        "text": "A couple of days ago in an informal discussion in the #indieweb chat channel about how different people view #Mastodon, the #fediverse, or #Bluesky, and services like #Bridgy & #BridgyFed quite differently, I noted\u00b9 that one big unspoken difference was how things on the web last over time, from the traditional persistent web, vs the newer and growing ephemeral web.\n\nThere is the publicly viewable #OpenWeb that many of us take for granted, meaning the web that is persistent, that lasts over time, and thanks to being #curlable, that the Internet Archive archives, and that a plurality of search engines see and index (robots.txt allowing). The HTML + CSS + media files declarative web.\n\nThen there are the https APIs that return JSON \"web\", the thing that I\u2019ve started calling the ephemeral web, the set of things that are here today, briefly, gone tomorrow. I\u2019ve previously used the more provocative phrase js;dr (JavaScript required, Didn\u2019t Read) for this #ephemeralWeb, yet like many things, it turns out there is a spectrum from ephemeral to persistent.\n\n\nOne popular example on that spectrum that\u2019s closer to the ephemeral edge is anything on a Mastodon server running v4 (or later as of this writing) of the software. (I\u2019m not bothering to discuss the examples of walled garden social media silos because I expect we will continue to see their demise\u00b2 over time.)\n\nFor example, the Internet Archive version of the shutdown notice for the queer(.)af Mastodon server, is visibly blank:\n\nhttps://web.archive.org/web/20240112165635/https://queer.af/@postmaster/111733741786950083\n\nNote: only a single Internet Archive snapshot was made of that post.\n\nHowever if you View Source, you can find the entirety of that #queerAF post duplicated across a couple of invisible-to-the-user meta tags inside the raw HTML:\n\n\u00a0\"**TL;DR: Queer[.]AF will close on 2024-04-12** \u2026\" \u00a0\n\n[.] added to avoid linking to a dead domain.\n\nNote: such meta tags in js;dr pages were part of the motivation to specify metaformats.\n\nTo be clear, the shutdown of queer(.)af was a tragedy and not the fault of the creators, administrators etc., but rather one of the unfortunate outcomes of using some ccTLDs, country-code top level domains, that risk sudden draconian rules, domain renewal price hikes, or other unpredictable risks due to the politics, turmoil, regime changes etc. of the countries that administrate such domains.\n\n\nNearly the entirety of every Mastodon server, every post, every reply, is ephemeral.\n\nWhen a Mastodon server shuts down, all its posts disappear from the surface of the web, forever.\n\nPerhaps internet archeologists of the future will discover such dead permalinks, check the Internet Archive, find apparent desolation, and a few of them will be curious enough to use View Source tools to unearth parts of those posts, unintentionally preserved inside ceremonial meta tags next to dead scripts disconnected from databases and an empty shell of a body. \u00a0 \n\nAll reply-contexts of and replies to such posts and conversations lost, like threads unraveled from an ancient tapestry, scattered to the winds.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re reading this post in your Mastodon reader, on either the website of your Mastodon account, or in a proprietary native client application, you should be able to click through, perhaps on the date-time stamp displayed to you, to view the original post on my website, where it is served in relatively simple declarative HTML + CSS with a bit of progressive enhancement script.\n\nBecause I serve declarative content, my posts are both findable across a variety of services & search engines, and archived by the Internet Archive. Even if my site goes down, snapshots or archives will be viewable elsewhere, with nearly the same fidelity of viewing them directly on my site.\n\nThis design for longevity is both deliberate, and the default for which the web was designed. It\u2019s also one of the explicit principles in the IndieWeb community.\n\nIf that resonates with you, if creating, writing, & building things that last matter to you, choose web tools, services, and software that support the persistence & longevity of your work.\n\n#persistentWeb #longWeb #LongNow\n\nThis is post 10 of #100PostsOfIndieWeb. #100Posts\n\n\u2190 https://tantek.com/2024/035/t2/indiewebcamp-brighton-tickets-available\n\u2192 \ud83d\udd2e\n\n\nPost glossary:\n\nAPI (Application Programming Interface)\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/API\nBluesky\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/Bluesky\nBridgy\n\u00a0 https://brid.gy/\nBridgy Fed\n\u00a0 https://fed.brid.gy/\nccTLD (country-code top level domain)\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/ccTLD\ncurlable\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/curlable\ndeclarative web\n\u00a0 https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/webvision/full/#thedeclarativeweb\nInternet Archive\n\u00a0 