Doing some seasonal organizing of my internet browsing, and I'm going all-in on the #IndieWeb. I'm here for the wikis, the self-hosted blogs, the decentralized, chaotic social networks. I believe that's the future of quality information on the internet.
I hope to get around to hosting something myself someday, too, but I have yet neither the skills nor the budget.

I’m not sure how many people will see this, as I didn’t actively post before, but I’ve started a blog named Subtle Echo and posted the first entry today!
It’s a place to share my personal interests with the internet. Video games and the indie web are two big examples :).
I am still planning to slightly tweak the theming and create a favicon, but in the meantime you can check out my inaugural post
Yesterday I had a long conversation with @manton, the creator of Micro.blog.
He shared the journey that led him to build a platform that enables users to apply the #IndieWeb principle of first posting on their own blog, and then strategically cross-posting or sharing links on social media.
Obviously, topics such as #ActivityPub, #Bluesky and its #ATprotocol, and the #Fediverse in general were also discussed.

This sounds like a promising event. Hoping I can make it, contribute, and learn.
Third new blog post in three days! I will now proceed to not post for two months 😅
A new addition to my People series about some people I overheard while reading outside a bookstore one night.

@nazhamid I feel you on the slog with the 5, it’s absolutely mind-numbing. My cheat code was to take the coastal route and make pit stops at little beaches for my dogs.
By the way, your newsletter came up during the zoom call today for our little #indieweb group! A couple of people are making travelogues for local adventures like hiking Inspiration Point in LA, so I showed your latest issue as inspiration fuel.
The IndieWeb Concept
I often attach the tag #IndieWeb to my posts on social networks. Several years ago, this concept was a blur to me. Over time, I came to understand more what it was all about. In fact, IndieWeb can be defined by a list of concepts and perhaps every proponent of this movement has his or her own definition and list of concepts. So I'll try to define what I mean by IndieWeb when I use this word [...]
I finally have a new featured project on my site, my first attempting at creating a Diffusion-limited Aggregation #simulation ! It's been fun getting back into simulations, especially now that I've gotten so much better at grid-based programming over the years. Please give it a try, and let me know if you have any ideas on how it could be improved.

Early today, I had a wonderful conversation with @manton@manton.org about #Microblog, #IndieWeb, and #ActivityPub. It will be released in a couple of days as episode 4 of my podcast, as well as a video on my YouTube channel.

My entry for this month's #IndieWeb Carnival ponders about the benefits of doing things "good enough".
Great article by @nachtfunke:
📝 Craft vs Industry: Separating Concerns
Reconciling the differences between the craft of making websites and the industry that has grown around it.
> Handcrafted websites are made by humans for humans. This is what differentiates our craftsperson from the factory worker—what the craftsperson does is valuable to people, not businesses.

There's a million ways to capture, store, organise, engage with, and publish notes. This is my current flow for notes that end up published on the web in various places.

I’ve seen and talked to a number of people who don't feel that having a website is for them because they have nothing to share or put there ☹️. For many, having a website seems to mean having a "blog”, but I’m here to say that having a website *isn't* about blogging, it's about YOU.

Inside is a quick, hopefully mildly motivating writeup on things you can put on a personal website that have almost nothing to do with publishing "blog" content.
