Next up on my #ReclaimOpen playlist is @kfitz who wants "us to go back and see if we can recover some of the best of what 2003 represented and infuse it with everything we've learned in the two decades since." Things like the #IndieWeb, the #fediverse, creativity without VCs, #Webrings & #RSS

Honestly, despite the ruckus happening at #Twitter #Reddit and other #SocialMedia, 2023 is the happiest I've been online.
That's because I discovered the idea of the #IndieWeb and also the #fediverse. I just feel more in control now and less manipulated by algorithms.
As a content creator, I feel less helpless & able to reach readers. :)

The ability to control your information flow is priceless!

First time I've seen the hashtag #IndieWeb. I like it!

What happened to #Twitter and now #Reddit is an urgent reminder that we need to embrace #Indieweb principles if we want to preserve Internet communities and free flow of information.

@shoq @Green_Footballs it does a bit more thanks to #webmentions, it retrieves comments under the original source post and display them on the blog (currently only works with Mastodon as far as I'm aware) this is part of the #indieweb concepts

@masukomi @webrecorder No need to conflate the "solve problem for everyone" with "save the content i care about" - the priority i shared in my original post.

If I've learned anything, it's that the larger coordination problems (cf web standards 😂) can take decades...

(I like that aspect of the #indieweb principles - "solve own problem first" as a design characteristic.)

Christian @the_cheis escribe en THE_CHEI$ sobre Linux, software libre y contracultura. En este post analiza la situación actual de las grandes plataformas sociales y como éstas han engullido al usuario, a la vez que plantea la web pequeña como posible solución al problema.

Oh, looks like Quill has been updated to indicate other social networks' character limits, because of one particular social network's downfall. Neat.

I don't remember the last time I opened that particular social network though...

#Quill #IndieWeb

I know that platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit aren't actually "the commons" but in my opinion there is a reason we see more engagement across a broader cross-section of stakeholders on these platforms -- they are easier to navigate.

I don't really have a succinct ending to this train of thought except if we expect things like the #IndieWeb to take off we need to make them more accessible to a wider cross section of people.

I'm not looking for anything specific at the moment, just doing a bit of a sniff test on alignment and general adoption re: principles.

I wanted to add pingback support to WordPress pages so I could enable Webmentions on my new Guestbook. After a bit of searching, I extrapolated the correct functions.php snippet from a guide for a different point and added the functionality to pages without breaking my site.

Some blogging myths

  • myth: you need to be original
  • myth: you need to be an expert
  • myth: posts need to be 100% correct
  • myth: writing boring posts is bad
  • myth: you need to explain every concept
  • myth: page views matter
  • myth: more material is always better
  • myth: everyone should blog

If you added a #Mastodon / #ActivityPub follow form to your #IndieWeb site based on Bridgy Fed (e.g. using code/instructions I previously posted¹), you need to update it to add another invisible input element for the "protocol", e.g.:

<input name="protocol" type="hidden" value="web" />

Otherwise people trying to use your form to follow you may see an error from #BridgyFed like:
> Bad Request
> Missing required parameter protocol

Here is the complete example that I posted previously with the new invisible input:

<form method="post" action="https://fed.brid.gy/remote-follow">
 <label for="follow-address">🐘 Follow
  <kbd>@tantek.com@tantek.com</kbd>:<br />
  enter your @-@ fediverse address:</label>
 <input id="follow-address" name="address" type="text" required="required"
        placeholder="@you@instance.social" alt="fediverse address" value="" />
 <input name="domain" type="hidden" value="tantek.com" />
 <input name="protocol" type="hidden" value="web" />
 <button type="submit">Follow</button>
</form>

I also updated that previous post¹ with the new input in case people find that instead.

hiya! first time shifting instances so wanted to introduce myself again - apologies to those who know me already!

i'm alexandra! i'm in my 30s, live in san francisco with my boyfriend, and work in tech. i'm a queer, neurodivergent lady from the south who cares too much about the internet. my interests include writing, painting, traveling, learning, anthropology, nature, experiencing new things, video games, interior design, tabletop games, and history (read more: https://xandra.cc).

i'm passionate about the independent/personal web and want more people to build websites, host their own web services, create more, and lessen their dependence on social media and an overall corporate web (read more: https://32bit.cafe).

it's nice to meet you!
