Online Homebrew Website Club: Writing Edition was a great conversation on all topics writing. Inspirational. One theme: was there are manifest benefits to writing to the void and starting projects even if they do not take off large. #IndieWeb #Writing Archived notes: https://indieweb.org/events/2025-02-04-writing

When I see a facebook / IG/ X / google drive link: It's always dead link or the content has been deleted since.

When I see a Neocities link: even if the person who made this is dead, the content is still up and archived.

Retiring the Likes feed

Likes All Things Must Pass.

This will be the last IndieWeb “like” entry to appear in its own feed. I’ve been rethinking, replatforming, and redesigning my site in the last couple months, and decided I will no longer be publishing “likes” in their own feed when I update DNS settings and move to the new site. All the previous “Likes” will be archived as Notes and will be findable by using a […]

Interesting independent search engine I just found out about - Marginalia Search. Gonna look into enabling it as an engine to aggregate results from in some SearXNG instance, together with Stract and Mojeek, which are already serving me decently and are both independent and not pulling results from Bing or Google.

@dadmin2 yeah I see the issue there. But if you go through my feed on my instance you will also find other users. Even though I am a single user. The federation works well and having more servers would not be an issue. Follow packs and such or user directories help here too.

Finding people the old #indieweb way also by finding an identity through their own domain like the net was meant to be, eg: www.samuellison.com

I finished playing the Higurashi When They Cry visual novel series recently and wrote a review about it. Let me know what you think!

This place we call the web (should be made by and for everyone)

Reminder that I write about a lot of stuff, blindness, life stuff, my author news. I never stick to 1 topic so if you wanna follow, my RSS feed is https://robertkingett.com/feed/ #RSS #Blog #IndieWeb

Looking on IndieWeb's Wiki for resources of where I see if I like blogging without having to jump to deep end. One of them they suggest is Micro.blog which I was wondering how good are they and if I decide to host elsewhere, if I can move content from mirco.blog to another blog.

Having been tagged by @shellsharks , here's my entry to the "Music Questions Challenge"

I love any opportunity to tell others about my taste in music, so I appreciate the tag 😄

So it goes, I'm tagging @cashmere_crypt , and @thraeryn to follow suit.

A throwback to a design experiment I played with 5 years ago:

How might a visual layout tool work if the only interactions with it were "edit text" and "split canvas?"

As you can see from https://cathode.church/fedi-scraper-counter.html they don't respect the #NoBot #NoAI etc. Tags. And in my experience, especially online, people are rarely searching in good faith, they want someone to pick at, but the bigger issue is the above violates consent, so if I have the #NoBot tec tags on my profile, everyone of those would scrape my content anyway. The other half of this is refusing to comprehend that there are a large number of people that don't want to be other's content and want to post among their federated circle and value organic, human, growth over someone just randomly finding them. While this isn't fully me, for example, anyone can see me, but I don't wanna interact with everybody, which is why I don't have #WebMentions on my blog for example. In truth, I don't want any data of theirs on my website, period, and this includes social media replies. I'd like a one way web mention instead, where they know I linked them but interaction is on my terms not theirs, but going back to the above, the above gives examples where consent is violated. Not everyone is worth interacting with online. @miturian

"The #internet was made for connection.Today, it has been colonized by corporations. The #network itself is under attack. Many people spend the majority of their time online using silos that block outbound links to the indie web. Google’s voracious greed is undercutting the value of participating in the #openweb by transforming the labor of writers into generated “answers” rather than connecting readers with websites."
