Community Guidelines for Kottke.org

I like Jason’s guidelines—very in keeping with The Session’s house rules.

And I really like his motivation for trying out comments:

The timing feels right. Twitter has imploded and social sites/services like Threads, Bluesky, and Mastodon are jockeying to replace it (for various definitions of “replace”). People are re-thinking what they want out of social media on the internet and I believe there’s an opportunity for sites like kottke.org to provide a different and perhaps even better experience for sharing and discussing information. Shit, maybe I’m wrong but it’s definitely worth a try.

As I said in my comment:

Yes! More experiments like this please! Experiments that aren’t just “let’s clone Twitter”.

My misadventures with ActivityPub continues!

So, this morning I posted a blog post on DramaTea, my blog for CDramas and Kdramas.

In a weird twist, my older posts are now appearing in the Fediverse version of the DramaTea blog and my new post is not appearing 😂 And even more mysteriously, my brid.gy integration which has never worked before started to work! Haha! What’s going on?

What can I say? The wordpress.com and Activitypub integration with the Fediverse is still a little rough around the edges.

Comments are also not reliably appearing either. I’ve posted a query on WordPress.com’s support forums, and it’s so far crickets!

Looks like I am not moving away from brid.gy anytime soon. Hope it improves and the team doesn’t ignore the problem.

Let’s see if this post appears on @elizabethtai.com

Implemented liking/favoriting of #Mastodon posts via Bridgy Fed on my site! (Actually of any post on any site that #BridgyFed can discover an #ActivityPub endpoint to send likes to.)

Tested it by liking @evanp.me (@evan@cosocial.ca @evanpro)’s reply¹ confirming that he received a notification from my prior post². I sent a #Webmention from my like post³ to Bridgy Fed, and it #federated the like to Evan’s server, which subsequently showed up in the "favourites" list of Evan’s post:

https://cosocial.ca/@evan/111237962392745000/favourites

Every step that connects heterogenous #socialWeb systems & protocols feels like progress.

I really enjoy the ideas behind #IndieWeb and want to actively plan on being a part of it and bringing my sites and work into the fold. Putting this here for accountability :)

No matter how the other platforms sort out, I'm sticking around #Mastodon and the #Fediverse. The conversations here are unique and I've had some of my best gaming chats this year here. Also expanding into the #IndieWeb. Federation is a fantastic thing.

Decided to stop waiting for this to be "done" and just post it.

Bridgy Fed (#BridgyFed) recently added support for federating @-@-mentions to #Mastodon: https://fed.brid.gy/docs#mention

So here’s a test:

Happy birthday @evanp.me (@evan@cosocial.ca @evanpro)!!!


Let’s see if Evan receives one or more notifications of these mentions, especially on cosocial, directly from my blog to his Mastodon account.


Previous related posts on how to @-mention across the #IndieWeb, #fediverse, and silos:
* https://tantek.com/2023/014/t4/domain-first-federated-atmention
* https://tantek.com/2023/017/t1/socialweb-blogs-reply-comment-post

* https://tantek.com/2023/019/t5/reply-domain-above-address-and-silo
which is enough material on the subject to be worth a broader overall blog post on at-mentions, @-mentions, @-@-mentions, how to write them, how to send #Webmentions or #federate them, and perhaps how to recognize & send notifications for them.
