So, a little spoiler. There were:
- banners
- web buttons
- antipixels
All of them had one goal: to show visitors other cool websites. You had a website about dragon ball? For sure you had a few “traded” banners. I’ll put yours if you put mine. This was when wab was young and full of hope. When there was no algorithm.
I’m creating those to promote my site. Does anyone here still have those for your sites? Let’s bring them back! Let’s bring back the JOY OF INTERNET.

Thanks to #AI scraping, I just had to delete over 20 RSS feeds from my reader that didn’t have a pay what you can option because the blogs have migrated to paid structure to prevent being scraped by machines. If you’re going to have a paywall, I highly encourage you to make it pay what you can/pay what you want. This way, it will force all the technology people to pay you, and it’ll give low income people ways to experience your art/content/whatever #Blog #Blogs #IndieWeb #SmallWeb

@clmorgan Maybe #IndieWeb & #POSSE & the new abilities to consolidate comments may bring discussion together again?
I have been pondering the fragmentation of comments here on Mastodon (different readers see different parts of a discussion), & more importantly their impermanence (we can go to "original page" to see all, but replies may be purged). Having a copy of record on a site under personal control might be good. Fellow-historians, any thoughts or models?

in the spirit of the #oldweb, i've been thinking for a while about how to compile topics and interests i care a lot about. they're called "shrines" on this side of the #web, but in convention with my website being a museum, i introduce you to the hall of favorites: https://xandra.cc/favorites/
i'll warn you in advance only once that the cheese level is off the charts, but that's sometimes the best part of personal websites! if you take a look, thank you. <3

"text": "404 Media reports that Automattic is planning to sell its data to Midjourney and OpenAI for training generative models:The exact types of data from each platform going to each company are not spelled out in documentation we\u2019ve reviewed, but internal communications reviewed by 404 Media make clear that deals between Automattic, the platforms\u2019 parent company, and OpenAI and Midjourney are imminent.Various arms of Automattic made subsequent clarifications. Specifically, it seems like premium versions of WordPress\u2019s online platform, like the WordPress VIP service that powers sites for major newsrooms, will not sell user data to AI platforms.\n\nThis feels like a direct example of my point about how the relationship between platforms and users has been redefined. It appears that free versions of hosted Automattic platforms will sell user data by default, while premium versions will not.\n\nReddit announced a similar deal last week, and in total has made deals worth $203M for its content. WordPress powers over 40% of the web, which, given these numbers, could lead to a significant payday for the company. Much of that is on the self-hosted open source project rather than sites powered by Automattic, but that number gets fuzzier once you consider the Jetpack and Akismet plugins.\n\nFrom a platform\u2019s perspective it seems like AI companies might look like a godsend. They have an open license to tens or hundreds of millions of users\u2019 content, often going back years \u2014 and suddenly, thanks to AI vendors\u2019 need for legal, structured content to train on \u2014 the real market value of that content has shot up. It wouldn\u2019t surprise me to see new social platforms emerge that have underlying data models designed specifically in order to sell to AI vendors. Finally, \u201cselling data\u201d is the business model it was always purported to be.\n\nIt\u2019s probably no surprise that publishers are a little less keen, although there have been well-publicized deals with Axel Springer and the Associated Press. The deals OpenAI is offering to news companies for their content tend to top out at $5M each, for one thing. But social platforms don\u2019t trade on the content themselves: they\u2019re scalable businesses because they\u2019re building conduits for other peoples\u2019 posts. Their core value is the software and an enormous, engaged user-base. In contrast, publishers\u2019 core value really is the articles, art, audio, images, and video they produce; the hard-reported journalism, the unscalable art, and the slow-burning communities that emerge around those things. Publishing doesn\u2019t scale. The rights to that work should not be given away easily. The incentives between platforms and AI vendors are more or less aligned; the incentives between publishers and AI vendors are not.\n\nI don\u2019t think bloggers and social video producers should give those rights away easily either. They might not be publishing companies with large bodies of work, but the integrity of what they produce still matters.\n\nFor WordPress users, it\u2019s kind of a bait and switch.\n\nWhile writers may be using the free, hosted version of a publishing platform like WordPress, they retain the moral right of authorship:As defined by the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, an international agreement governing copyright law, moral rights are the rights \u201cto claim authorship of the work and to object to any distortion, mutilation or other modification of, or other derogatory action in relation to, the said work, which would be prejudicial to his honor or reputation.\u201dThe hosted version of WordPress contains this sentence about ownership in its TOS:We don\u2019t own your content, and you retain all ownership rights you have in the content you post to your website.A reasonable person could therefore infer that their content would not be licensed for an AI vendor. And yet, that seems to be on the cards.\n\nSo now what?\n\nIf every platform is more and more likely to sell user data to AI platforms over time, the only way to object is to start to use self-hosted indieweb platforms.\n\nBut every public website can also be scraped directly by AI vendors, in some cases even if they use the Robots Exclusion Protocol that has been used for decades to prevent search engine bots from indexing unauthorized content. A large platform can sue for violation of content licenses, but individual publishers are unlikely to have the means \u2014 unless they gather together and form a collective organization that can fight on their behalf.\n\nIf every public website is more and more likely to be scraped by AI vendors over time, the only way to object is to thwart the scrapers. That can be done electronically, but that\u2019s an arms race between open source platforms and well-funded AI vendors. Joining together and organizing collectively is perhaps more effective; organizing for regulations that can actually hold vendors to account would be more effective still.\n\nIt\u2019s time for publishers, writers, artists, musicians, and everyone who publishes cultural work for a living (or for themselves) to start working together and pushing back. The rights of the indie website are every bit as important as the rights of organizations like the New York Times that do have the funds to sue. And really, truly, it\u2019s time for legislators to take notice of the untrustworthy, exploitative actions of these vendors and their platform accomplices.",

The rights of the indie website are every bit as important <a href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/27/business/media/new-york-times-open-ai-microsoft-lawsuit.html\">as the rights of organizations like the New York Times that <em>do</em> have the funds to sue</a>. And really, truly, it\u2019s time for legislators to take notice of the untrustworthy, exploitative actions of these vendors and their platform accomplices.</p>"

I think I miss the point of the #now page in #aboutIdeasNow
People seem to use it as a sort of "Objectives" article?
I feel like /now could be a list of activities like in #ActivityPub since those are often things I'm reading and sharing right now.

February is coming to an end soon so my monthly journal series (a.k.a. "Captain’s Log) entry has gone live. 'tis a fun way for me to summarize the past month, get a little personal and document things in a way that may not quite fit in a normal note/blog post.

It's awesome how, as the #indieweb is coming back, and corporate control is waning (at least my environment makes it easier to move in that direction), I get a faint glimpse of the internet in the way it was before the money people came and messed things up.
What were tales of the past is now becoming accessible to people too young to experience it the first time.
