Bluesky has added another million users this week, bringing the total to over 4 million. By comparison, the ActivityPub-based fediverse has about 10 million users according to FediDB. The situation will change when Threads is added, but if Bluesky keeps growing it’s worth asking how they’ve done it.

I'm glad this piece of history was archived to look back and wonder what the hell happened. The writing was on the wall. https://youtu.be/FeeCKGYAenA?si=kIUJ2jVCGDfKM5J3

Another article on the modern era of blogging surfaced on my RSS feed today.

Jim Nielsen boldly proposes that we live a new golden era of blogging.

I don't know. We modern bloggers inhabit a tiny self-indulging bubble that is not comparable with the original scene, but you know what, I feel comfortable in it.

@matthiasott Yep! Not only do I have an #RSS feed, I actually have *two*! One for my regular feed of posts and another for my "notes" (short-form stuff).

- Posts feed: https://shellsharks.com/feed.xml
- Notes feed: https://shellsharks.com/note-feed.xml

I love threads like this one because it just gives me an endless list of #RSS feeds to try! Of course, mine us https://robertkingett.com/feed/ #OwnYourWeb #IndieWeb @matthiasott

@swarming whatever you end up with I suggest to walk down the #IndieWeb path.

Here the platform|software does not matter [much] as it's built around principles to stay in control of your content. Starting with your own domain.

Learn more on https://indieweb.org/ and https://indieweb.org/principles

It's your choice how deep the rabbit hole goes but the own domain is important.

This should ease your next escape.

The History of the Web has an interesting take on the resurgence of blogging and the indie web that seems to be occurring these days

#indieweb #blogging

Thinking about how best to present various form of content on my personal website.

Currently, I create posts (long-ish) and notes (short, but mostly links). Wondering if I should split links into a distinct post type, and keep notes as «clean» short posts.

Also, current front page doesn’t do it. Messy. Some people do a unified feed for all post types on the front page, but I’m not convinced about that either. Requires much mental sorting to make out what’s what.

Ideas? #indieweb
