Obviously, I'm approaching bridging from an #IndieWeb angle, and a belief that people should have the ability to move their data around the web without losing their networks in the process. I **like** the idea of interoperability, and that's one of the key benefits of the Fediverse in my mind. In the same way that #RSS enables people to access posts on these services, I'd like that to apply to the social interactions as well.
Perhaps there is a way to make that opt-in versus opt-out...
How Machines Took Over the Internet, and Why We Need to Take It Back!: AI makes things worse because now we have machines generating SEO-friendly articles to talk to machines. The cycle is complete—machines talking to machines. What we need is people talking to people, discussions, the web as the big enabler. We need more human curators instead of automated curators. Astute observation from Maho. Machines…

I will spend an hour or so catching up on articles I've saved or left open in tabs.
I'll be bookmarking the ones I find interesting to my website, you can follow along with the feed, https://flamedfury.com/bookmarks-feed.xml, it'll refresh sporadically!
@homegrown @mastodonmigration Brid.gy is a popular #indieweb syndicator. YOU SHOULD NOT DEFEDERATE IT, as the IndieWeb has stronger ethical values regarding bigtech than the fediverse. The main purpose of the website is to syndicate content from a website to both Mastodon and Bsky.
@janboddez I just came across this post, and wanted to chime in that I've been thinking about the exact same concept. Plug and play with full #indieweb compatibility. I think there's a market for it in the current climate!
@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!

Slowly working on a couple of posts for the Shrediverse blog that I'm excited to share with everyone.
Coming soon to https://blog.shrediverse.net.
1st PR submitted to Known!
We’re implementing ActivityPub in this great light-weight indieweb publishing engine
Indieseek.xyz Indie Web Directory
Indieseek.xyz is a small human curated, searchable, directory of web links to both websites and to individual web pages.
@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
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:
