i am becoming more and more fucked off with those who parade the “indieweb” as the ideal, and the answer to all the problems with surveillance tech.
the #indieweb, as a group, consists of very nice, welcoming and encouraging people.
the indieweb, as a concept is nonsense. at best, it’s a 1% or 10% solution, making it little removed from a country club. it’s a solution for those who can afford it.
please, stop promoting it as a panacea. it isn’t and you’re showing your arse.
If any developers know how Mastodon turns a user's address like @rcade into a link, addresses for one instance don't appear to be working. #indieweb

Trying to get more into blogging and #Indieweb and learn its standards and protocols, check my own personal blog https://rd1.tech/ and subscribe to me RSS feed! also drop your suggestions for further reading materials, I'm really interested in that topic
😍 If you love #RSS or want to (re)start reading #blogs via RSS in 2023, then you’ll love this: @chriscoyier just shared his OPML of developer and designer blogs. 🔥

Once you setup your domain & provider (or host/CMS), you always know where to post.
Your own site.
Write first, defer “destination decisions”.
Create first, edit for audience(s) second.
It’s refreshing & liberating.
Whether text, photos, videos, podcasts, brief thoughts, thinking out loud, a considered essay or “thought piece”, or replies to any of the above, start with your own site.
Why burden yourself with having to decide what to post based on:
* Will this fit in 140^H^H^H 280 characters?
* Or 500?
* Does it need a title?
* Will my photos/videos fit their aspect ratio limits?
* Which four photos for this album? Or 10? What one aspect ratio to crop them all into?
* Will my video fit in 15, 30, 90, or 140 seconds?
* Will I upset Big Chad or be subject to selective enforcement of ever-changing policies?
* Can I edit my post after publishing?
By decoupling creating from “distribution”, or “audience”, or “reach”, or the size of someone else’s storage boxes, you are free to express your thoughts first, then optionally decide if you want to share them elsewhere and edit as necessary.
If you do want to syndicate (POSSE) your post, then you can decide:
* Where else to send your post
* Is it worth your time to edit your post for any particular destination
* … their content limits (number of characters/photos, or video length)
* … their audience expectations or terms of service sensitivities
Creating and editing are different mental tasks.
Decoupling them makes posting easier and you can do a better job at both.
You can defer destination decisions & editing to some point in the future entirely, when you feel it’s worth your time.
You decide how and when to spend time creating vs editing. You are in control.
This is day 5 of #100DaysOfIndieWeb #100Days
Day 4: https://tantek.com/2023/004/t1/choosing-domain-name-indieweb
Registered for Decentralized Website Communication with Webmention on Jan. 15.
I hope the #IndieWeb continues to gain momentum in 2023. I’m going to try and attend more virtual events like this. https://www.codementor.io/events/decentralized-website-communication-with-webmention-fwusximcte
❓ What's your opinion on this??

If you live in Germany or Austria and want to get started with your own website, as part of the #indieweb, it is good to know about the "impressumspflicht". Info in English: https://indieweb.org/Impressum
I don't consider companies like #adobe or Hasbro as anything other than gigantic corporate diseases, so far removed from their founding vision that they've become a behemoth better off slain.

@deerbard how about having a personal website, or use some place in the #fediverse (like mastodon.art or some #pixelfed instance) to call home to store your art ?
We have room at the #cipherbliss instance i manage, and i have quite a lof of history in drawing stuff.
You would be welcome here. Beware, we have lot of French speaking people around :D but they are lovely
I’ve always liked the idea of a CMS-agnostic (!) Microsub/Micropub client, but I’d want to host it myself, because what if it goes down, and so on. But I’d then have to host the Microsub server, too.
This way, I’ve only ever got to keep one (!) app running, one I was running already—my own site! (How’s that for sticking it to 3rd-party platforms?) Hooray
Hey, I'm research for a personal project I'm hoping to do this year. What is everyone favourite site from the years 2000 - 2013ish.
Personally I want study Y2K and Frutiger Aero aesthetics but all are welcome. Boosts are appreciated. I'll Start with some of my favs. Good old newgrounds, ytv, and the old xgen and miniclip sites to name a few.
@jeremy perhaps, although I feel like blogs and comments need to be more dynamic. Integrating #ActivityPub + other #IndieWeb elements could be a nice way to add a little more connectivity between everything.
@tantek.com I really like the phone company comparison for choosing a domain registrar... It's the most finicky part of #IndieWeb , unfortunately :/
I'm streaming working on my site again today.
If you're interested in Next.js the #IndieWeb, or watching me code, come say hi.
I think I need to do an #indieweb #mastodon #introduction for myself - I'm a #webdev, #guitarist (messing around with #synths and #keys lately too), and have a background in #environmental studies.
I worked as a field #biotech combating #invasiveSpecies before I got tired of the seasonal job hunt and switched to a childhood passion of tinkering with computers.
Lately I've been trying to combine all of my passions - mainly by way of #FOSS, such as #iNaturalist and #audacity.
Say hi!
