"A website is, among other things, a container. The shape of that container both constrains and makes possible what goes within it. This is, I think, one of the primary justifications for having your own website. Not just so you can own your stuff (for some meaning of “ownership,” in a culture in which any billionaire can scrape your work without permission and copyright only protects the rich)"

Molly White has a POSSE

Likes POSSE: Reclaiming social media in a fragmented world by Molly White.

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

Puisque #POSSE est dans l'air du temps - suite au billet de @molly0xfff - j'avais publié il y a peu un article en français (pour changer) dédié à #WordPress dans ce contexte, mais avec beaucoup d'autres informations

@stefan I love these websites you share!!

This is #indieweb at its best. Fun, utilitarian and a cool project. I remember finding many such gems while using StumbleUpon

My favourite is if the Moon was the size of one pixel...

The one thing about white Twitter spaces that always baffled me was how often their approach to Black liberation was simply to ignore Black liberators.

I don't mean metaphorically. I mean how Academia Twitter, intellectual twitter, journalist Twitter, all, would just straight up ignore Black activists in the comments.

Tell a predominant white academic that their worldview is incomplete, and doesn't consider people of color, and its crickets 🦗. Always.

And when white supremacy finds a sufficiently sized crack, which is never as big as we’d think, it pushes through until that crack is a gaping chasm of rushing water.

History confirms this narrative— Punks, wellness, cottagecore, furries—all well-meaning, predominantly white spaces that didn’t deal with the hums of anti-Blackness until it was too late.

They chose to get defensive instead of introspective.

It's this festering insecurity that makes communities vulnerable to infiltration of the more caricaturized form of racism. 

Explicit expressions of white supremacy are often forced to live in the margins of polite society. So, it must hide in coded language and micro-aggressions.

But that's not where WS wants to be. It wants to live in the sunlight, out in the open for all to see. So, WS is constantly scanning for cracks in societal norms.

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.

(On my birthday in December, it was rainy with a high of 44.8°F/7°C.)

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.
