Decentralized Social Media Rises as Twitter Melts Down

ActivityPub is the kept as small as possible. The translation RSS -> ActivityPub can be done by independent service, I've written one for bovine here. I haven't gotten around to updating the package names there yet, but I think all that needs to be changed is bovine_core -> bovine.

I can hardly believe it, after two years I finally managed to work through all my tweets and sort them out properly. All tweets that remained, I have taken over to my website following PESOS.

There were really so many posts whose context I no longer understood myself. How should it expect it from others?

Found out about the #HomebrewWebsiteClub on the #IndieWeb site. It’s

“a growing world-wide network of meetups for everyone who wants to take back their web experience from #socialMedia silos, and own their online identities & content, or just want support with #blogging!”

I’ve been anti-digital sharecropping for awhile and with my new #blog, this is right up my alley.

I’d love to try to do a #meetup locally in person but this might be a cool thing to do as a monthly #webchat here on #Mastodon/the #Fediverse.

Comment or boost if you’re interested in joining a regular webchat here.

Kind of odd to me that #ActivityPub doesn't support following #RSS feeds in the spec. #IndieWeb 🤷‍♂️

Do you use indieauth?

IndieWeb Plugin Testing and Suggestions Project – Planning

Here is my plan for testing the IndieWeb plugins.

Day 31 of #100DaysofIndieWeb, #IndieWeb, #ProjectJournal

The Purpose

Testing and Offering Suggestions on the IndieWeb Plugins. One of the plugin authors said that he wished he had a volunteer to help test the plugins. I volunteered. I had to think about how to do this and the steps are below.

The Scope

The scope includes all plugins on the IndieWeb plugin plugins page that don’t require a classic theme.

Assumptions

A block theme and not a classic theme will be used.
Some plugins won’t be tested because of the use of a block theme.

The Plan

List the Plugins. (Name, descriptions, WordPress.org link, IndieWeb.org link, and GitHub link)
Pull the descriptions from the IndieWeb plugin interface.
Pull the descriptions from the plugin page on WordPress.org.
Pull the description from IndieWeb.org.
List the features based on the WordPress.org description.
View the plugins settings page to try to identify the feature through the settings.
Test the plugin by performing an action related to the features list and record the results.
Record the test results.
Record my suggestions.
Put it in a blog post.
Post negative results on the plugin’s GitHub page, if I see an error.
Let David S. know in the IndieWeb WordPress Slack channel.

IndieWeb Plugin Testing and Suggestions Project – IndieAuth Plugin

My testing and suggestions for the IndieAuth plugin are located here.

But will all users understand that? Would it be good to add a few links to sites that do allow this to be used? Also, it might be good to help us understand what an endpoint is. This plugin could become very technical based on the FAQ, if a person wanted to go further. Does anyone else have suggestions for that level of use?9IndieAuthFeatureUse your site to log into other services with IndieAuth.Testing Using Quill.

great to see the micro.blog network coupling with the mastodon network, I will be learning more about that this weekend! does anybody on micro.blog already have a lot of people following them from mastodon? that is neat. does micro.blog also have good support for RSS? #rss #indieweb #activitypub

We’re enabling ActivityPub for everyone now, not just recent users. This is needed so that you can fully migrate followers away from Micro.blog if you want to in the future. It will cause email notifications for some folks who haven’t used Micro.blog in years, but I think it’s the best way forward.

Is anyone aware of software that would provide commenting/likes/shares on a blog that is driven by #ActivityPub?

I've had a hunt but have come up short.

I'm thinking a Disqus like service that can be dropped into an existing static site and provide similar functionality driven by the interactions with a linked ActivityPub note.

This would be similar to #WebMentions via #IndieWeb but potentially more accessible to users who would simply be responding to a toot/post.

#SmallWeb #SelfHost

@ajsadauskas @pfefferle https://blog.opensource.org has it installed :) with a bunch of #IndieWeb plugins too

Added new rewritten, still WIP, micropub-server. Previous one was written in PHP but new one is written in Crystal. (https://hliimatta.me/notes/7p95ga) #indieweb #micropub #crystallang
