my stupid mastodon app was not working as i was out of town, but the 32-bit cafe is expanding our #smallweb community into another platform as well as discord. keeping our community in a walled garden is not what we wanted to do.

so 4 days ago, we launched https://discourse.32bit.cafe!

took a lot of work and planning, but we got it done thanks to the help of our amazing staff and beta testers! if you've wanted to interact with us or the community and didn't really want to hop on discord, we totally understand and had you in mind for this. hope to see you there, if you're interested in joining a group of hobbyists who want to build up the independent web in a positive and encouraging environment :)

Running your own services on the public internet can bring years—maybe even a lifetime—of joy, purpose, and connection. It also requires continuous attention and care, at least a little bit every day, even when you don't feel like it.

I believe in the #IndieWeb philosophy that encourages people to explore the option of owning their own digital resources, but I wonder if we under-emphasize how it's more like adopting a puppy than like getting into woodworking.

I spent a lot of time on my Matrix homeserver over the weekend, and it's really paid off.

Feels good to begin to understand more about the protocol and how Synapse works. Also good: my Discord and Instagram bridges are more functional now!

I love having fewer apps I have to use in order to stay in touch with friends, family, and colleagues.

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 …

I have made a list of ~100 ideas of things you can do on your personal website đź’Ż

I hope the list can satisfy your curiosity when you have a free moment and the question "what can I do with my website today?" in the back of your mind.

At the end, there is a call-to-action: share your ideas, too!

Social media lured users with money for “content” but also hooked them with addictive features like endless feeds, “like” buttons, and clickbait algorithms. We all know the negative effects these apps have on users’ well-being. Mainstream social media platforms are now in a bad shape, and I believe people are aware of the problems and […] …

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

A. the people who live in the margins; who always experience the brunt of techno-utopia, and

B. the tech-bros who say "it'll be different this time"

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.
