"The internet has become an extractive and fragile monoculture. But we can revitalize it using lessons learned by ecologists." https://www.noemamag.com/we-need-to-rewild-the-internet/ via https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/04/the-internet-is-in-decline-it-needs-rewilding
"Ecologists have reoriented their field as a 'crisis discipline,' a field of study that’s not just about learning things but about saving them. We technologists need to do the same. Rewilding the internet connects and grows what people are doing across regulation, standards-setting and new ways of organizing and building infrastructure, to tell a shared story of where we want to go."

New blog post about my early memories of Star Wars.
Share your Star Wars life moments.
Hi all! Well, I didn’t plan it, but word got out anyway: Bridgy Fed‘s Bluesky <=> fediverse support went online a couple weeks ago, quietly and without announcement, but people still found it. Over 1200 accounts have turned it on so far and bridged themselves one direction or the other. It’s great to see so much early interest!
(For anyone unfamiliar with Bridgy Fed, here’s an introduction.)

Unplanned, spontaneous, and quick new blog post just posted.
This one is a list with (almost) all the interests I've had in my life. It's a list and that's the blog.
I'd love to know though: Do we share any interests? If so, which ones?

🔖 New bookmark: “Webbing” the IndieWeb – Tracy Durnell

> Is requiring a website to participate something the IndieWeb community prioritizes enough to disregard the needs of most Internet users?

I added #Evolt to the new #IndieWeb wiki page on adjacent / overlapping / past / present communities which seek to improve the web. https://indieweb.org/communities (and I'll note it's always a bit fraught to solicit wiki edits but I feel like this is narrow enough this won't invite trouble) ( h/t @tantek.com )
I’ve found myself wanting to check if a webpage supports webmentions while internetting, so I made a bookmarklet for it.

I added an /interests page to my website, hitting the general highlights and adding a message form for any conversations that ensue.

After a regrettably long absence, I finally (re-)posted a blogroll on rscottjones.com. It's a work-in-progress.
I forgot how hard it was to decide which sites to include, and especially so these days when so few of them are regularly updated and so many of my friends no longer post about their personal adventures, but as travel influencer brands.

Inspired by @matthiasott great newsletter: has anyone experience implementing #webmentions with @astro?
Here's his article: https://buttondown.email/ownyourweb/archive/issue-14/
And here's what I found but couldn't test yet: https://kld.dev/adding-webmentions/

“Spaces like the Fediverse, personal blogs, and the indie web are like the unkempt public parks of the internet’s town square-turned-metropolis. They are places where we should be careful to not let the billboards outgrow the trees.
But if we feel we are doing good, honest things, we shouldn’t fear speaking a little louder.”
Seen some discussions about self-promotion across the #SmallWeb / #indieweb recently. Here’s my thoughts:
