@evan @anildash @potch @KevinMarks @lmorchard prior art in the #IndieWeb stack similar to the "push cannon" Anil mentioned: https://indieweb.org/static_site#Sending_Webmentions

Impressive to see the person behind #Bridgy somehow deciding that "opt-out" could somehow be a good approach to anything involving the Fediverse (https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/835)…

…and thereby eroding any interest I had in using bridgy for #Webmentions on my #IndieWeb site.

First rule is always: do no harm. Evading consent is doing harm, no matter how many pixels you want to devote to "network effects."

Good interview at Platformer with Eugen Rochko. Some of his thoughts on AT Protocol:

My hope still is that — fingers crossed — when Meta starts federating with Mastodon that the critical mass will be large enough that Bluesky developers will just say, okay, fine. Maybe that W3C approved standard protocol is the way to go instead of making our own custom stuff. Even if it doesn’t happen out the gate, maybe it will still start making sense for them someday.

Because Threads is opt-in for the fediverse and Bluesky keeps growing, ActivityPub might not end up dwarfing AT Proto the way we expected.

Discovered this cool post --> https://lu.is/2024/01/after-twitter/ <-- from @luis_in_brief while exploring @molly0xfff 's drop-your-blog thread (https://hachyderm.io/@molly0xfff/111908294962007998). It has some great tips for those still orienting themselves with the Fediverse. Check it out!

@accordionpolar Absolutely agree, having a good and welcoming group of people always helps. And the people in the #indieweb IRC channels seem very pleasant. It takes a lot of that "n00b" fear away.

I felt the same way about Discord, too, until I found the right group. Now I run a small private server and I take care to be very welcoming and friendly to new people, especially if they're new to Discord.

Off topic - I could watch your avatar spin all day, it's very soothing. :D

Into the Great Wide Open

Out and about in indie-blogging this week, the always interesting (check the keyboard posts!) bsag is experimenting with webmentions, and has a method of caching mentions locally that takes me way back to my own first implementation. Indieweb rules!

Here's a rough overview about toots to a certain day's or month's challenge or prompt:

( @strangeseawolf, I hope, you don't mind being taken as an example 😉 )

Left: With "base instance" setting filled (using https://mastodon.online/share directly)
Right: Without "base instance" setting filled (using https://sharetomastodon.github.io/ to choose the instance outside the tool)

This would be a few settings, you could configure. It would be all stored locally in your browser and would never leave your computer

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).

@robb

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.
