New Blog Post! Resources to find cool indie sites #indieweb
Every couple of days, Youtube serves up an ad that starts with "what if you could control the web with your mind?" I never fail to respond with "do you know... the #IndieWeb?"
Timehop is having issues with Instagram againālogin issues. Good thing I already backed up my Instagram posts on Google Photos, which is still accessible by Timehop. And, of course, I also reposted it on my microblog. #Timehop #Instagram #GooglePhotos #IndieWeb
'Your blog doesnāt have to be big and fancy. It doesnāt have to outrank everyone on Google, make money or āconvert leadsā to be important. It can be something that exists for its own sake, as your place to express yourself in whatever manner you please.'
Felt inspired to talk about the small web and personal websites again, so my latest blog post is something of a brain dump on the subject.
By the time a few more tech places (just saw the Substack news) add 'notes' and other Indieweb capabilities (of course better if people do it for themselves on their own sites) CorpTech will find itself being dismantled on an ever increasing scale. #indieweb #notes (https://www.axiomeval.me/posts/20230412-notes-help-dismantle-corptech.html)
micro blogging friends, my followers on #mastodon lacks a CSV download link, does anyone know how to download followers? ā¤ļøšš¼ #activitypub #indieweb #rss
Changed my microblog page (https://abnv.me/mb) to point the post links to https://elk.zone instead of the default #Mastodon UI because of superior threading UI on @elk.

When you look at these #indieweb standards it is so clear why the #Fediverse and the Indieweb movement are such close allies and technological "cousins."
If I could stop you from your scrolling for a second, I have a favour to ask...
Could you all please send me your favourite personal websites?
I wanna see all your cool quirky heartfelt creative shit!
Oh! and don't forget to boost this so we've all got lots of great sites to look at š
#Substackās financials are⦠suspect. Plus, the platform doesnāt seem interested in an open #IndieWeb future. So, Iām building a life raft. Read about how in todayās newsletter.

New blog post up, where I talk about how I discovered the indie web and how it makes me feel.
Inspired by a podcast and an article. For the link to the latter, thank you to @lostletters@social.yesterweb.org!

@koss love this #Indieweb and #fediverse statement š„
Inspired by Cory Doctorow (@pluralistic) , I've been thinking about the IndieWeb idea of POSSE (Publish on your Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere, see https://indieweb.org/POSSE) and how to extend the reach of my blog posts. So I'm trying something new and syndicating blog posts to dev.to.
dev.to makes this quite nice with native support a "canonical URL" for posts originally published elsewhere. It's also pretty easy to repost existing content to since it supports Markdown (my posts are written in reStructuredText for my website but can be easily converted to Markdown using pandoc) and future posts can be automatically shared to dev.to via an RSS feed.
So, assuming I don't find any reason to cancel this experiment, you'll be able to read my writing at https://dev.to/pbarker as well as here on Mastodon and on my website.
