I am an non-Mastodon user so I feel like using the Mastodon icon would be misleading. Otherwise, I been looking at Fediverse icon to use for my blog so I can link my social media links. What do you think and if you are not fond, what would be better icons to say "I am using Fedi".

What a cool idea by @alex to use GitHub Actions and Playwright to automatically take a screenshot of a website on a regular basis and store them in a git repository.

I'll look into doing the same with my site, seeing how it will evolve over the years will be fun.

#IndieWeb

its still a work in progress but i made a very simple comment section for my https://videos.ofafox.com/ site and i plan to expand it to my games site and maybe more as well.

so now you dont need to be on youtube to leave a comment on my video. however, comments made on my site do require my approval before they are public. i do this because i want to keep comments constructive and keep out spam and hate spewing. but i am open to criticism.

This will be a nice feature if/when it's opened up to people other than big news publishers, but I'm disappointed that @Mastodon decided to roll their own opengraph meta tag instead of using the existing web standard `link rel="author"`.

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”
