More on the fediverse stars symbol, this time from Manuel Moreale:
I am no fediverse citizen but I do consider myself a good citizen of the web. I try my best to make it a better place and I try to encourage people to own their corners of the web. Am I excluded from your fancy club because I don’t “federate”?
This gets back to my point about “social web” vs. fediverse. Manu has a fantastic blog and he’s making the web better. The social web (IndieWeb!) should connect seamlessly to blogs without an extra protocol layer over the web.
Hey fellow #SmallWeb and #IndieWeb peeps! Has anyone else been looking for motivation to work on indie web/coding/archiving things? Well, I'm running an event, Small Web September, over on DW - hosted at the excellent smallweb comm, run by @kalloway!
It's a chill event open to small web projects of every kind - including those you haven't made yet! We'd love to have anyone who's interested, and you can join in at any time. All the details can be found here: https://smallweb.dreamwidth.org/2335.html
@catgirlin.space@fed.brid.gy
anyways like, idk, people like convenience.Then why bother with #IndieWeb at all?
over the past day or soI'm talking about over half a year that I've been in their channel.
and slackMy point is getting stronger, I think.
a privacy concernIts not a privacy concern, its a concern about IndieWeb's stated goals and their actions which go directly against it.
#IndieWeb, on their own website, says
The IndieWeb is a people-focused alternative to the “corporate web”.Then if you check their chat they are bridged with #Discord, and seem in no way interested to get people away from anything corporate and towards something more people-focussed. How can anyone take such a movement seriously when their main community presence is linked to proprietary, corporate platforms...
Hello! IndieAuth seems to be working in Bowl now. It even stores the tokens in the GNOME Keyring for me!
The code is really janky and I would like to refactor it before actually publishing. But it's good enough to post from, so I guess this is a victory.

I decided to put together a short write-up on microformats I believe to be used the most, with examples of how I use them myself.
Just learned about the hashtags #indieweb and #smallweb and thought I might add them here. Think my small posts fit there nicely.
And while I'm at it: here's a previous post of mine about me learning how to handle reduced motion preferences for animations and pictures in plain HTML+CSS: https://traumweh.dev/bytes/reduced_motion/
Hot take: #Microformats on the #IndieWeb are just distributed self-snitching.
“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!
#xoxofest #indieweb #webdev #html #tech #html #css
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.
