The best website in the world?

You are FRICKIN' awesome!!! Thank you for taking this stance AND sharing it with us! Yes, this is indeed why I am here (in the #fediverse, on #Mastodon, with #indieweb.social).
This is a pretty great set of #indieweb principles to build an online presence upon. Think it gels very well with #fediverse values also.
Arguably, the most important blog post I ever wrote. A sort of personal manifesto on my site.
After I stopped promoting myself as if I were a brand, I needed to put my foot down and declare what I stand for, on the only place that's not going away: my personal website.
So, here it is. A personal manifesto, where I touch on these topics:

#MentalHealth
#Sustainability
#Technology
#SmallWeb
#IndieWeb
#SocialMedia
Indieweb.social has 248 patrons pitching in $747.40 a month to help support the operation of this Goldilocks-sized Mastodon instance.

I moved here seven months ago to live close to the #indieweb.
I don’t have much to add to the Meta vs. the fediverse debate beyond what John Gruber has written about. Big platforms using open APIs is a good thing! Much better than closed silos and locked-down APIs. I don’t trust Facebook either, but preemptively blocking them is shooting ourselves in the foot.
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
#POSSE, short for “Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere”, as a term of use is now 11 years old³, 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 garage⁵, 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 shutdown⁶ at the end of its incredible journey⁷, removing posts & permalinks from the web, POSSE was there for people who were tired of losing their data, permalinks, & profiles, and wanted an alternative.

Looking for more #IndieWeb advice. I want to “just write” and I also want to “just code a perfect website with #ActivityPub ID, Webmentions, etc.” and am stuck.
Deprecated name is at https://johnthomas.tech and want to move to https://renegadejade.com.
No blog currently but my historical MO is a .md -> Git -> Netlify/Vercel workflow, previous with Jekyll and currently with Nextjs. In particular, I love Chakra UI. SSG complicates federation, though.
Is headless Wordpress + Nextjs a solid move?

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.
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.
