https://tmichellemoore.com/, Regarding “this account for your Mastodon posts”, I don’t use an “account”, nor any “Mastodon posts”. I have my website, https://tantek.com/, and use it to directly post notes & replies (like this one). Previously I had a https://xoxo.zone/ account which I have redirected to my website. Regarding, “not using any other Mastodon accounts”, there is no need to use any other accounts, Mastodon or otherwise, when you can post all notes & replies on your own site where you fully control the display, design, markup etc., without depending on an instance admin.

I'm doing some weeding on a 15 year old bike blog.
I have to remind myself that the mission was to provide actionable information to move people forward, not curate a content museum.
It''s time to ditch the product reviews for products that don't exist any more.
Big Tech supports the infinite storage model, where every post you give them is more lock-in, more data for profiling, more pages to show ads. But for a sustainable, useful #indieweb, I gotta weed the garden.

Shavuah tov and chodesh tov everybody. Welcome to a new week. Just a heads-up for #indieweb folks that if you're using IFTTT to pesos stuff back to your sites, &status=draft no longer works. I'm throwing things at the wall to see what sticks and will post a solve for posting drafts when I find one that works.

Explores what #Mastodon is, and isn't, and the nature of the structures through which we are connected. The internet, Cory Doctorow writes, is in a constant state of struggle between those who wish to encapsulate it, and those to wish to open it.
"The early web was made up of thousands of small firms, hobbyists, and user groups that all used the same standard protocols, which let them set up their own little corners of the internet — but also connected those communities through semi-permeable membranes that joined everything, but not in every way."

@tangentnotes Not "just". This absolutely *can* be a blog with an RSS feed and webmention support. Maybe with something like micropub for low-friction posting. #IndieWeb
But there's value in joining a network like Mastodon, or the fediverse at large. Signing up and not worrying about the underlying tech, conversations with like-minded folk on the same network, etc.
All the reasons you and me are here instead of "just" running a blog.

There’s a whole breadth of components that plug into this ecosystem and each one has its own strengths and weaknesses. Its pretty easy to imagine journalists using more than one tool that can get the job done here; Right now I’m doing just that – putting my longer form posts and series on a test blog instance at @jlg@micro.blog (which is neat – see #indieweb for more); keeping a pure Mastodon official presence at @jlgatewood and also being able to talk to #Diaspora networks (the “other” fediverse) over with my #Friendica instance @starrwulfe.
Unlike #birdsite, there’s no one-size-fits-all here; this is an ecosystem– a protocol like email, not just one app/one site. In order to completely understand how it works, it’s important to understand that analogy– Just as there’s some people who will use Gmail; there’s others who use Outlook, Thunderbird, or even Pine in a terminal window. But they can still talk to each other no matter what because the apps still use SMTP/IMAP/POP. The same could be said about the underlying protocol, ActivityWeb, that underpins Mastodon. Therefore, it’s important to make the distinction:
Mastodon is not a social network; it’s a service/app/component within ActivityWeb/Fediverse/OpenSNS*
Let it be known that for the sake of easier explanation in layman’s terms that I’m coining a new term “OpenSNS - Open Social Network Service” as a way of defining what up until now has been called the ActivityWeb protocol powered flavor of the “Fediverse” in order to help those more used to “Big SocialNets” way of doing things in a centralized silo manner. The use of OpenSNS when used as a protocol/underpinning discription is meant to be used in manner of how one would define Apple Homekit, Amazon Alexa and Apple Homkit’s use of Matter to talk to apps and equipment, i.e., Mastodon and PeerWeb are a part of OpenSNS.

Its pretty easy to imagine journalists using more than one tool that can get the job done here; Right now I\u2019m doing just that \u2013 putting my longer form posts and series on a test blog instance at @jlg@micro.blog (which is neat \u2013 see #indieweb for more); keeping a pure Mastodon official presence at @jlgatewood and also being able to talk to #Diaspora networks (the \u201cother\u201d fediverse) over with my #Friendica instance @starrwulfe. Unlike #birdsite, there\u2019s no one-size-fits-all here; this is an ecosystem\u2013 a protocol like email, not just one app/one site. In order to completely understand how it works, it\u2019s important to understand that analogy\u2013 Just as there\u2019s some people who will use Gmail; there\u2019s others who use Outlook, Thunderbird, or even Pine in a terminal window. But they can still talk to each other no matter what because the apps still use SMTP/IMAP/POP. The same could be said about the underlying protocol, ActivityWeb, that underpins Mastodon. Therefore, it\u2019s important to make the distinction:Mastodon is not a social network; it\u2019s a service/app/component within ActivityWeb/Fediverse/OpenSNS*Let it be known that for the sake of easier explanation in layman\u2019s terms that I\u2019m coining a new term \u201cOpenSNS - Open Social Network Service\u201d as a way of defining what up until now has been called the ActivityWeb protocol powered flavor of the \u201cFediverse\u201d in order to help those more used to \u201cBig SocialNets\u201d way of doing things in a centralized silo manner.

@dean@blindscribe I do use #Flickr, and would definitely recommend it as a good alternative to Facebook (full-res originals, proper licence metadata, approximate dates, …) but I wouldn't really call it part of the #indieweb. Not yet, anyway (they don't support #ActivityPup). The most #fediverse image system is #pixelfed I think, although I've not used it so can't really say what it's like. :-) https://pixelfed.org/

Like many others, I bootstrapped my experience with <a href=\"https://indieauth.com/\">indieauth.com</a> but as <a href=\"https://martymcgui.re/2022/07/31/switching-costs-for-an-indieauth-server/\">Marty McGuire explains</a>, there are good reasons to switch and even consider building your own. Because I wanted a server as simple to understand as possible but also wanted to be able to add features that are usually not available, I created a rails project called <a href=\"https://github.com/herestomwiththeweather/irwin\">Irwin</a> and <a href=\"https://github.com/herestomwiththeweather/herestomwiththeweather.github.io/commit/554dbaad13250a97c2b26c034fbce3dd6908c273\">recently configured my blog to use it</a>.</p>\n\n<p>This is not production ready code. While I know that <a href=\"https://github.com/voxpelli/webpage-micropub-to-github\">the micropub server I use</a> works with it, I expect others may not. Also, there is no support for refresh tokens and other things in the spec that I didn\u2019t consider high priority. It does support <a href=\"https://indieweb.org/PKCE\">PKCE</a> but not the less useful \u201cplain\u201d method.</p>\n\n<p>All of <a href=\"https://aaronparecki.com/2020/12/03/1/indieauth-2020\">IndieAuth Spec Updates 2020</a> was very clear and helpful. In one case, I made the server probably too strict (as an easy way to curtail spam registrations).

#lazyWeb#indieWeb#webdev folks: what is the best practice for building an #RSS reader (think of a barebones stripped down Feedly), considering RSS feed files could be very large in size?
Set up a chron job to index the feed contents, store to DB, and serve (get/read) from DB instead of fetching & reading from the feed URL directly?
