Thoughts on a new image for the fediverse

“we can build the web we want to see.” —@molly0xfff

and there’s communities of us who are doing just that! if molly’s talk resonated with you, please check out the #indieweb and #smallweb hashtags on mastodon. look into the “personal web,” tilde communities, and follow the threads of the web that aren’t being spoonfed to you by algorithms. ❤️ (and can’t help but plug our community https://32bit.cafe doing this too!)

LOVED her talk!!! amazing job, molly!

The brilliant @molly.wiki just opened #xoxofest with a rousing speech telling us to take back the web from the big platforms by posting on our own sites again #indieweb

.@molly0xfff’s analogy of “discovering [coding] was like having access to all the art supplies ever created” is an amazing one—and an awesome reason why more folks, including artists, should think of websites as a way of self-expression, to use the medium for art rather than to just display a portfolio or resume. the tools are there, ready for you!

Ben Werdmuller follows up on the fediverse symbol, blogging that Meta should be commended for adopting ActivityPub before any other large network:

Whatever you think about Meta’s goals for participating, I do also think Meta’s presence gives the network a sort of legitimacy that it was otherwise struggling to achieve.

I agree. I have nitpicks with the (for now) partial rollout on Threads, but overall it’s a good thing.

I like the proposed symbol for the fediverse: ⁂. It’s just unicode so doesn’t need anything special to use everywhere on the web. Part of me still thinks we should move toward “social web” as a phrase, though. The web should be the social network.

New blog post 📰

I’ve bounced over the years using various OS platforms and ecosystems. There is this notion that we are supposed to pick one and stick wth it.

I’ve decided that is not my path and I will embrace what is good from all the different OS platforms.

If it’s good for desktop use, then it is good for mobile use.

> нежеланная публика, которую лучше бы отогнать подальше, чтоб не портили атмосферу

Настолько нежелательная, что подкаст аж в видео и в Telegram выкладывается.

> Небольшая, но прочувствовавшая и проникшаяся аудитория — это ли не одна из ключевых идей, витающих над #indieweb ?

Не знаю. Не очень симпатизирую элитистским идеям.
Ни желание огородить Федивёрс от Meta, ни предложения перебанить всех инакомыслящих, ни нежелание публиковаться на проприетарных во имя великиой борьбы у меня никогда много сочувствия не находили.
Туда же записывайте всякие Gemini и прочие штуки "для своих".

Published a new #tutorial #article to setup your own standalone/local Stellar blockchain for testing and experimenting with Stellar Soroban Smart Contracts & dApps.

This is the article of a YouTube video I created during the Build Better on Stellar Smart Contract Challenge on @thepracticaldev

Go #indieweb! I mean IndieWeb3 🤍✨

@skobkin
Так прозвучало, будто не прочувствовавшие замысел подкастов воспринимаются как нежеланная публика, которую лучше бы отогнать подальше, чтоб не портили атмосферу. И кстати, это интересная антитеза корпоративному "охвату аудитории"!

Небольшая, но прочувствовавшая и проникшаяся аудитория — это ли не одна из ключевых идей, витающих над #indieweb?

Ótima análise sobre "reflorestar a internet": https://baixacultura.org/2024/07/26/reflorestar-a-internet/

Eu já tinha visto essa alegoria da Net como mato, acho que no contexto da indie web, e realmente um menor controle na ~forma~ gera maior diversidade de ~conteúdo~.

O mastodon é muito tri, mas ele tem esse efeito de resultar num estilo específico de postagem. Lembrem de cultivar um pedaço de terra em htmls mais virgens

#indieweb #rewilding

It's kinda nice to be able to post from my own Micropub client. Feels liberating.

From #indieweb-dev:

...but it breaks outdated clients that aren't updated... How much ground an I willing to give to outdated software?

More Unoffice Hours

I’ll be in New York next month, from September 16-30th.

So first of all I’d be delighted to meet fellow nerds in the #opensource #fediverse #indieweb community if anyone wants to meet up 👋

Secondly, although I’ve booked a place already: If anyone’s got a spare bed or couch for me, kindly reach out! Would gladly cover some of the rent/food for the duration.

Staying in NYC for two weeks is 2x more expensive than the flight there from Norway, lol…

update on webdev resources btw (mostly css and html, not jscrypts or php)
