"Apple made a fateful decision that mobile-phone internet should be app-centric, not browser/website centric. Then Android copied their mistake."

Many interesting things in this article, but this is one particular gripe I have about today's Internet. I will go to so much unnecessary trouble just to avoid using somebody's app.

“Social media wasn’t Web 2.0, it’s what killed Web 2.0!”

Web 2.0 was not social media!
You’re rewriting history that’s less than 20 years old!

“You might think I’m arguing over mere nomenclature, but the important fact is that this era existed, and the Web3 pitch pretends it didn’t. We already had decentralized internet with social features. [...]

Are there other cool webrings I should know about (and are not exclusively for Neocities sites)?

@brettk cue "over my head" by the fray

learning this as a lay-person with no technical background is wild. if #indieweb and owning your experience online is the way forward (and i believe it is) holy shit we're going to have to make some kind of plug-and-play kind of application for beginners to get wider adoption.

thank you for the insight! it sounds like quite an undertaking, but i'm up for the challenge <3

okay for my next trick i want to figure out a way to update my eleventy blog from my phone if i want - right now posting anything requires loading up vscode and pushing to github. easy enough, but not conducive to "quick picture upload/status update" from my phone. #indieweb #posse #blogging #eleventy

I fucking hate ads where the person invited themselves onto their own fake podcast set to explain their product so they look like some kind of expert. Psychic damage. This is why every time I try to open up one of the big social media sites again it's just an immediate NOPE. #socialmedia #podcast #ad #advertising #marketing #smallweb #indieweb #psychicdamage #mastodon #facebook #instagram #theinternetisdead #socialmediaisdead #nope #internet #fedup

The significance of Bluesky and decentralized social media

Really disgusted by Meetup's price increase. Going from $119 every 6 months to $180. That's almost $400/year for a small community meetup.

About to #IndieWeb this like I did for the 11ty meetup. I just wish there was an easier way to get more discovery.

The more people build their own sites and link to each other, discovery and search will evolve organically.

#IndieWeb

@pfefferle @talksina @lordmatt As a standard #Webmention is merely a notification mechanism that A has mentioned B – they can be blog posts, social interactions or whatever else

The #IndieWeb stack of tech is much more granular than the #ActivityPub one – so the definition of A and B is left as an exercise to the user of it

But maybe you're talking about a WordPress plugin specifically?

@talksina @lordmatt #Webmention is more blogging-style... it is kind of the next iteration of pingbacks...

@lordmatt I have #activitypub by @pfefferle and his bookmarklet; think it works quite well. Is this #WebMention the same? I mean, another method?

In reply to Testing Webmention Plugin Automation by Joseph Dickson:

I believe the expectation for WebMention deleting is an update ping from the same sauce URL as the mention. I’m not sure if brid.gy supports that.

For more direct Mastodon control, might I suggest ActivityPub by the same author?

The next decade of the web | James’ Coffee Blog

After the last decade, where platforms have emerged as a core constituent of the web on which many rely, it may feel like things cannot change. That the giants are so big that there is no other way. Yet, to give into this feeling – that things can’t change – is not necessary. It is the way it is is not true on the web. We can make change. It’s your web.

I gave up on selfhosting bc it's too hassle

I could use some suggestions for a solution to host my personal web site

it's gonna be striclty static, no php, python, no databases

I'd like to be able to sync through rsync over ssh

namecheap offers a service that seems interesting, it mentions ftp users, I don't uunderstand how I would sync
