“We do not like you, or your platform”
Signed, the Web
David Lynch has died.
His death hit me in a very profound way. Lynch not only gave me amazing movie experiences but also provided a framework in which I could understand my own existence in this world.
In my newfound effort to reduce my reliance on social media and take more ownership over how I share my images, I've put together a simple gallery page on my personal website: https://chrismcolvin.com/photoroll/
Reached 100K views for my permanently under construction web garden.

Yeah sure half of those are probably me refreshing + a bunch of crawler bots, but still, that's a whole lot of humans who showed up just to see my art and janky HTML.

I just committed over 1000 lines of new, untested code for my Webmention implementation.
I may have something to talk about at the upcoming Homebrew Website Club meeting 😅
I'm looking to delete my Facebook profile at last. In my final message to my contacts on there I'd like to send them to one or two articles about why Facebook isn't just bad from a #privacy perspective, but also why decentralised #fediverse platforms are much better in the long-term. Maybe throw an anti-Musk/corpo message in there too.
Does anyone from those circles (and maybe #indieweb?) have any easy to read and motivating articles for non-geeks to learn more and get active?
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
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.
