With my foray into the world of #indieweb, I've had to think about my strategy for post/content syndication across the site, the #fediverse and other "social places”. I’ve written up my syndication strategy here!

…I’ll also add to the list:

  •  Make a set of  “hero images” you can use in your blog posts to make text-heavy articles look interesting.
  • Play around with the og:image (sometimes called the “featured image or twitter card”) for your posts. Create a default one for when there’s no images in your posts so they can still get that “rich web link” treatment on other sites.
100 things you can do on your personal website by an author (jamesg.blog)

One of my favourite things to do in my free time is to tinker with this website. Indeed, this website is the culmination of years of tinkering. I have added features like coffee shop maps that I can share with friends, a way for me to share my bio in two languages, a sitemap.xml file to help search …

Social media lured users with money for “content” but also hooked them with addictive features like endless feeds, “like” buttons, and clickbait algorithms.

Interesting thread from Mastodon’s Renaud Chaput, noticed via The Fediverse Report, about how Mastodon is approaching quote posts:

It is a complex task and we have been working on defining the feature and the protocol-level details for some time. We are moving forward, and there are fewer hard questions to answers, but progress is there.

I can see a place for more control like this. But also, I like simple Markdown and HTML block quotes, because it scales from microblog posts to excerpts of long posts, for the whole web.

i know indie web is supposed to be all snuggles, but it really is about constant admin and blocking a large percent of traffic which is fucking goddamn bots.

#IndieWeb

@lenoreo micro.blog! They're an independent blogging platform for both micro and long-format blogging that includes social networking style features. Critically they're very supportive of the #indieweb and #fediverse and have supported various integrations with related services for a lot of years. I am very much a fan! Though it looks like my machinery for sending back replies to their platform via webmentions might currently be broken...

If it's between

I'm giving all the grace and benefit of doubt to group A.

Every time. Always. Forever. ❤️ #SmallWeb #indieWeb #Fediverse #fediverseMeta

The small digital community is an act of defiance. It exists in a web where perpetual growth and relentless extractions are the only pursuits.

Imagine stumbling across a post you wrote about the web, curation, and algorithms, only to see a "Save a Click" AI summary in the comments lmao.

Eugen Rochko on recent Mastodon spam. I haven’t noticed any problems yet but I expect some spam DMs will hit Micro.blog from this as well:

There is an ongoing spam attack on the fediverse for the last couple of days. It’s more widespread than before, as attackers are targeting smaller servers to create accounts. Before, usually only mastodon.social was targeted and our team could take care of it.

Request to add a Bluesky icon and link

…Just as the title says, and since Bluesky will be federating its protocol soon, it’d be nice to have a “Share to Bluesky” Jetpack link added using their 🦋 icon.
