Anchor seems to be going for the YouTube model. They want a huge number of people to use their platform. But the concentration of so much media in one place is one of the problems with today’s web. Massive social networks like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube have too much power over writers, photographers, and video creators. We do not want that for podcasts.
“It’s almost too easy now, and too unsatisfying that you only can put your work in a community full of advertisements and full of tracking,” she said. “I think there will be this urge, on the one hand, to have a local internet of small communities, and, on the other hand, a decentralized internet again.”
“You can still make websites nowadays,” Heemskerk said. “People think it’s complex, but it isn’t —you just register your domain and make your website and that’s about it.”
I have some swift Micropub stuff I’ve done that hasn’t been packaged up into a nice library but is available to take whatever is helpful. https://github.com/EdwardHinkle/indigenous-ios/tree/develop/Micropub
Adding mf2 to themes would allow easy integration with Webmentions and greater IndieWeb
WPRig has a lot of cross over with a project I’ve been working on and if could get mf2 in wprig, I would mothball my project. I’m offering to work on a PR, but wanted to gauge interest before embarking on it.
Since IndiePaper sends a Micropub request to another server you would remove the post through whatever means the server supports.
If it’s a Microsub Server like Aperture, you can delete posts using a Microsub client.
If it’s a Micropub Server you would use whatever methods the Micropub server supports to delete the post.
While I understand your focus here, I think step one for figuring out endorsements is to focus on the “simple” flow, how one site requests a badge from another and how the other site replies. Once a simple two site flow is determined, then it can be tweaked to support a third-party credentials system. I see it as you would likely create the initial request post, but then you would syndicate that to the third party ledger. (We already know how syndication works, so that wouldn’t have to be figured out).
It’s for everybody. :] But yes, webmentions were developed in the indieweb community and a lot of our personal sites support it so we can interact between our sites.
I’m biased, but the indieweb chat is a good place to keep up with things people are doing on their personal sites and get inspired! https://indieweb.org/discuss
