And happily so... my firm does a huge amount of Wordpress work, and has developed several plugins, and I think the "Venn diagram" of openweb, #Indieweb and #Mastodon developers should have gigantic overlap.
Am very encouraged by the work at Automattic at Mastodon inclusion into Jetpack, and think greater integration between WordPress and Fediverse standards is the most natural thing in the world.
Added a #hashtag cloud to my Microblog page https://abnv.me/mb because why not! #indieweb
I've been on here for years and never actually did an #introduction post. Better late than never?
I'm a #neurodivergent #British #Trans Woman with #Dyspraxia, #Dyslexia and #Dyscalculia. I'm a recovering #tech / #computing hobbyist (trying to give it up, don't encourage me).
I'm into #art, #sewing/ #textiles (very much a newbie though), #crafts, #music, #writing / #fiction and #slowmovement.
I was atheist but I'm trying to get into #paganism (#celticpaganism / #celticreconstructionism specifically) and am planning to learn #welsh.
I'm a fan of #doctorwho and I've just started getting into #startrek.
I created "Starshine's Pages" on #neocities (link in bio) and I'm very interested in #webhistory and the #indieweb.
I've had follow requests on (and will likely indefinitely) since the Twitter exodus but feel free to request a follow, I'll accept if you seem like an ok person. Don't be offended if I don't though.

@fncll @cogdog used my Known install for 4 years .. really loved it .. wish I had properly archived it, but nuked it and started playing with the #indieweb wordpress stack in 2018 https://web.archive.org/web/20180501000000*/known.networkeffects.ca
"Domain names as usernames & account portability" is very #IndieWeb and pretty cool for people who have a domain.
@tim @eleventy I was able to use netlify and the caching plugin, brid.gy for mastodon connections. @sia has a great write up on implementing #webmentions and #indieweb items. https://sia.codes/posts/webmentions-eleventy-in-depth/
@mxbck had a great explanation as well too https://mxb.dev/blog/using-webmentions-on-static-sites/
Detweeting (and More)
Not that I’ve been particularly active on Twitter for quite a while now, but the way things have gotten, especially under its new owner, I decided it was finally time to go. I haven’t deleted my main account (yet), but I’ve deleted most of my tweet history, and the accounts I used for side projects, and I don’t plan on returning.
Mastodon has filled Twitter’s niche for me over the last few years (obviously different people have different use cases, so it may not fit yours), and you can still find me there at @KelsonV@Wandering.shop.
As for the archive, I’m slowly going through and looking for threads (and occasional single posts) that I think are worth keeping, importing them where they seem to fit best on this website, whether on the blog or another section.
It may be time to do the same with Facebook and Instagram* too. I haven’t been active on either of them in ages, and I’d rather own my data IndieWeb style than wait for Meta to go the way of LiveJournal.
*I’ve already trimmed a lot of my Instagram history.

And then a bit later the above comment was pulled into the site. I need to figure out which of the #IndieWeb plug-ins I enabled that did it.
Great discussion on not relying on one silo like twitter by @aleen and @tempest making very #IndieWeb points

So right now, #IndieWeb and #ActivityPub won't actually do more for you than #MicroBlog membership and the #ShareOnMastodon plugin BUT they have the potential to do more if the developers focus more on making it so that we at least get the same thing from them for our site identities that our meat connected identities get from Share on Mastodon. And #SyndicationLinks needs to post a link to where we can get the dang token. /end rant
“The #IndieWeb is a community of independent & personal websites connected by simple standards, based on the principles of:
owning your domain & using it as your primary identity, publishing on your own site (optionally syndicating elsewhere), and owning your data.”

I’ve gone full Web 1.0 and added a #GuestBook to my new yet intentionally old school #adhd #blog - drop by and say something!
I’ve been reading up on #Webmentions and the #IndieWeb today and feel that I’ve got to be the change I want to see so supporting IndieWeb protocols & principles is important.
One of the use-cases mentioned was to allow people to comment on a site in general - which made me think of Ye Olde Guest Book.
So what #IndieWeb is good for is to join a community of other webmasters and make a wiki page that will probably never be read because #GoogleSoldOut but it's nice to feel welcome somewhere. I don't underestimate the value of community validation. It is a reasonable vetting process to make sure someone has a domain and can install a plugin for this.
It's also a good thing to introduce people to microformats, h-cards, and other things that will make them easier to find since Google sold out.
@Arp Woah - the reply to the post appeared as a comment on the site 🤯
So in this thread, the developers in #ActivityPub and #IndieWeb are going to get a little of the side smoke that really belongs in #WordPress 's lungs, but y'all should catch some because if you're going to make tools for us you need to be paying attention to us. Some of you might be, but maybe some of this is Google's fault since nowadays if you search, people like me are invisible. You're only going to see ____ digital solutions, not ____ cat pics, hand sewn plush, and social commentary.
Frustration kicking in... facing the prospect of a yet another new project nobody will appreciate until it's gone... taking a step back... Okay, I need to articulate some things about IndieWeb and ActivityPub on Wordpress. I am finding some features useful and some not very. In the end, I would recommend to other webmasters to not go through the bother, and just make a Microblog account, feed in your feeds, and install Share on Mastodon. Now the why.
