Inclusive hosting

Likes Notes on facilitating technical discussions in meetups by James.

A significant part of my responsibilities as host is ensuring that everyone feels included. Nobody wants to join a meetup that they think is interesting and then feel like they don’t quite fit in. For this to happen on the account of perceived knowledge one must have — often an […]

Scribbles seems like a great option for indieweb bloggers.

I was chatting with a buddy last night about dating apps, which I haven’t had to negotiate in quite some time. Sounds like they haven’t improved.

I offered up the suggestion that he create a simple #smallweb site to better highlight who he is, what his hobbies are, what he's looking for, and so forth. A little extra peek into his life—perhaps a useful differentiator that might peak someone's curiosity.

Does anyone have an example of this I could pass along?

I've been testing out Scribbles for the last few days. Here's my thoughts on why, what I think so far, and which I might (and might not) use it for.

Why don't you have a personal website?

#website #PersonalWebsite #indieweb #poll

I do!
Too expensive
Too complicated
Nothing to put there
Don't have the time
Not interested
Something else?

After a long time, I reinstalled IndieWeb’s WordPress plug-in – Simple Location. It turned out that it automatically added all the posts to the geographical location of my current location. This is obviously unreasonable, because these posts are written in different places. Before installing the plug-in, posts did not have geographically related metadata. […]

impact on the indie web is measured in meaningful interactions with real people

impact on regular social media is measured in reach and engagement.

The indie-web is de facto the *social* media/web where the social aspect is part of the equation.

Regular google web / meta platforms: publish platform where the curating editor is an algorithm

Also - I spent most of yesterday sprucing up my #blog design! Went with the newer Norrsken #WordPress theme from Anders Noren, whose themes have to be some of my favorites.

Yes, it's a block theme, which probably takes away some of the small amount of #IndieWeb cred I have (LOL is there such a thing as IndieWeb cred?). After refreshing myself on how to fiddle with block themes, I was able to get it how I wanted it to look. Not too bad if I say so myself.

What I created while remotely participating at #IndieWebCamp Brighton 2024: wiki-gardened day 1’s BarCamp sessions notes pages, and documented my @-mention @-@-mention autolinking coding improvements I built the Sunday before.

Day 2 of IndieWebCamps is Create Day, where everyone is encouraged to create, make, or build something for their personal website, or the IndieWeb community, or both.

At the start of day 2, everyone is encourage to pick things to make¹. What to make at an IndieWebCamp² can be anything from setting up your personal website, to writing a blog post, redesigning your styling, building new features, helping other participants, or contributing to shared IndieWeb community resources, whether code or content.

Everyone is encouraged to at least pick something they consider easy, that they can do in less than an hour, then a more bold goal, and then perhaps a stretch goal, something challenging that may require collaboration, asking for help, or breaking into smaller steps.

For my "easy" task, I built on what another remote participant, @gregorlove.com completed the night before. gRegor had archived all the IndieWebCamp Brighton Sessions Etherpads onto the wiki, linked from the Schedule page³. gRegor had noted that he didn’t have time to clean-up the pages, e.g. convert and fix Markdown links.

I went through the 13 Session Notes archives and did the following:
* converted Markdown links to MediaWiki links
* converted indieweb.org (and some services) links to local wiki page links
* fixed (some) typos

With some help from @alexsirac.com (@alexture@todo.eu), I figured out how to create a MediaWiki Contributions summary link of my edits:
* https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=Tantek.com&namespace=all&start=2024-03-10&end=2024-03-10&offset=20240310143900&limit=25

I point this out to provide an example of an IndieWeb Create Day project that is:
* incremental on top of someone else’s work
* community contribution rather a personal-focused project
* editing and wiki-gardening as valid contributions, not just creating new content

I point this out to illustrate some of the IndieWeb community's recognitions & values in contrast to typical corporate cultures and incentive systems which often only reward:
* new innovations (not incremental improvements)
* solo (or maybe jointly in a small team) inventions, designs, specs, or implementations
* something large, a new service or a big feature, not numerous small edits & fixes

In this regard, the IndieWeb community shares more in common with Wikipedia and similar collaborative communities (despite the #Indie in #IndieWeb), than any corporation.


For my "more bold" goal, I wrote a medium-sized post about the auto-linking improvements I made the Sunday before the IndieWebCamp to my personal website with examples and brief descriptions of the coding changes & improvements.
* https://tantek.com/2024/070/t1/updated-auto-linking-mention-use-cases


My stretch goal was to write up a more complete auto-linking specification, based on the research I have done into @-mention @-@-mention user practices (on #Mastodon, other #ActivityPub or #fediverse implementations, and even across #socialMedia silos), as well as how many implementations autolink plain text URLs, domains, and paths.

That stretch goal remains a goal, however I did collect a handful of prior posts on @-mentions which I plan to source for specifying auto-linking and @-mentioning:
* https://tantek.com/2023/011/t1/indieweb-evolving-at-mention
* https://tantek.com/2023/014/t4/domain-first-federated-atmention
* https://tantek.com/2023/018/t1/elevate-indieweb-above-silo
