We Don’t Need a New Twitter #twitter #socialmedia #indieweb https://www.luisquintanilla.me/feed/no-new-twitter-newport?utm_medium=feed
really sad: very few #indieweb #wordpress themes out there. need a lot of plugins but it's worth it.
Sometimes I feel like people consider a life without travel a lesser one. So I wrote this as a little bit of a dark side to all the rainbows and unicorn poop people hype up traveling to be. Hope you get something out of it, reader!

Most users tend to pick a side of things, but recently I chose option 3: write it on my website then syndicate it like a weirdo lmao
I do this because I believe in connecting not so much to the social network platform, but to the people themselves. The social graph is more important than what or where it is.
Incidents with Twitter and Reddit have demonstrated how users are driven away, so I make a conscious effort to stay connected with the friendships I’ve made across the networks that I believe in (or at least don’t actively hate). This way everyone knows where to find me if one day either network collapses, or if a new one appears that people really want to flock to.

I could probably use a source of income. If anyone has job leads on things like:
• Sound design
• Music composition
• Video editing
• Software engineering (C++ and Python in particular, especially for #IndieWeb type stuff)
I'd greatly appreciate it.
I have a resume available at https://beesbuzz.biz/resume and of course you can see my website for creative outputs and so on.
Topics Now On My Neocities Site

What I’m learning from writing notes and syndicating it to social networks is that because it takes a bunch more time to do, I’ve found myself writing longer and longer notes.
Here’s what this process currently looks like:
- I compose a new note on my website with whatever I want to post, and save it. This includes:
- The title
- If I’m replying to someone, link to the post I’m responding to
- The content
- Images if needed
- Tags
- I create a shortlink that can be shared on the social network.
- A title (this is internal to the CMS and only for organisation)
- Link to the note
- A URL slug
- I syndicate the post across to the social networks I want, including the backlink to my published note on my site
- For ActivityPub, I can copy the content across with minimal changes since I have an extremely high character limit, and it supports Markdown so it’s usually one and done.
- For others with a character limit (like bsky), I copy as much of the content as I can, including tags, then truncate the rest with the link back to the original.
- I then edit my note to link to all the syndicated copies.
So yes, it’s a lot of work but it seems that by doing that I force myself to think a bit more before I write or reply to a post, which is better for those kinds of things.
At other times I just wanna write a quick reply so it’s less good at doing that lmao

If I ever do “roll out” https://www.indie.lol, it’s going to be fairly minimal and block-based, and … well, it’s all there:
1. Sites support IndieAuth and Micropub—and, thus, posting from Micropub apps.
2. There are plans to eventually add ActivityPub. And Markdown support. And a built-in feed reader. And (optional) cross-posting to Mastodon.
3. Use of a custom domain is highly encouraged!
It’d be WordPress + a minimal but customizable block theme + very few plugins, YET #IndieWeb-ready
Hi #fediverse and #indieweb - is there a #microformats #activityPub (maybe via #rss?) bridge of some kind to push content to mastodon? Any link or advice that would work for https://hroy.eu/blog/ (not WordPress)?
I'm not sure I want to go all the way with Indieweb as it seems exponentially more complicated unless you are an experienced webdev or the theme you use supports it out of the box but I will tinker and see how far I get.

@benpate @YurkshireLad I agree, and I can't personally decide how I feel about it. On the one hand, the way I see the #indieweb, it's trying to revive the vibrancy of the early internet, which was built on homespun websites that people owned and actively experimented on. The ol' thousand flowers blooming model of invention and creativity. People collectively find what works and then share those ideas.
But, as you say, that makes it much harder to bring in newcomers.
@benpate @YurkshireLad Oh, the #indieweb is pretty anarchic but that's by design. From https://indieweb.org/different
"We focus on UX first, and then as we figure that out we re-use/subset/implement/iterate/develop the absolutely simplest most minimal formats & protocols necessary to support that UX."
ActivityPub is tops, for all it’s flaws.
Skip #Nostr, too. It’s web3 cryptobros all the way down.
#Scuttlebutt seems interesting, but I haven’t done a deep dive.
I am a fan of #RSS and #WebSub, which give you many #ActivityPub features (except comments) for 5% of the hassle. You could say the same for #IndieWeb APIs, like #WebMentions and #MicroFormats, which are awesome, but the community seems even less organized than the ActivityPub community (if that’s possible)
I've added a custom `:code-license` header to Org mode source blocks [1], heritable across subtrees. This lets me share trivial config under CC0, while declaring and complying with stronger licenses elsewhere. Technique based on @sachac's custom `:summary` header [2].

Verified my website https://czepeda.com! That blessed checkmark! #indieweb 🤷🏻♂️
Kris Nova joins Bryan, Adam, and the Oxide Friends to talk about Mastodon. Kris runs Hachyderm, a Mastodon server. She shares her experience with Mastodon and the Fediverse.
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
