So... yea... I messed up my website repo... I overwrote the new files with old. And I thought I fixed it but nop. Thank you for weekly back ups of the server files brain! Every Sunday. So I did not loose anything but one line of code on the age of the page calculator. Make sure you always have at least 3 backups of your website! You never know! There goes my evening... #personalWebsite #indieweb #smallweb

#indieweb @KevinMarks@xoxo.zone: so now the hreads wil keep nesting, which means it looks better in phanpy.social than raw mastodon

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 so
I'm talking about over half a year that I've been in their channel.
and slack
My point is getting stronger, I think.
a privacy concern
Its 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...
