In the #indieweb spirit, I wrote up some of the (extremely hacky) scripts I've used to port my personal site's content from (Stacey+WordPress) -> Padrino -> Astro, with a bonus helping of rewriting Flickr hotlinks to local files.
It's a fun [citation needed] journey through YAML+XML, through ActiveRecord then back to Markdown.

We’ve written a help article about the differences between Micro.blog and Mastodon. Hope it helps clarify a few things! I love our support for ActivityPub, but we’re trying to do something different too and don’t want to lose that.

@anildash I didn't like how awkward it was for someone to follow you from an external site, so I built FediFollow
FediFollow gives you a page where someone can put their handle in and be redirected to their instance's remote follow page.
For example, here's mine: https://fedifollow.glitch.me/follow?account=codefoodpixels%40indieweb.social
Folks can go to https://fedifollow.glitch.me to get the link to their own follow page.

I kid you not when I'm saying the mobile version of #Mastodon is really good. Even on desktop I resized the browser window to see if the responsiveness will trigger and it did, and I just kept it like that. All those feeds/shortcuts in the left sidebar are super handy. I'll just leave it in this aspect ratio, move to the side of the screen and keep it like that all day long.

I don't back much on Patreon, but decided to chip in for #indieweb since it's an actual server and real admin keeping it alive, and not by a large infra team continuously threatened by some entitled billionaire with a personality cult bigger than Nicolae Ceausescu's.

I asked a question in Mastodon founder Eugen Rochko's upcoming AMA today on Reddit.
"Are you concerned that the workload of Mastodon instance admins since the mass exodus from Twitter will be more than some can handle, leading to shutdowns that leave a lot of users frustrated? Being decentralized is great but it depends on tireless and sometimes thankless work from the volunteers running the instances."

Mastodon is not a platform. Mastodon is just a tiny part of a concept many have been dreaming about and working on for years. Social media started on the wrong foot. The idea for the read/write web has always been different. Our digital identities weren’t supposed to end up in something like Twitter or Facebook or Instagram.
Decentralisation, Federation, The Indie Web: There were many groups silently working on solving the broken architecture of our digital social networks and communication channels – long, long before the “web 3” dudes tried to reframe it as their genius new idea.
I’ve been a part of this for many years until I gave up hope. How would you compete against the VC money, the technical and economical benefits of centralised platforms? It was a fight between David and Gloiath. But now Mastodon could be the stone.

Mastodon has gotten two things right that no other social media giant has even seriously attempted:
- If you follow someone on Mastodon, you’ll see everything they post; and
- If you leave a Mastodon server, you can take both your followers and the people you follow with you.
The most common criticism of Mastodon is that you must rely on individual moderators who may be underresourced, incompetent on malicious. This is indeed a serious problem, but it isn’t the same serious problem that Twitter has. When Twitter is incompetent, malicious, or underresourced, your departure comes at a dear price.
On Mastodon, your choice is: tolerate bad moderation, or click two links and move somewhere else.
On Twitter, your choice is: tolerate moderation, or lose contact with all the people you care about and all the people who care about you.

Hello @Gargron I am just curious whether you believe this issue will be reconsidered - https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/12915. The workaround doesn't work for me and it would be nice to have this feature work in #bridgy for #wordpress and #mastodon.#indieweb
