My 2019-01-01 Commitment

A New Mailing List, Goodbye Instagram?, Future Book Hello Again — Roden Explorers Archive

Craig’s slow walk away from Instagram:

I want to have a place very far apart from that, where I can post photos on my own terms. Not have an algorithm decide which of my posts is best (have you noticed Instagram making the second photo in series appear first in the carousel?). And I don’t want to be rewarded for being anodyne, which is what these general algorithms seem to optimize for: things that are easily digestible, firmly on the scale of “fine, just fine.” It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, as the more boring stuff we shove into our eyeballs, the more boring our taste becomes.

@abritinthebay there are a couple of open source Javascript #microformats2 parsers:
http://microformats.org/wiki/microformats2#Javascript

Try them out and definitely file any issues you find, and/or join us in discussion: http://microformats.org/wiki/discuss
#microformats2 parsing spec updated: http://microformats.org/wiki/index.php?title=microformats2-parsing&diff=66956&oldid=66955
* u- parsing should always do relative URL resolution per https://github.com/microformats/microformats2-parsing/issues/10
Implemented in current versions of parsers:
* phpmf2
* mf2py
* microformats go
Resolution: proposal accepted.

No objections in above discussion, and positive opinions (👍) from several implementors on the proposal.

Proposal implementations in mf2py and microformats go parsers is sufficient to demonstrate implementability and interoperability (with updated tests cases), all as noted/linked in issue thread.

Editing specification accordingly.

Last year I completed 100 Days of Positive Posts #100DoPP.^1
This year I started 100 Days of Positive Doing Posting Days #100PDPD and stopped after 8 days.^2
Missing from both of those was why. Why post positive things?
Why may be insufficient to motivate, which implies a drive to action.
More motivating: why post positive things promptly?

^2 https://indieweb.org/100DaysOfIndieWeb#100_Days_of_Positive_Doing_Posting_Days
I’ve posted a lot less, recently, and this past year.
As I’ve used social media less, many motivations for posting faded, replaced with questioning motivations for posting and interacting with posts publicly.
From a broader #indieweb community, technology, and social perspective, I think we must ask what incentives are we creating, amplifying, and propagating by everything we invent and promote? What incentives should / can we design for?
Done for the day. Time to sit on the couch and watch YouTube videos with @indiewebcat

We Should Replace Facebook With Personal Websites - Motherboard

Facebook isn’t really all that much better or more convenient than having your own website, or sending emails or chats. But for some reason, Facebook (and Instagram) are where we post now.

Finally there is a blocklist interface! Now I can send webmentions from myself and not block my domain.

Do you plan on building a premoderation queue tied to Vouch support?

Oh Hello Ana - Blogging and me

A personal history of personal publishing from Ana—it’s wonderful!

When I was feeling low and alone I would recall how happy I used to be before I was working in tech. I would remember my silly fan sites, my experiments, my blogs and everything that I loved so much that made me become a developer.
