look, i think personal websites are fun and all, but it's not an answer that works for everyone re: current grim state of the web. some people just wanna share things without touching a line of code, and that's okay - it's easy and accessible by default. #indieweb

@rubymayvalentine I love it. Welcome to the fediverse! Plenty of us in the #IndieWeb sphere. Some super technical, some just wanting to own their own content. Check out https://indieweb.org as well!

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*.

#indieweb, #rss

I hit a major milestone with my blog this week.

For the first time ever, I got over 100 000 views in a month.

I can't comprehend the scale of that number.

#IndieWeb #blogging

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.

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

#IndieWeb

Took me like 15 minutes of searching, but I finally learned how to center an iframe embed on my blog! šŸŽ‰

Here it is:

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.

Threads.net now supports the #indieWeb #microformats #openStandard rel-me for distributed āœ… verification!¹ (supported since 2023-08-09)

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:
Ā <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, Ā @timothyjchambers@threads.net) for requesting rel-me support² which one Threads engineer ā€œdecided to hack it togetherā€ 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 āœ… verified link to a Threads profile.

Tim made several good points in his request:

ā€œā€¦ 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 standardsā€

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 standards⁓ also demonstrates good will and good intentions for supporting the #openWeb.
