Found something I wrote in 2009, when Yahoo shut down Geocities:
"It’s funny: the things we expect to disappear from the web often don’t, but the things we expect to be permanent often do drop out of existence. GeoCities appeared 14 years ago. Will today’s blogs, Facebook pages, forums, and wikis still be around 14 years from now?"

The blog I posted it on is still there. A lot of sites it linked to aren't.
Still tweeting in Big Chad’s garage or tooting in little Chad’s garage next door?^2 What's the delay?
Choosing a domain name?^3
Or a service or other path?^4
Or #TwitterMigration to #Mastodon?
Two #IndieWeb alternatives to owning your notes (https://micro.blog/ or https://fed.brid.gy/, either with your own domain) both support migrating your followers from Mastodon.
For example, I migrated my experimental @t@xoxo.zone Mastodon account to my own site^5, @tantek.com, thanks to the migration support in Bridgy Fed.
If you’re not sure where you’d like to migrate, you can try https://micro.blog/ for 30 days to see if it works for you.
If you’re a #webDev or otherwise like to tinker, it’s well worth the time to setup your own website with an SSG or CMS^6 or your own code, and grow it incrementally as you post and have time to do so.
Either way, drop by https://chat.indieweb.org/ and ask any questions you have.
There’s a whole community that wants you to succeed, that wants to help you own your notes.
This is day 21 of #100DaysOfIndieWeb #100Days, written the night after.

Eat Our Own Dog Food by Scott Adams
If I want a static HTML site to show up as a followable #ActivityPub actor, what would I have to do to make it happen? 🤔 I seem to remember having seen someone pull off something like that a little while ago. #WebDev #IndieWeb
Today, I diverged just a little bit to test my Micropub implementation using Micropub.Rocks. According to the site it will “** _Micropub Rocks!_** is a validator to help you test your Micropub implementation. Several kinds of tests are available on the site.”

## Project Journal: IndieWeb Webmentions: Planning – Learning Day 6 (https://tmichellemoore.com/?p=152288)
Cooks often taste their dishes while cooking, and modify them accordingly. Some even prepare entire dishes or meals to try themselves first, before preparing them for others.
On the IndieWeb, some of us do the same by first testing our own code changes in production^4 on our personal sites, before publishing them more widely. Sometimes we let our changes simmer on our own sites for a while, before serving our code for others to consume.
I myself have been most recently testing in production my at-mention auto-linking updates^5 on my site for over a week now. They seem to be working well, and I haven’t noticed any errors or regressions, so I’ll likely roll at least some of those changes into the CASSIS GitHub repo soon.
While testing in production may be a reasonable & good practice for personal sites, it’s often a bad idea for corporate or critical web sites or services, and there’s no shortage of such examples.
I have been wanting to write about our IndieWeb “test in production” practices for a while, and finally created a separate page on the IndieWeb wiki accordingly^4, organizing content from other pages, and adding examples beyond the IndieWeb as well.
Do you write code for your website that you test there in production before sharing it more broadly on GitHub etc.? Add yourself to the examples section^6

So I'm participating in #100DaysOfIndieWeb #100Days where I post 1 post a day in the #Indieweb way*.

@rynltylr @pluralistic I enjoyed the heck out of this article. But it does make me wonder if people are going to forget, and go back into the ecosystem, or will the #indieweb grow after the Twitter saga? Having free things, and convenience is such a pull.
The language that grew up with me
You know those kid’s bikes that you can upgrade from a balance bike to a something that will take your child to elementary school? CSS did something like that for me.

@jnwlrvn Naast het ‘fediversum’ (dat tegenwoordig vooral op ‘ActivityPub’ draait en waarvan Mastodon deel uitmaakt) bestaat er ook zoiets als de #indieweb-beweging. (Er is overigens flink wat overlap tussen beide, al gaat het ‘IndieWeb’ toch vooral over ‘eigenaarschap’ en [dus] het hebben van een eigen website [waar vervolgens heel wat ‘sociale features’ aan kúnnen worden toegevoegd], daar waar het fediversum vooralsnog [vooral] om ‘apps’ lijkt te gaan.) https://indieweb.org
Today, I had to move on but I will continue reading the Articles on the Webmention page. I read the Webmention-Developer page on the IndieWeb.org website. This page discussed the protocol summary, how to send, receive, and test. It provided links to libraries. But most importantly referred us to the Webmention.rocks Testing tool. I successfully tested all except… Read more >> https://tmichellemoore.com/?p=152205 Day 14 of 100 #100DaysofIndieWeb, #IndieWeb, #ProjectJournal, #WordPress

Post Own Site Using Mastodon.
I just made that up.
Describes [my] practice of writing things as Mastodon posts first.
Then,
Either copying & pasting,
or RSS-ing
What you, okay I,
Wrote in those Mastodon toots/posts onto one's self-hosted website or blog.
POSUM
.
Previously
Sometimes people created tweet-threads as public drafts of potential blog posts.
Replies to tweets in the thread might end up in one's blog post on their own site.