https://archive.org/\njs;dr (JavaScript required; Didn\u2019t Read)\n\u00a0 https://tantek.com/2015/069/t1/js-dr-javascript-required-dead\nJSON\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/JSON\nlongevity\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/longevity\nMastodon\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/Mastodon\nmetaformats\n\u00a0 https://microformats.org/wiki/metaformats\npermalink\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/permalink\nprinciples in the IndieWeb community\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/principles\nprogressive enhancement\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/progressive_enhancement\nreply\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/reply\nreply-context\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/reply-context\nrobots.txt\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/robots_txt\nsocial media\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/social_media\nsilo\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/silo\nView Source\n\u00a0 https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools-user/view_source/index.html\n\n\n\u00b9 https://chat.indieweb.org/2024-02-13#t1707845454695700\n\u00b2 https://indieweb.org/site-deaths",

It\u2019s also one of the explicit principles in the IndieWeb community.<br /><br />If that resonates with you, if creating, writing, &amp; building things that last matter to you, choose web tools, services, and software that support the persistence &amp; longevity of your work.<br /><br />#<span class=\"p-category\">persistentWeb</span> #<span class=\"p-category\">longWeb</span> #<span class=\"p-category\">LongNow</span><br /><br />This is post 10 of #<span class=\"p-category\">100PostsOfIndieWeb</span>. #<span class=\"p-category\">100Posts</span><br /><br />\u2190 <a href=\"https://tantek.com/2024/035/t2/indiewebcamp-brighton-tickets-available\">https://tantek.com/2024/035/t2/indiewebcamp-brighton-tickets-available</a><br />\u2192 \ud83d\udd2e<br /><br /><br />Post glossary:<br /><br />API (Application Programming Interface)<br />\u00a0 <a href=\"https://indieweb.org/API\">https://indieweb.org/API</a><br />Bluesky<br />\u00a0 <a href=\"https://indieweb.org/Bluesky\">https://indieweb.org/Bluesky</a><br />Bridgy<br />\u00a0 <a href=\"https://brid.gy/\">https://brid.gy/</a><br />Bridgy Fed<br />\u00a0 <a href=\"https://fed.brid.gy/\">https://fed.brid.gy/</a><br />ccTLD (country-code top level domain)<br />\u00a0 <a href=\"https://indieweb.org/ccTLD\">https://indieweb.org/ccTLD</a><br />curlable<br />\u00a0 <a href=\"https://indieweb.org/curlable\">https://indieweb.org/curlable</a><br />declarative web<br />\u00a0 <a href=\"https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/webvision/full/#thedeclarativeweb\">https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/webvision/full/#thedeclarativeweb</a><br />Internet Archive<br />\u00a0 <a href=\"https://archive.org/\">https://archive.org/</a><br />js;dr (JavaScript required; Didn\u2019t Read)<br />\u00a0 <a href=\"https://tantek.com/2015/069/t1/js-dr-javascript-required-dead\">https://tantek.com/2015/069/t1/js-dr-javascript-required-dead</a><br />JSON<br />\u00a0 <a href=\"https://indieweb.org/JSON\">https://indieweb.org/JSON</a><br />longevity<br />\u00a0 <a href=\"https://indieweb.org/longevity\">https://indieweb.org/longevity</a><br />Mastodon<br />\u00a0 <a href=\"https://indieweb.org/Mastodon\">https://indieweb.org/Mastodon</a><br />metaformats<br />\u00a0 <a href=\"https://microformats.org/wiki/metaformats\">https://microformats.org/wiki/metaformats</a><br />permalink<br />\u00a0 <a href=\"https://indieweb.org/permalink\">https://indieweb.org/permalink</a><br />principles in the IndieWeb community<br />\u00a0 <a href=\"https://indieweb.org/principles\">https://indieweb.org/principles</a><br />progressive enhancement<br />\u00a0 <a href=\"https://indieweb.org/progressive_enhancement\">https://indieweb.org/progressive_enhancement</a><br />reply<br />\u00a0 <a href=\"https://indieweb.org/reply\">https://indieweb.org/reply</a><br />reply-context<br />\u00a0 <a href=\"https://indieweb.org/reply-context\">https://indieweb.org/reply-context</a><br />robots.txt<br />\u00a0 <a href=\"https://indieweb.org/robots_txt\">https://indieweb.org/robots_txt</a><br />social media<br />\u00a0 <a href=\"https://indieweb.org/social_media\">https://indieweb.org/social_media</a><br />silo<br />\u00a0 <a href=\"https://indieweb.org/silo\">https://indieweb.org/silo</a><br />View Source<br />\u00a0 <a href=\"https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools-user/view_source/index.html\">https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools-user/view_source/index.html</a><br /><br /><br /><a href=\"http://tantek.com/#t5VU1_ref-1\">\u00b9</a> <a href=\"https://chat.indieweb.org/2024-02-13#t1707845454695700\">https://chat.indieweb.org/2024-02-13#t1707845454695700</a><br /><a href=\"http://tantek.com/#t5VU1_ref-2\">\u00b2</a> <a href=\"https://indieweb.org/site-deaths\">https://indieweb.org/site-deaths</a>"

