Am I the only one who finds it weird that mastodon has decided to invent a whole new open graph tag for this purpose, rather than use the already moderately widely used rel="author" attribute?

(Apart from the fact that it seems a bit proud to unilaterally claim the fediverse: namespace/prefix for mastodon)

A quick note on cross-posting

In IndieWeb parlance, POSSE means Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere. I like the concept. Today, I’m changing a few things about how I syndicate my content.

All my main feeds (posts, notes, likes) will continue to automatically syndicate to my account over at Micro.blog. Micro.blog is a wonderful platform. While I no longer host my content […]

@Flipboard @Mastodon Added a comment about it: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/30398#issuecomment-2204184781

It’s sad to not see more cooperation between #Mastodon / #Fediverse and #IndieWeb

The latter is focused on social semantics for the web and the former for social semantics for ActivityPub – when the two overlap they should coordinate – and articles are very much web pages and something the #IndieWeb knows best practices around

I’m a little puzzled about why the new proposed fediverse:creator tag is only for approved web sites. Just a slow rollout? Clearly it’s most useful for news organizations with multiple writers, where there’s not a one-to-one mapping between author and fediverse account.

I wrote about RSS, and it has been 5 years since I started to use it.

The awfulness and disappointment surrounding the Ladybird developers just emboldens my view that the real solution to the browser problem is to build a less bloated web. Building a browser shouldn't be an undertaking comparable to building an operating system.

New #blog post from yday:

„ While it seems you can’t even open a fridge without some AI jumping at you, or your computer coming with hardware enabled spyware, somewhere in the dark something cool lurks. Not much in the dark, as ActivityPub is an open standard, and millions of peoples are using it via Mastodon, but the idea behind federation doesn’t get near enough attention”

My only subsequent mentions of Mastodon in my journal before 2023 were around my maddening attempts to set up a single-user instance, eyes aglow with #IndieWeb fire.

It took me a while to come to Masto.NYC, after finally swallowing my pride and pulling up a directory of open Mastodon servers.

Last night @seano updated our shared doc about how the server's infrastructure works, and... I... have no idea why I thought I could do this alone. I mean, I do know why I thought that. But yeah. Haha.

A sneak peek into the new redesign of the web app and its new capabilities.

I started brainstorming my blog post for this month's #IndieWeb Carnival and it's gonna be a good one 😍

What do people use for domain registrations these days? I own far too many and need to find something cheaper (and with better service) than Squarespace.

Or start linking to my dormant Patreon page.
