So I joined the #indieweb IRC channel and GOD why does it take so damn long for me to get used to using #IRC whenever I use it? I can never remember commands even though I was using this stuff for YEARS back in the day. And I always feel like such a newbie when I get on IRC.

I don't know why I am so intimidated about it, it just seems like some side of the internet that I was not supposed to be on (which is just my imposter syndrome talking, I know).

Me: greatly appreciating this thoughtful discourse on #IndieWeb privacy considerations

Also Me: relieved to maybe have a reason* to remove at least one technical roadblock to ever making my #PersonalWebsite

*other than my complete & utter ineptitude 🙃

@jefklak

I made a new thing. It's like a now page on steroids. #IndieWeb

Another #IndieWeb brain fart:

Your blogroll is a list of Vouch candidates for your #Webmention-sending code.

https://indieweb.org/Vouch

A related #IndieWeb and #Webmention riff:

Add #IndieAuth to your website and allow others to sign in. They’d be able to view a dashboard of the content they’d posted that made its way onto your website. Maybe add some lightweight self-service moderation controls?

Dipping my toe into The #IndieWeb Discourse…

Nothing dictates that receiving a Webmention means you’re bound to display its source content on your website.

You could…

• forward the Webmention to your email,
• build a private notifications dashboard (with or without a moderation queue),
• add a link to the source page to your website without including its content,
• do something wild like set up an auto responder to the original author thanking them for the like/boost/reply,
• etc. etc. etc.

Adding comments / Webmentions to Cybercultural is on my to-do list, but seems like some in the 11ty community are thinking about ditching them. I personally like the implementation in Robb’s site (check his blog to see), and it’s a great discovery mechanism for readers — like trackback used to be. Wonder if any #IndieWeb folks have thoughts? https://social.lol/@robb/111911781340890722

Phishing Mitigation for Mastodon.social

All this sudden attention to the fact that social media replies (loosely defined as #Webmentions) to your blog posts are likely coming from people who have utterly no clue that they are also being published on your blogs, where were you last month when the push from some of the #IndieWeb to "#ActivityPub everything" was being questioned. 😉

More seriously: welcome to the debate.

Testing Bridgy publishing, crossposting and all that #indieweb #fediverse goodness with this post.
(Does Bridgy support “+” tagging @snarfed.org?)

Woo, finally got automatic posting from my site to Mastodon going (POSSE)!

Frankly, I probably should have just used https://webmention.app, but I wanted to try without adding yet another tool (even a *very nice* tool).

I'll probably write this up later... #indieweb

For all the WordPress geeks out there. This little nifty plugin lets you display blocks conditionally referencing the WP conditional tags directly in the block editor.

Very handy!

@keenan @robb Yes do a podcast about the #indieweb!

Been sitting at home all morning and making some final tweaks and adjustments on the back end of the site. I kept having PHP errors and updates were giving me issues and I could NOT understand why. I got them working, though, and adjusted the layout and design! Feeling very accomplished. #indieweb #wordpress
