The Threads team is exploring a content publishing API I’ve replied to encourage them to consider adopting #micropub rather than defining their own unique API. They’ve committed to support ActivityPub so if they’re serious about the open web then Micropub should also be considered.

From what I was able to gather from https://brid.gy

* #BlueSky #federation through the #ATprotocol will be enabled sometime in early 2024

* The #IndieWeb service #Bridgy is ready to handle bridge AT protocol and ActivityPub protocol posts and replies once federation is enabled in production (already working in sandbox test server).

The format will be:
1. To follow a #Fediverse account from BlueSky / AT protocol: <username>.<server_domain>.ap.brid.gy

Example: @youronlyone.c.im.ap.brid.gy

2. To follow a BlueSky / AT protocol user: <username>@atproto.brid.gy

Example: @atp.youronly.one@atproto.brid.gy

This allows users from each side to see new posts and to reply to these threads.

What is more interesting is that, if you have IndieWeb support on your website or blog, you will see comments from BlueSky / AT protocol appear as a comment, thanks to #Webmention. It is already possible to do this with Fediverse / ActivityPub. ^_~

A cohesive and unified identity for IndieWeb protocols · Paul Robert Lloyd

I really enjoyed hanging out with Paul at Indie Web Camp in Nuremberg last weekend. And I like the iconography he’s proposing:

This design attempts to bring together a set of icons that share the concept of a node – a line and a point – and use this to add counters to each letter shape.

Updated my neocities site CSS last night to cut out all purples and adjust remaining color scheme. More tweaks here and there. Still planning to restructure, simplify overall. Less JS. More HTML.

The border:none conference was in Germany last week followed by an IndieWebCamp event, so several indieweb people were there. In the chat, the amount of current Covid cases was brought up and a mention of how few were masked in a crowd of about 200.

My heart sank — a feeling I’m unfortunately getting more and more used to. I commented “in-person conferences may just be a thing of the past for me at this rate 🫠.” I followed that with an explanation that it’s the psychological and emotional weight of being in spaces like that. I have to psych myself up. It feels really isolating; the “alone in a crowded room” feeling.

Tantek helpfully tried to put a positive frame on it as “an interesting exercise in independence and not bowing to implied / perceived social pressure” and the idea that it can help train us to be independent thinkers. I’ve been thinking on that for a bit now. I think there is some truth to that, but I also feel pretty well-trained in that regard after almost 4 years of this.

For me, it’s important to remember that the context of this training is the nearly unmitigated spread of a virus with long-term health impacts. That’s a big part of the psychological weight. I can’t emphasize enough how important community care has become to me. It’s not just my health that I’m concerned about when I’m in a crowd. Looking around and seeing that the majority are not taking basic precautions (for whatever reason) really weighs on me. We know these precautions make everyone safer, but so many people have bought into the hyper-individualism of the moment.

I love the work that Clean Air Club is doing in Chicago, crowdfunding and trying to make concerts safer by providing free air purifiers. They posted a reel recently that I think explains the importance of being proactive in prioritizing Covid safety and accessibility. Here is a transcript of the audio (emphasis mine):

Going to shows the past few years, it seems like nobody is masking anymore. But the reality is that Covid cautious people are being pushed out of these spaces. There’s a selection bias at crowded events. If you do attend and choose to mask, you feel like the only one. But you’re not.

This is a classic paradox of inaccessibility. Because a space is inaccessible to Covid cautious people, they aren’t able to join. But because they aren’t able to join, it appears that there is no demand for Covid cautious spaces. It’s feedback loop that entrenches ableism in our music scene. Artists, event hosts, and venues most of all have an obligation to interrupt this loop.

Prioritize Covid safety.

— Clean Air Club,

This has me mulling over what policies I will promote if/when I’m in a position to organize in-person events again, as well as what I will request/encourage other event organizers to implement. I hope to write more on that soon.

New blog post: “Weekly Bookmarks 3: IndieWebCamp Edition”

https://blog.kizu.dev/weekly-bookmarks-003/

Slightly late, all due to me being very tired after the conference and the #IndieWebCamp event.

Gathered links related to some of the sessions I participate in (“Building Block Icons”, “Link Rot” and “How to stop rewriting your site and write more”)

(no CSS bookmarks this time; they would go into the next weekly)

@feditips Shame that for us POSSE #indieweb folks syndicating to multiple destinations, we still have to assume the worst. I personally just built my own basic link shortener so I could syndicate to silos that handle links poorly while preserving reader privacy.
