I decided to style my #RSS feed to make it more human readable. Mostly because I can and figuring out how to is interesting to me. This post from @inautilo that links to this page sent me down this road. Down through the rabbit hole I found this stylesheet that makes it pretty easy to do if you have an RSS 2.0 feed aboutfeeds/tools/pretty-feed-v3.xsl. Well, easy if you control how your RSS is generated. #indieweb (https://techlifeweb.com/blog/2024/11/2024-11-17-post-160629/)

In 2018, when I added ActivityPub support to Micro.blog, I faced a choice: do I fight other “competing” platforms or do I embrace them? In hindsight that decision is obvious. I support anything that makes the web better. Twitter / X migration to Bluesky at scale makes the web better, so I’m for it.

Oh, it looks like my discord webhook guestbook on neocities isn't working anymore, anyone know if something got changed with that or what's the current meta for guestbooks on static sites these days?
I'd prefer not to sign up for an external service but if it works well for you guys I'll consider it, specially since it is a lil awkward to manually update the page...

"name": "Escape from Twitter: The Future of Social Media Is Decentralized",
"content": {
"text": "This is a pretty great article about the decentralized social web, which quotes Christine Lemmer-Webber, Blaine Cook, and me.\n\nIt\u2019s in Polish, but if you don\u2019t speak the language, the \u201ctranslate\u201d button on your browser works pretty well.\n\nHere are the full remarks I sent Micha\u0142 \u201crysiek\u201d Wo\u017aniak, the author of the piece:\n\nSocial media is where people learn about the world: they discover the news, connect with each other, share the things they love and what's happening around them. We learn about art and love; about current events; and sometimes, about injustice and war \u2014 all at a global scale.\n\nThe owners of these spaces have the power to influence the global conversation to fit their business needs. Business model changes at every centralized social media company have made it harder to reach your community, but it goes beyond that. We recently saw the owner of X heavily weigh in on the US election. Previously, lapses at Facebook helped lead to genocide in Myanmar. These spaces are too important to be privately owned or to be subject to any single owner's needs or whims.\n\nDecentralized social media divests ownership back to the people. Federated social networks are co-operatives of small communities, each with their own ownership and their own rules. Fully decentralized social networks allow users to make their own choices about how their content is moderated and presented to them. There is never a single owner who can unilaterally change the conversation; the platform is owned by everybody, just as the web itself is owned by everybody.\n\nIn answer to a question about my employer, ProPublica, its involvement in the Fediverse, and advice I might have for other publishers, I wrote:\n\nProPublica was already on the fediverse before I got there. That's down to Chris Morran, a member of the audience team. But, of course, I've been a strong advocate.\n\nMy main advice is: be everywhere your audience is. That does mean Mastodon and Bluesky - and we've had strong engagement on both. Use your own domain to validate your accounts and encourage your staff to join individually. By using cutting edge social media platforms and not being afraid to experiment early, ProPublica has so far bucked the downward trends that have been seen at other publications.\n\nYou can read the whole piece here.",

Reading the docs for the new @eleventy import CLI, I had to remind myself what PESOS is. It’s an #IndieWeb term meaning “Publish Elsewhere, Syndicate (to your) Own Site” (https://indieweb.org/PESOS). I know POSSE is preferred by indie web, but I’ve always thought the reverse makes more sense for social. When posting on Mastodon, I’m participating in a community, so it should not be a piece of content isolated on my website. *Archiving* my Mastodon posts to my website makes more sense.
