The time for an easily self-hosted personal CMS, designed around the Fediverse and IndieWeb is now.

No, I don’t mean hacking it into a legacy CMS like WordPress. It needs to be modern, and completely focused.

(The CMS I use, Known, had the right idea, about 5 years too early).

So close to having an #indiekit instance stood up. It’s not talking to my MongoDB server container, for some reason. #indieweb #POSSE

@mjgardner fully follow that #indieweb is not a protocol. But in the context of being a software engineer looking to build something, at some point a distinction needs to be understood, "I just built this thing. Is it accurate to claim this is working with the #indieweb?"

@fluffy @tuxracer #IndieWeb is an improv troupe constantly saying, “Yes, and…” The world would do better to understand that exercise.
@tuxracer sigmoid.social/@tuxracer

@mjgardner @fluffy My understanding exactly, #IndieWeb a community not protocol.

Now as an engineer if you want to build something which could be said to be #indieweb compatible #webmentions #activitypub #microformats etc are all just many ways

Nothing more than a well documented HTTP `curl` request is required. The data freely available in the open.

This would in some way put #activitypub under the general umbrella of #indieweb

@fluffy @tuxracer The “winning” narrative also stems from the #Malthusian zero-sum idea that there can only be one winner, which is completely counter to #IndieWeb.
@mjgardner social.sdf.org/@mjgardner

@fluffy @tuxracer By its own definition, #IndieWeb is a community. The protocols are a side-effect. If you’re putting the latter before the former you’re missing the point. https://indieweb.org/IndieWeb
@tuxracer sigmoid.social/@tuxracer

@fluffy aware they are different my understanding is #activitypub is part of #indieweb it's just one protocol of many #microformats being another

unless the term #indieweb is specific to #microformats or some specific protocol ? truly unclear to me

The temperature in the past days was ~11-13 degrees Celsius. For Christmas in South #Romania this is absurd and getting worse by the year.

10y ago it was much much colder and 15y ago we even had some solid chances of snowing before Christmas Eve.

20y ago, by this time, the snow was already some weeks old and adding up, and we were sledding everyday after school from December til early February.

I can't explain how bad it feels to know how it used to be.

As new federated systems go mainstream, we need to ensure we're supporting the humans and organizations behind them. I'm not just talking about Mastodon, Pixelfed, Peertube, and BookWyrm :blobcatoutage:

This update from The #Matrix Foundation is concerning:
https://matrix.org/blog/2022/12/25/the-matrix-holiday-update-2022

We are on notice. The success of the tech we rely on isn't guaranteed just by merit of our use. We need to invest in these projects and communities.

I'm ashamed of how difficult this was for me.

There are a bunch of people trying to build social platforms which happen to be #indieweb compatible but unfortunately, building platforms takes time and effort, and getting users on board in a way that provides the resources for that is difficult.

I’d love for working on this stuff to be a full-time job but my available resources mean I’m only able to focus on the parts I personally need, and that’s a common issue in general.
@fluffy plush.city/@fluffy

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.
@jbrr mastodon.sdf.org/@jbrr

@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

That time of the year when I am trying to remember how my site works so I could tinker with it.

#website #indieweb #holidays #eleventy
@jbrr mastodon.sdf.org/@jbrr

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.
