original post is no longer up, and we only have the Internet Archive copy. However most of the IndieWeb reply posts are still up including Barnaby’s: https://waterpigs.co.uk/notes/1334/

The oldest still working federated post and comment thread was second overall, unsurprisingly from @aaronparecki.com, a whole 40 days after Laurent’s first.

@fredrocha.net (@john_fisherman@mastodon.social) saw your post (https://mastodon.social/@john_fisherman/110224246899618915) from the #IndieWeb stream. Beautiful photos on your site! #btconf was great wasn’t it?

My personal URL is https://tantek.com/ and my #fediverse @ is @tantek.com. My Atom feed file is auto-discoverable by feed readers from my home page.

Feeding (so to speak) two discovery birds with one stonefruit¹.

Your personal website can be your fediverse address², each providing seamless discovery for the other.

As web developers we should be building & developing our personal sites to exemplify the latest & greatest of such practices, including using Mastodon/ActivityPub as yet another distribution mechanism (ala POSSE) for your existing personal websites rather than a separate profile/stream.

Discussed this with @nebu@mastodon.social and @kadirtopal@mastodon.social just after the last talk @beyondtellerrand.com (@btconf@mastodon.social @btconf) yesterday, fitting conference closing thoughts complementing the heartfelt opening talk by @localghost.dev (https://sophie.omg.lol/ @sophie@social.lol)³.

Hey #NAFO see a #Fella follow a Fella. Meet Walter and give him a follow.
I'm really humbled, guys. I wasn't in this for followers, just to make my voice heard and to share. This is so great, though.
