@rubymayvalentine requisite tagging of #IndieWeb, #SmallWeb, and #TheWebWeLost
Is there a not-evil place to park domains? Just signing into GoDaddy makes me feel icky.
#IndieWeb folks?
I recently shared a note (https://shellsharks.com/notes/2023/08/16/your-website-your-identity) about why having a domain as your identity is so important these days thanks in large part to the enshittification of the large social platforms. But I extend this warning to those who have placed their trust in *any* platform, even something like Mastodon. See what has happend with outdoors.lgbt (http://outdoors.lgbt) (i.e. catastrophic backup failure), or what is _currently_ happening with fosstodon (https://m6n.io/@fuzzychef/110936040096524936) and you will see that even good intentioned server admins are still prone to failure. These failures can result in total loss of your online identity/account. So put your faith in yourself. Buy a domain, host your stuff there, syndicate it out where you please, *live on*.
Guess what
I’ve done it and now I have an abomination of a form in my CMS which I can now write stuff in, including replies, image assets, and quick access to permashortlink creation.
Next problem: syndication—it would be neat to automatically share to the social networks that I use, but I don’t have the skills to figure it out yet so I’m copying and pasting manually, which works but does burn time to do.
The effort needed to make this happen probably is well beyond putting up with this current process, but who knows? Would be nice to have.

Hello Darkness my old friend.

I’m gonna have to think of a robust way to write notes and repost them across the web because I have too many networks now lmao
Took me like 15 minutes of searching, but I finally learned how to center an iframe embed on my blog! 🎉

How often have you started reading a technical article on your phone, yet given up halfway through because you got tired of scrolling sideways through code blocks? If you have your own #blog, are you giving this same annoyance to your readers?
As indie #bloggers we have an advantage here over blog platforms, we may as well take full advantage of it.
good mornin! Would anyone like to be one of the first few people to send something into a sort of silly shared journal I crafted?
Got Verification here now via my Neocities blog! Took about a minute to do.

My Threads profile already had my domain since it was created from my Instagram profile.
View source on https://www.threads.net/@tantek and you can see the #relMe on a link tag:
<link rel="me" href="https://tantek.com/" />
Instructions to add yours:
* Add your domain to your Threads profile "Link" field. That’s it.
Longer explicit steps: https://indieweb.org/rel-me#Threads
Thanks especially to @timothychambers.net (@tchambers@indieweb.social, @timothyjchambers@threads.net) for requesting rel-me support² which one Threads engineer “decided to hack it together” one night!³
You can view Tim’s profile @tchambers@indieweb.social for a real world example of a Mastodon profile showing a green text ✅ verified link to a Threads profile.
Tim made several good points in his request:
“… a small, but disproportionately helpful addition would be to support this "rel=me" feature in your profiles. That could launch well before full ActivityPub, & show the first real integration to open social web standards”
Microformats (and IndieWeb) standards in general are deliberately designed as small, incremental building blocks which are disproportionately helpful as Tim says.
These small building blocks which directly enable user features are usually something a web developer can code at least some (often complete!) support for in one day/night which makes them particularly appealing as a way to rapidly support open #socialWeb standards used by the #fediverse and beyond.
Incrementally implementing microformats & IndieWeb standards⁴ also demonstrates good will and good intentions for supporting the #openWeb.

Non tanto diaria: sui perché e percome degli aggiornamenti del Wok. Ovvero, perché dovrei scrivere di piú sul Wok, o almeno riportarvi tutto quello che metto su #Mastodon
#Fediverso #PESOS #POSSE #Twitter #ikiwiki #indieWeb #microblogging
When starting my #programming #blog I couldn't find a guide that wasn't a recommendation for WordPress or full of affiliate links; here's my guide to help fix that: https://hackernoon.com/get-started-blogging-an-essential-guide-for-developers
Thanks to @hackernoon for featuring me on their home page; as a new blogger, it's great to know you can get visibility on your work without being completely beholden to algorithms!
When it comes to the #fediverse I'm more active on #Lemmy than #Mastodon because it fits more how I want to discover content and engage with it, it's more similar to old forums than to Twitter.
Last week was quite tourbulent with regards to defederation: https://fediversereport.com/last-week-in-the-fediverse-episode-31/
I'm all for every admin deciding what's best to de-federate from their server, but I really dislike that people are trying to influence other servers through shaming them for not de federating from the same servers as them.
That's the whole point of the fediverse so that I can decide myself who I want to engage with and who not, if every server has de federated from the same list of other servers what's the point of the fediverse?
I deeply enjoy the Fediverse and being part of the Indieweb with my website. Just joined another webring today. ☺️
And this evening I put together a blog post about finally enjoying the internet again: https://blog.kovah.de/en/2023/enjoying-internet-again-with-fediverse-indieweb/
