Organising content by theme

At one point in life, I realised that I could either spend 8 hours a day working as a software developer writing code - or I could spend that same time inspiring and helping other people from different walks of life to get excited about technology and learn development.

That's been my guiding principle for almost a decade now.

I wrote about it for this month's #IndieWeb Carnival, hosted by @xandra

@smsm1 @cryptadamist @cybeardjm That way you pay for your hosting and your consumption separately, so if Bluesky the client goes nuts that only disrupts the consumption part, not the publication part, and you can swap to a new consumption stack that’s run by someone else

Whereas in Mastodon – if you change your consumption stack you also need to swap your publication server

#IndieWeb is like Bluesky and handles publication and consumption separately

@smsm1 @cryptadamist @cybeardjm Whereas Mastodon is:

- One instance that’s data store, lookup service, aggregator and client all in one and which third party clients talk to through a non-standardized API

So Bluesky is more like the #IndieWeb in that you can easily self host your own “web site” / profile without having to also self-host the aggregators etc needed for consumption.

Hey @evan check out https://libre.fm when you get a sec.

All the top users on the homepage are on the social web :)

#indieweb #librefm

Just added recent tracks across the site and top-users (by scrobbles) to the homepage. Some improvement to the query would be nice to show top active users, but for now this is nice.

I wrote a blog post about black metal featuring some of my favorite tunes. https://nathanupchurch.com/blog/black-metal-fraught-genre-incredible-tunes/ #metal #blackmetal #indieweb #blog

How do we make it easier for "everyone else," the "normies," all those "regular" folk who just want to get online, how do we reduce the friction required to get them to make their own little corners of the web? How do we make the #IndieWeb easier? How do we make the #WebRevival more convenient?

Today I set up the GoToSocial instance this account runs on. I document the still ongoing process to migrate my current account in my Digital Garden. Check https://bjoern.stierand.org/notes/socialmedia/gotosocial/ if you're interested. #IndieWeb

A lesson from Four Thousand Weeks for when you are stuck in traffic the next time.
