A Fedi-Coming-to-Jesus:

More than even the threat of #Meta, if the #Fediverse does not address its anti-Blackness in the general populace, it will rot the community from the inside out.

You can hate me for mentioning it if you want, but you know it's true. Deep down, you can feel it, too. Sometimes, we’re afraid to admit a problem we don't immediately know how to fix.

And that's fine—it's human. But history is clear about what happens if we don't figure this out.

Kind of a neat website (not made by me), lets you see what the weather was when you were born.

POSSE: Reclaiming social media in a fragmented world

This rhymes nicely with Mandy’s recent piece on POSSE:

Despite its challenges, POSSE is extremely empowering for those of us who wish to cultivate our own corners of the web outside of the walled gardens of the major tech platforms, without necessarily eschewing them entirely. I can maintain a presence on the platforms I enjoy and the connections I value with the people there, while still retaining primary control over the things that I write and freedom from those platforms’ limitations.

@lil5 Not quite *password* less, as I originally expected. This step is impossible for me to go through because #Firefox on #PC and #Android can't into this protocol. But if it works for others, than that's good. 👍🏻

I once used to use generating and exploiting simple magic links before I moved to #IndieAuth: https://github.com/jaredthirsk/PwdLess

@davew @b0rk Wasn't C2S supposed to answer to and resolve this use case? A kind of #IndieWeb legacy in the outcome of the #SocialWG hidden between LDP + Solid-OIDC and pump.io²

Interesting it's not linked.

A simple technique called “POSSE” offers the best of both worlds: total control over your own work, while still maintaining a presence on third-party social media platforms.

New story in my People series: Lover Boy

I was reminded the other day of this girl back in high school spending the whole day at a theme park just teasing me.

@mihobu I see blog posts as largely but not necessarily completely immutable. Smaller adjustments that don't affect the overall meaning (tyops, minor addendums, fix broken links, etc.) don't really need to bump the date. Larger updates likely warrant a follow-up blog post maybe with the addition of a "follow-up" link to the previous blog post.

#IndieWeb #BloggingCommunity

Happy Friday!

I have a question for my blogger homies: how do you feel about dates in the path of your blog posts? For example:

/2024/09/here-is-the-slug

If I update content (and the timestamp) then my path changes. Would it be better NOT to have the year and month in the path? Or do you view posts as immutable things that should not change once published? I'm considering eliminating the Y/m part and just having globally unique slugs.

Thoughts?

The latest #indieweb carnival topic got me thinking about burnout, inspiration and play. Also a drawing of a tiger:

Long live hypertext! – Tracy Durnell’s Mind Garden

This is how I write:

As an online writer, my philosophy is link maximalism; links add another layer to my writing, whether I’m linking to an expansion of a particular idea or another person’s take, providing evidence or citation, or making a joke by juxtaposing text and target. Links reveal personality as much as the text. Linking allows us to stretch our ideas, embedding complexity, acknowledging ambiguity, holding contradictions.

So I made a #BearBlog.

It's called, Web 3.0 Slept With My Wife.

Why? I don't know, man. Why are you asking so many questions.

Anyway, I intend to write short notes about the future of the web. There's a first post up but it's probably not representative of the tone I'll carry through the rest of the way. I want to get weird. We'll see.

How I Built My Blog

Really, it’s just WordPress1 + IndieBlocks with most settings enabled. That’s kind of it2. I know. Controversial, eh? ↩︎That exact stack, plus a so-called block theme, would give you a “note” post type, “full” microformats2 support, and Webmention. (And then some. Also, the block theme’s optional, but then you’d have to do with, uh, “less […]
