Important piece for all of us on the #Fediverse and #IndieWeb by @moira
“If you want distributed social to be a thing, if you want not to be a hostage of the latest billionaire to buy out your platform and turn your beloved hellsite into a fascist disinformation fountain and propaganda machine, you have to care about large-account followers, because they have to want to be here too.”

Y’all we shouldn’t judge people for liking something popular. Or punish for success.

Think it's time I look into web mentions for my blog. Anyone have anything to say about that?? #indieweb #11ty

Itch scratchin’: plumbing is (mostly) finished 🛠

The site is looking good actually, and for once I’m pleased with how it works and feels. So now that the plumbing and skeleton is done, let’s continue on the #indieweb journey a bit.

Things I need to do on the site today:

🔌 Add a few more plug ins for quality of life, especially after seeing this list 👉🏾 Check out Nick Simson’s Plugin Inventory for some inspiration.

🧹 I’ll also clean up the layouts some and get the CSS tightened up as well too.

💬 As always, if anyone out there has any suggestions or questions about all this, reply/webmention/toot/skeet/yell on all the appropriate channels.

This is my WordPress powered social hub and sometimes-second-brain. It follows “indieweb” conventions like POSSE and is fully ActivityPub compatible, meaning it talks to Mastodon, Micro.Blog and other connected similar sites.

Do you want to get away from using icon fonts? I did.

I wrote a post (and a few pens on CodePen) showing three different ways to use emojis and custom “emoji-like” images as list markers.

Continued #Introduction

I am an admin and co-owner of tech.lgbt, which I started in April 2017 as an extension of my interest in the #IndieWeb and owning your own spaces online. I’m grateful and thankful that so many people have found this as their home on the fediverse, now or in the past.

If you have any questions about the instance, please message @mods or email mods@tech.lgbt, so that our full mod team can respond. I’m not the sole decision maker here, so I just don’t want folks to tag me alone! Our mod team is amazing and does great work that deserves to be praised :bowie_heart:

Having been around the fediverse for so long, I’ve seen a lot of discourse come, go, and come again. I will generally focus on maintaining and moderating the instance and using this as a personal account. Commenting or not commenting on any #meta here is not reflective of the instance as a whole.

Above all, I try to be kind, welcoming, and patient here, and encourage you to do the same :bowie_heart:

Want get started with (or restart) your personal website? I‘m writing a #newsletter about that. 🤗

Today I got a basic #webring working to connect my website with the sites of a couple of my art friends!

After I work out the look of the widget, I'd like to make a few connecting sites with similar content. Right now I'm thinking one for #scifi art & maybe #worldbuilding projects. If you're interested in joining one of these, let me know!

Removed custom shortlinks from my likes and listens and now only generate them for notes, articles, and pages.

And got rid of a whole lot of broken links.

Should be done with this today.

🤘 New episode of Changelog & Friends!

@jerod goes one-on-one with our old friend @searls!

We talk build vs buy decisions, dependency selection & how Justin has implemented POSSE (Post On Site Syndicate Elsewhere) in response to the stratification of social networks.

"Redesigning your personal website is one of life’s great pleasures." says @chriscoyier in the newest People & Blogs interview.

I so agree. It's fun to have your own space where you make all the decisions and don't have to only do things for the bottom line.

Good news from Bluesky that a public web interface is coming this month. They’ve had a “staging” web app, but it required signing in. Also:

As a reminder, Bluesky is a public social network, so your posts, likes, etc. have always been publicly accessible through the API. We designed Bluesky with the openness of the internet in mind, and you can think of your profile as a blog on the internet.

In the future, it will be easier to have actual blogs that seamlessly act as ActivityPub and AT Protocol profiles. We’re halfway there with Micro.blog already.

BUILDING OUR OWN NETWORKS.
New workshop klaxon: I'll be in #Bristol celebrating #TransPride on the 25th, and running a workshop on DIY radio, #indieweb and alternative #networks.

Watch this space for an online zine that will be published afterwards. 📻 🛰️ 🌐 🌷

Uncertain future for Tumblr

I'm going through Broken Pencil (a Canadian #magazine about #zines and weird print) and they recc'd Prehistoric Times, an indie magazine about #dinosaurs. The website looks like something out of the 90s and a year subscription is $40USD. I'm so tempted. #zine #dinosaur #smolweb #indieweb
