Austin’s IndieWeb Meetup returns next week: Wednesday, Dec 4th, 7pm at Mozart’s Coffee. Everyone’s welcome to stop by for a coffee and chat about the open web. What are you working on, and what can we do to move the social web forward?

Tim Chambers blogs some more thoughts on where the social web platforms are right now:

Threads and Bluesky’s massive success of late and Mastodon’s modest success does not make Mastodon and other fediverse/activitypub offerings losers. In this case it isn’t zero-sum. Fully open, patent free, non-commercial offerings like Mastodon, etc, have different needs and lifecycles and futures not tied to VC’s or shareholders.

Just discovered the forgotten websites subreddit. Pretty entertaining

This parody chemical company website is the kind of stuff you get. Pretty weird/droll

I figured out conditionally adding @octothorpes.bsky.social tags to my 11ty blog posts! I can add an "octothorpes" field followed by a list of tags, and those will appear in the correct HTML, or if I leave out that field, no tags.

I figured out conditionally adding @octothorpes tags to my blog posts in Eleventy! I can simply add an "octothorpes" field followed by a list of tags, and those will appear in the correct HTML, or if I leave out that field, no tags.

For example, one of my posts shows up under this tag: https://octothorp.es/~/Audio

For Love of God, Make Your Own Website - Aftermath

Unfortunately, this is what all of the internet is right now: social media, owned by large corporations that make changes to them to limit or suppress your speech, in order to make themselves more attractive to advertisers or just pursue their owners’ ends. Even the best Twitter alternatives, like Bluesky, aren’t immune to any of this—the more you centralize onto one single website, the more power that website has over you and what you post there. More than just moving to another website, we need more websites.

One more fediverse test.

It's been a little while. This is a fediverse test to see if my personal site is syndicating properly to bluesky.

And today during the #IndieWeb Homebrew Website Club I added support for Webmentions to the site. And as a bonus I put the code up on GitHub. https://tilde.club/~artlung/

Since I'm falling into the #indieweb rabbit hole. Here is a website that indexes the web with people's badges.

I'm in love with this!❤️

If you liked I started getting into alt media and here’s some highlights., my feed URL is https://robertkingett.com #RSS #IndieWeb

I added a "likes" page to my site!

The links are marked up with Microformats, and I send Webmentions when they're available. It's nice to have a place to share things I enjoy without needing to write a whole blog post around the link(s).
