build a world, not an audience — kening zhu

I didn’t want to play the game of striving to be seen.

I just wanted to be.

#introduction hey fellow #omglol friends!

I'll keep this short since it's late and my brain is on low battery.

I'm Jason. Today is my first day on the #sociallol server. I'm happy to be here.

I'm a freelance writer and web developer in Atlanta and Orlando.

Lately, I've been into exploring the #indieweb, #smallweb, and #oldweb.

I made a custom site a few months back, and continue to tinker with it. I added omg.lol just last night!

Free free to reach out, I'd love to meet ya. ✌️

Someone asked me for direction with their first personal project webapp. The first project of this type is way too hard in many cases because plenty of behaviors that seem simple require not just some static HTML and JavaScript, but a publicly addressable server.

I recorded the main options as I see them: https://epw.github.io/servers.html

I hope that at some point this gets better. I also couldn't stop myself from writing a similar page for logins, where things are worse.

I’ve really loved writing for and building my blog over the years, making it uniquely mine. I highly encourage *everyone* to have an Internet “home” of their own and even better, to publish their own writing/thoughts there! A few years ago I wrote about why I blog and why you should too!

Novo post no meu novo blog onde estou escrevendo sobre como iniciar sua presença na web. Hoje escrevo sobre a importância de se ter uma identidade. https://antonioaugusto.net/2023/12/10/escolhendo-a-sua-identidade-na-web/ #blogging #web #indieweb #openweb

@fromjason the #indieweb needs to be slightly more unhinged, and that is a service I can provide

The cross-posting service @bufferapp is an incredibly useful platform for scheduling posts and posting the same content to multiple places. It is close to the #indieweb goal POSSE: "post own site, syndicate everywhere."

Speaking of the future of the internet, here's a common refrain that Manuel Moreale has been hearing from folks who are trying to invent that future:

> For blogging to form communities (again'-ish), we're going to need new protocols. I don't think HTTP is the future for growth.

Manuel strongly disagrees.

"Internet, I think we need a break."
"I'm sorry, Internet. It's over."

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.
