micro.blogについてのテキスト

以前ねじまきブログで紹介したmicro.blogというサービス。

開発者のManton Reece氏が書いたインディーマイクロブログについての説明書かつ思想書的な文章である「Indie Microblogging」がなかなか興味深かったので軽く読んでみた。
https://book.micro.blog/

印象に残った部分を箇条書きで:

“The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do.”
— Thomas Jefferson

という引用から始まっているのがアツい。

  • 独自ドメインを使っての発信が前提 (Part1)
  • 個人のドメイン名でブログを書くことは、Web の将来への一種の投資である
  • WordPressとTumblrについて
  • マイクロブログの投稿にタイトルをつける必要ない
  • 独自ドメインを使用する人が増えれば、必然的に Web の分散性も高まる
  • 最高のブロガーは、まず自分自身のために投稿する。
    何かを書くという行為だけで自分の考えが明確になるため、またはそれを共有することに気分が良いからです。しかし、2人がそれを見るか、100人が見るかは二の次です。
  • ブログへのコメントは、ブログの文章自体と同じぐらい重要
  • テクノロジーは世界を良くも悪くもする力でもない。
  • 偶然、またはほとんど注意せずに開発されたアルゴリズムは、間違いなく道を誤る。なので気をつけなければならない

 

インディーマイクロブログを定義するものとしてこの4つが挙げられていたり。

  • Better features. Learning from the user interface innovations of social networks — both the good choices and what we can do better.
  • Open standards. How the work of the IndieWeb and even older blogging APIs can improve interoperability and freedom on the web.
  • Content ownership. Why nearly everything starts with personal domain names.
  • Smaller social networks. The technical overview of Micro.blog, Mastodon, and pushback against massive social networks.

 

紹介されていたこの文章もかなり印象の残った。

「必要なウェブを選択するのはあなたです。」 —ブレント・シモンズ

 

The Internet may work better when it’s spread out, as originally designed.

 

フィードに関する箇所も面白かったし、
レベッカ・ブラッド著の『ウェブログ・ハンドブック』にも言及があったりして面白かった。

わりとボリューム多めなエッセイ集だけど、
インターネットに触れる人全員に読んで欲しい文章だなと。

Om Malikの言葉も最後に。

「だからこそ、インターネット上に自分だけの小さな場所が必要なのだ。」
そうしないと、いつも他人の土地を耕すことになる。」

For this month's Indie Web Carnival, I wrote about my anonymous, asynchronous friendships I've built with people in the Internet.

Many of my best friends I've become friends with online and some of them I have never met or seen, despite us having been friends for more than a decade.

I really like personal homepages and have quite a list of them bookmarked. I'll post one every week until I don't. So here's Cool Personal Homepages #CPH Vol. 4: Mycophobia's Web Site https://mycophobia.org/

Just jumped off the default server, and am liking it here more already!

I'm a Product Designer focusing on being more active on my blog, usually posting about tech, design, and whatever else comes to mind.

Here's in an depth guide on how I used automation to grow an Instagram account to 100k+ while ignoring it completely.

One of my goals this years is to blog more, which has made me think about the process of choosing what to write about.

I'm trying to keep it simple, so this framework of writing about Technology, Stories and Thoughts should be able to capture everything.

Today was a good day. I wrote two blog posts (one for #IndieWeb carnival and one as an invited guest writer) and rewrote two messy scripts to be more like CLI tools with proper interface and better documentation.

When considering modern web development, I keep these two images in mind.

The factory image captures how many devs approach creating websites: constructing an enormous, gleaming, automated system that can produce complex artifacts on a massive scale.

In contrast, an individual artisan working in a studio directly creates something simple but useful using their own hands and understandable tools. To me this second image captures the #smallweb / #indieweb spirit.

@zef Perplexity is good and getting better fast. I'm still preferring Kagi though, for more and slightly more relevant results; and for their focus on prioritizing #smallweb and #indieweb sites.

Didn’t realize until reading this blog post from the Fediverse Report that much of the new migration to Bluesky is from Japan. Seems significant as Twitter X was always popular in Japan.

I should update my post on #indieweb and using Cloudron for my VPS. I’m getting closer to a situation where all the cloud software I need is on my own server.

Really enjoying the new app Outline for drafting documents, collaborating on documents and making them available for external review. It has replaced my bit.ai subscription. Will be used a lot for allowing clients to review and give feedback on reports.

cal.com has replaced my Calendly subscription.

I’m using Baserow instead of Airtable.

And of course, I’m running about six Ghost installations for different projects.

If all fares well with MiroTalk, that will replace any online meeting platforms I’m paying for (Whereby at the moment).

Nextcloud is in line to replace Dropbox.

If I need to sketch interfaces I’ve got Penpot.

I’m using Umami for web stats but that’s been going on for a long time now.

Not sure I’ll want to replace Harvest, but there is the possibility of Invoice Ninja.

Anyway, there is so much satisfaction in hosting my own services rather than relying on corporate big tech versions of the similar software.

Decided to join this month's Indieweb Carnival and post about Digital Relationships. Thanks to Manu for hosting this month's theme!

Quick Q about Bridgy for the #indieweb community: Can I use Bridgy to monitor “the fediverse” (or just a single Mastodon instance?) for mentions/interactions of my blog posts, and feed it as webmentions to my WP blog?

I’m a little confused about the functionality and options, given I’m already using the ActivityPub plugin to federate my content.

Thanks to @adele ¹, I finally found the perfect minamilist #hugo theme ² to use as a base for a new custom theme!

Too bad I found it right after I edited my all theme for the #indieweb microformat 2 weeks ago…
Guess, I'm making a minimal #indieweb ready version of the smol hugo theme now :]
