Two anniversaries today: microformats (18y) and POSSE (11y).

Happy 18 years of https://microformats.org/ #microformats!

Most prominent this past year (again) has been the littlest #microformat that could:

rel=me — AKA #relme, now effectively the standard for #distributed #verification on the web:
* https://microformats.org/wiki/rel-me (originally introduced in 2004¹)

with support added in the past year for:
* #GitHub multiple rel-me links²
* #Wikipedia User page rel-me link³

Figure out how you want to fit into the network., which is surprising since when it was conceived, the #IndieWeb community was in a period of very rapid innovation & iteration.

POSSE itself replaced a previous term, "POSE", short for “Publish Once Syndicate Everywhere”, which had only been around a year or two at most (I’m still looking for the first use of the "POSE" abbreviation for that meaning).

Since “publish once” was vague enough to include practices of publishing once on a social media silo, or in someone else’s garage, we needed to clearly express the requirement to use your own site instead, first, as the source of your truth. Cross-posting to other sites & channels, is a second, optional step, ideally with a permalink linking back to your original post so viewers can easily discover and use your site.

That distinction was enough for POSSE to express a strong creator-owned-first publishing model that resonated and grew. Every time a silo shutdown at the end of its incredible journey, removing posts & permalinks from the web, POSSE was there for people who were tired of losing their data, permalinks, & profiles, and wanted an alternative.

Cloudflare puts me in a hard place. I'm trying to move towards a more #indieweb niche (which is taking time) but one of the services I need to find a way to avoid is #cloudflare. Don't get me wrong, its an awesome service, but so much of the internet depends upon it that I want to use something smaller.

The only problem is they provide so many services that migrating out will literally take years, if I can even manage it.

I can tell on Bridgy Fed that I got a webmention "like" but it isn't showing up on Webmention.io. #indieweb
@renegadejade@hachyderm.io in short, yes, it is a thing!

Lots of great replies to your post already about directly using #WithKnown or #WordPress with the #ActivityPub plugin, or cross-posting from/via GitHub.

Another #IndieWeb compatible option is Bridgy Fed (https://fed.brid.gy/) which can proxy posts, replies, likes etc. directly from a blog to #fediverse / ActivityPub (no #Mastodon account needed). Details: https://fed.brid.gy/docs

This very reply to your toot is from my own domain, and its #hashtags are also discoverable via fediverse hashtags.

I set up #BridgyFed last October¹ along with the broader #TwitterMigration I saw happening in my circles, and am quite happy with it. Posted more about my experience after a few months², and using BridgyFed to add a fediverse follow form to my homepage³.

Whether WordPress, Known, or with another blog setup & Bridgy Fed, pick what works best for you and your setup. There’s #IndieWeb folks using each, feel free to drop by https://chat.indieweb.org/dev to chat more about any IndieWeb/fediverse option!

I feel like it's time to ditch #webmentions from my website. The ratio for spam to real mentions has taken a steep turn towards the former.

This also offers a chance to wipe out any Javascript from the website, which is incredibly tempting.

I had a good time watching your #video and this is just my #Firstimpression.

Very glad you made this video about #Lemmy and #Kbin.

Also its interesting to see #IndieWeb #SiteDeaths

I now write in iA, export and schedule in #Ghost, and #Zapier creates a draft in #Medium that’s ready to schedule. This is how the #IndieWeb should work. On the other hand, #Substack refuses to create an API.

I want to hop in on the #redditmigration train but I’m unsure about picking between Lemmy and Kbin. Any informed #indieweb #fediverse digizen that has a preference?

Dear #indieweb people-- what's the least enshittified domain registrar out there? I need to find a new one. Again. 😭

@wagesj45 absolutely! You should check out the world of #indieweb https://indieweb.org/webring

You might also enjoy #geminispace - different protocol, similar principles https://gemini.circumlunar.space/

@tchambers @jdp23 @misc @edendestroyer @fancysandwiches

out of curiosity, what do the #indieweb social users think about federating with Meta?

@jdp23 @misc @edendestroyer @fancysandwiches

As an admin: i can verify them using all the tools I verify #Indieweb social against any other big server that might push content that violates our terms of use or standards. Same exact tools work here.

I don't understand Medium. Can someone who publishes over there explain why you are posting there and not on youur own site?#medium #blogging #indieweb
