šŸ“ Post Update! I add a few paragraphs about Webmentions and how I think (if you can configure them properly) they are one of the true wonders of the modern web enabling website-to-website communication šŸ”„

Finally got my personal site redeveloped after losing my old one (don’t ask…). Decided to go with @astro and have been really enjoying the developer experience. You can find me at https://www.cwdegidio.com. My rss feed is available at https://www.cwdegidio.com/rss.xml.

Ā "The human web, the one made by regular people, is resurgent. We are about to see the biggest reshuffling of power on the internet in 25 years, in a way that most of the internet’s current users have never seen before"

RFC 9518: Centralization, Decentralization, and Internet Standards by @mnot

"This document discusses aspects of centralization that relate to Internet standards efforts. It argues that, while standards bodies have a limited ability to prevent many forms of centralization, they can still make contributions that assist in the decentralization of the Internet."

No not that web. The real web.

–> The reason I keep on keeping-on with my blog experiment is summed up in a tidy 5 minute read care of Mr Knight (who has a serial habit of being able to organize #indieweb topics and post them in a way I would dearly love to articulate myself, but am happy to reblog, boost and propagate when I can’t say it better āœŒšŸ¾)

The Web is Fantastic (robb knight.)

I’m not talking about the web as a whole, I’m talking about the open web. The come-do-cool-things-with-our-api web. The open standards web. The indie web.

From "Blogging is where it's at, again":

"[...] I’ve always believed the blog is the ā€œnatural formā€ of posting on the web: a site of your own, that you control and set your own rules on content and discussion; where you can post whatever you like without worrying about ā€œThe Algorithmā€."

The post also mentions a cool OPML feature I wasn't aware of.

Love that folks are realizing that the #web is for you and me, not a resource to be harvested and packaged up to the highest bidder. #indieweb

#IndieWeb folks, what say you of #ProjectGemini : https://hackaday.com/2023/12/29/the-gopher-revival-is-upon-us/

Generally speaking, anything that moves us towards #indieweb or #simpleweb is good in my book.

@gavinanderegg @robb you're both very welcome at chat.indieweb.org if you want to join in with the #indieweb ongoing chat and regular meetups. We have a special #dev channel for builders too

Given my support for the #indieweb, personal websites and self hosting, you might wonder why I don’t have my own site there.

And the answer is twofold:

1. Almost anything valuable I do or say online can fall under the Gaming Reinvented umbrella, so I see no reason to post it on a personal account.

2. I’m very much someone who doesn’t like my name and ā€˜real life’ identity to be too well known online, and most personal sites revolve around those identities by default.

I'm very interested in #openweb and #indieweb movements.

Optimistic takes on a more decentralized web seem to be more frequent lately, though very often read as "return to the good ol' days," like this article.

I do love the coined term "poor man's web."
