BTW the criticism of #indieweb based on it being “too technical” is absolutely a valid one. It’s more of a set of guides for someone to build IndieWeb-compatible tools, but unfortunately there are very few such tools that have been built for users to just Use.
It’s a tough chicken-egg, because the idea is to make it so *anyone* can join which makes for a bit of a paradox.
This is why I keep evangelizing it to tumblr, cohost, etc, because it’s something the platforms can (and should!) adopt.

@jecxjo yeah, good point, maybe. What would be *great* is if non engineers got involved in open source. Like product folk getting involved in the roadmap, or qa testers testing for humans instead of engineers. Or design people making things look less bootstrap-y (side note, I’m super impressed with the design chops of a lot of the #indieweb folks). Non-engineers working on OSS would make a huge difference, but there’s usually not a reasonable way to do that for them without learning git, &c

I’m starting to come around to the idea of #micropub and #indieweb in general, but discovery is so hard. Also, the prerequisite amount of technical knowledge required is sooooo high. People think Mastodon is too technical for goodness sake. That kind of built in gatekeeping rubs me the wrong way. Not that I think it’s intentional, and I know there are a lot of folks working hard on making it more approachable, but maybe that could be a focus instead of designing yet another open standard.

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."

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.

I was exploring ways to add an RSS feedreader to my WordPress site and installed PressForward. I was looking for a replacement for my Inoreader subscription.
