Very useful practical guide to applying microformats2 to websites/blogs by @anniegreens

I don’t think the watch-of property has to be geared towards internet videos. The URL can be the video you’re actually watching, like on YouTube, or something that represents what you watched, like Wikipedia. That link doesn’t need to be canonical, either. For example, a corollary with my event posts (example) is that I link the location to a venue page on my site where I publish the venue information with an h-card.
If there is no meaningful URL to link to, it’s possible to use p-watch-of instead and just mark up the title. In either case, I think the title of what was watched will be the most important for consumers, at least initially. Getting into categorizing (movies, TV, YouTube, etc.) and uniquely identifying titles would be more complex. That complexity might also be part of why we haven’t seen aggregators yet.
Threads launching in the EU next week. My earlier theory was they were waiting for ActivityPub (and so better account portability) before going live. Guess I was wrong.
So @neilhimself's"radical" vision for the future of the internet looks a lot like the past of the internet. I'd be down for that...

@silverpill @pfefferle @daj This looks like a fantastic feature for the Fediverse. It’s like a middle ground between huge servers like mastodon.social and the single-user instances of the #IndieWeb.
Stuff like this is the future of the Fediverse.
@silverpill @daj oh thanks a lot! nice that there is already progress!
...and @manton and @snarfed.org already commented!
Go go #IndieWeb 😍
I'm so happy to see that #kurzgesagt, with its outreach of >20 M subscribers, released a video about how we should get back to #blogging, #forums and other small online communities to counteract the bad effects of #SocialMedia
Just did a little update to my site! Fixed the css for mobile use and added a guestbook :)

I think it's very telling that pretty much all of my (albeit limited) #javascripting experience comes from me writing my own #userscripts to fix annoyances/issues with the web.

Personal sites—and, more broadly, our digital lives—are a mirror of who we are. Some of us will try to neatly organize everything under one hyper-curated digital roof while others will scatter things around on 12 different domains and 24 services. Some will design a site for themselves and not touch it again for a decade while others will feel the need to redesign every 6 months. Those are all right answers to a question that doesn’t have wrong answers.
I just pushed up the first version of my Likes plugin for WordPress that manages all the.... 🥁
...likes on my site.
I've been using it for just over 2 years now and finally broke it out of my mu-plugins. #indieweb https://github.com/jeremyfelt/likes https://jeremyfelt.com/liked/
