I'm finally dipping my toes into an auto-poster setup using the Share on Mastodon plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/share-on-mastodon
Fingers crossed that this works as-expected, although I'm sure I'll end up with some formatting oddities in the short-term. It'll be worth it, though!

New blog scrap: Sadness - Making and Receiving
This scrap is a brain dump of overcoming one of my worst habits, making myself sad.

really excited for next month's #queer #tech meetup in #bristol - we'll be talking about what leadership looks like for queers.
It's a topic I've become really interested in lately - I feel corporate environments often fail those who don't fit the expected profile of a "senior" person.

Hello, internet | Sam O’Neill
I have been reminded time and time again of the utility of writing. How it is a way to turn messy thoughts into coherent ideas, and how – as we all know – practice makes perfect. So I’m going to give it a go.
Welcome to the indie web, Sam!
How to sell the fediverse and decentralization to the masses:
“Imagine doing all the stuff you do today on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter…but doing it without battling some random corporate algorithm, minus all the advertising and tracking, and knowing you aren’t making a billionaire billionairier.”
Nerd friends of Lincoln, a friend and I are going to host a mini Homebrew Website Club next week, dm me for details if you'd like to join and we know each other IRL. (Hosting at my home for this one, sorry strangers)
As a celebration of the indie web, we'll all work on our personal sites (code? No-code? Blog?) and do a lil show & tell.
#IndieWeb
I’m excited that Mozilla is experimenting with #socialWeb alternatives to centralized #socialMedia silos.
There are many #Mozillians with #fediverse addresses you can follow:
* https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mastodon
Several of these folks also have their own #IndieWeb sites.
It’s interesting seeing how people are individually choosing to use a fediverse address on someone else’s server, vs their own server like with a subdomain, vs just using their existing site.
One trend I have seen is people using someone else’s Mastodon server as a stepping stone, a learning experience, before migrating to either self-hosting Mastodon (or an easier to run alternative like microblog.pub³, not to be confused with micro.blog⁴), or ideally directly using their own site, blog etc. to connect to the fediverse⁵.
Do you have an @-@ address and want to use your own site instead?
If you’re a #webdev, you can totally do this by connecting your existing personal site with https://fed.brid.gy/ and own your presence on the web, social web, fediverse all at one place.

I wrote a small python script that takes the CSV of the accounts you follow and converts them into an OPML file that can be imported into an RSS reader. This way you can read all your RSS feeds and follow Mastodon accounts in one place.
The script is available on GitHub.
I hate it when there isn't parity between iOS and Android for one particular application, particularly if it's an app that's not for productivity as much as for enrichment. As a tech witch, I have found ways to use technology to assist with spiritual communications. I will seriously buy a cheap tablet just to run Indigenous and valhalla+. Indigenous is for the #indieweb, while Valhalla+ is for Viking communications with the gods and lots of other cool pagan features.
Maybe you left the big garage and now toot in your neighborhood Chad’s garage. It’s still someone else’s garage. https://xkcd.com/1150; #IndieWeb
Maybe it was an easier first step to take. Time to take the next step, with your own domain, and a turnkey service like https://micro.blog/;, or an https://indieweb.org/CMS; if you prefer, or go full stack and make it yourself, using building blocks like https://indieweb.org/Indiekit;.. Just https://indieweb.org/start.
This is day 1 of my 2023 #100Days project, #100DaysOfIndieWeb, posting an #IndieWeb encouragement, tool, or tip at least once a day for 100 days, to setup and use your own personal site instead of someone else’s garage.
In the theme of: https://indieweb.org/100_days#100_Days_of_IndieWeb

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?
Check out my blog post on implementing indieauth and enabling h-entry on my website using Datenstrom Yellow Flat File CMS.