(I\u2019m not bothering to discuss the examples of walled garden social media silos because I expect we will continue to see their demise\u00b2 over time.)\n\nFor example, the Internet Archive version of the shutdown notice for the queer(.)af Mastodon server, is visibly blank:\n\nhttps://web.archive.org/web/20240112165635/https://queer.af/@postmaster/111733741786950083\n\nNote: only a single Internet Archive snapshot was made of that post.\n\nHowever if you View Source, you can find the entirety of that #queerAF post duplicated across a couple of invisible-to-the-user meta tags inside the raw HTML:\n\n\u00a0\"**TL;DR: Queer[.]AF will close on 2024-04-12** \u2026\" \u00a0\n\n[.] added to avoid linking to a dead domain.\n\nNote: such meta tags in js;dr pages were part of the motivation to specify metaformats.\n\nTo be clear, the shutdown of queer(.)af was a tragedy and not the fault of the creators, administrators etc., but rather one of the unfortunate outcomes of using some ccTLDs, country-code top level domains, that risk sudden draconian rules, domain renewal price hikes, or other unpredictable risks due to the politics, turmoil, regime changes etc. of the countries that administrate such domains.\n\n\nNearly the entirety of every Mastodon server, every post, every reply, is ephemeral.\n\nWhen a Mastodon server shuts down, all its posts disappear from the surface of the web, forever.\n\nPerhaps internet archeologists of the future will discover such dead permalinks, check the Internet Archive, find apparent desolation, and a few of them will be curious enough to use View Source tools to unearth parts of those posts, unintentionally preserved inside ceremonial meta tags next to dead scripts disconnected from databases and an empty shell of a body. \u00a0 \n\nAll reply-contexts of and replies to such posts and conversations lost, like threads unraveled from an ancient tapestry, scattered to the winds.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re reading this post in your Mastodon reader, on either the website of your Mastodon account, or in a proprietary native client application, you should be able to click through, perhaps on the date-time stamp displayed to you, to view the original post on my website, where it is served in relatively simple declarative HTML + CSS with a bit of progressive enhancement script.\n\nBecause I serve declarative content, my posts are both findable across a variety of services & search engines, and archived by the Internet Archive. Even if my site goes down, snapshots or archives will be viewable elsewhere, with nearly the same fidelity of viewing them directly on my site.\n\nThis design for longevity is both deliberate, and the default for which the web was designed. It\u2019s also one of the explicit principles in the IndieWeb community.\n\nIf that resonates with you, if creating, writing, & building things that last matter to you, choose web tools, services, and software that support the persistence & longevity of your work.\n\n#persistentWeb #longWeb #LongNow\n\nThis is post 10 of #100PostsOfIndieWeb. #100Posts\n\n\u2190 https://tantek.com/2024/035/t2/indiewebcamp-brighton-tickets-available\n\u2192 \ud83d\udd2e\n\n\nPost glossary:\n\nAPI (Application Programming Interface)\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/API\nBluesky\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/Bluesky\nBridgy\n\u00a0 https://brid.gy/\nBridgy Fed\n\u00a0 https://fed.brid.gy/\nccTLD (country-code top level domain)\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/ccTLD\ncurlable\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/curlable\ndeclarative web\n\u00a0 https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/webvision/full/#thedeclarativeweb\nInternet Archive\n\u00a0 https://archive.org/\njs;dr (JavaScript required; Didn\u2019t Read)\n\u00a0 https://tantek.com/2015/069/t1/js-dr-javascript-required-dead\nJSON\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/JSON\nlongevity\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/longevity\nMastodon\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/Mastodon\nmetaformats\n\u00a0 https://microformats.org/wiki/metaformats\npermalink\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/permalink\nprinciples in the IndieWeb community\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/principles\nprogressive enhancement\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/progressive_enhancement\nreply\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/reply\nreply-context\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/reply-context\nrobots.txt\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/robots_txt\nsocial media\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/social_media\nsilo\n\u00a0 https://indieweb.org/silo\nView Source\n\u00a0 https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools-user/view_source/index.html\n\n\n\u00b9 https://chat.indieweb.org/2024-02-13#t1707845454695700\n\u00b2 https://indieweb.org/site-deaths"
