Working on some more flexibility this morning to give people options for blocking Threads and other instances. Mixing lots of account types in one system is increasingly complicated: Micro.blog usernames, Mastodon handles, IndieWeb domains, newsletter email addresses… Spaghetti code.

Updated my website with some progress on my radio projects. Mostly trying to get the active antenna circuit to work again. #electronics #radio #indieweb

Using platforms like #Twitter & #Substack as your content home is a bad idea. Publish your content the POSSE/PESOS way instead.

@deadsuperhero for those that want public identities centered around their domains (#indieweb) this is a feature that they probably spent time ensuring enough rel:me tags for. For those wanting alt accounts or privacy, yeah not enough common sense like not reusing names, emails, etc going around.

@tchambers I noticed that donations are via #Patreon https://www.patreon.com/indiewebsocial but #IndieWeb https://indieweb.org uses #OpenCollective https://opencollective.com/indieweb .

Is that for philosophical reasons, simple disambiguation or some other reason?

@MerriNet Thank you for linking to Modern Font Stacks! My #website uses two fonts, but serves them itself rather than use Google Fonts. I’ll have to see how the alternatives look. #IndieWeb

@starbreaker @fluffy What do you not like about webmentions out of curiosity? I’m beginning to dive more into #indieweb and was considering an implementation.

@fluffy I agree with you, but I think #indieweb has some unnecessary baggage. For example, I think #webmentions were a mistake. Fortunately, they're optional.

Testing #Webmention & #bridgy support. If you see this post, could you comment or like it?

With Threads hitting 80 million users already, a lot of folks are dismissing Bluesky. But maybe it’s more important than ever for Bluesky to succeed. Or pivot slightly and implement enough of ActivityPub to co-exist? Micro.blog already cross-posts to Bluesky and I haven’t ruled out full federation.

Remade my personal #website upgrading it from the good old Server Side Includes #SHTML to Astro! I kept the design fairly simple (= I'm not a designer so that is a sensible thing to do). The site should be fairly accessible too.

In the #IndieWeb fashion I now have a more or less old fashioned page for links. Maybe interesting for you, maybe not.

This slow, rainy Saturday morning accidentally brought something pretty cool alive — a URL Shortener that defends against link rot using @ipfs 's new _redirects feature.

Bonus points: you can make new shortlinks with a val.town API!

@starbreaker I agree with everything said in that and I really wish #indieweb were a more popular choice for this stuff. XML/mf2 feeds with simple composable protocols instead of everything needing to be An App.

Finally updated my Zapier zap that connectis Untappd to WordPress. Thanks to Khurt at https://islandinthenet.com/manual-until-it-hurts/ for detailing the process and making it semi-easy. Ha. Now if I can just get Zapier to change the post type to “Drink” it will be perfect-ish. #untappd #zapier #indieweb

I realised I haven't shared the basic website in question here yet, so behold a work in progress: https://enchantedsleeper.space/

(Mostly I've been working on the fanfic portion, though I haven't uploaded much fic yet; it's largely placeholders. Lots more to come! But it's fun!)

I also wrote a DW post about my sort of retro coding adventures here: https://enchantedsleeper.dreamwidth.org/4618.html

Second thoughts about Threads

#indieweb #personal-website #blogging

Was mir gerade einfällt: Lebt das #IndieWeb eigentlich noch? Gibts da interessante, aktuelle Sachen?

My posting workflow this morning: I post to my blog from my Mac, it goes out via ActivityPub, RSS of course, and Micro.blog sends it to Bluesky and Nostr. Then I go to my iPhone and… copy/paste it into Threads! iPhone-only may have been alright for Instagram, but it’s not gonna fly here for long.
