I always enjoy reading Manuel Moreale's People and Blogs interviews, discovering new bloggers and learning more about the process and motivations behind blogs that I already follow. I really appreciated @amerpie's parting thought in this interview – very timely.

I love the Kagi small web rss feed.
Lots of neat stuff comes through there, but I despise the midjourney images on SO MANY of the posts.
That garbage makes your otherwise good post worse. Stop it.

A ‘.well-known/avatar‘ URL would be cool · Let’s use avatars on our blogs and websites! https://ilo.im/1628jw

5 days till release....
And I'm finished with retroactively-posting my Bluesky and Tumblr posts! So if you visit the blog, you might get to see a LOT more art that you've never seen before...😉
I created a search engine for your and other's bookmarks:

Chez les anglophones, il y a plus d’instances https://phpc.social/about (géré par la Fondation PHP), https://mastodon.gamedev.place/about (pour les devs de jeux vidéo), https://techhub.social/about parle de plein de sujets liés à la tech (pas que web), https://indieweb.social/about évidemment pour parler d’activity pub et de sujets liés au mouvement #indieweb.
Côté SEO et marketing, je ne connais pas d’instances dédiées. J’ai l’impression que ce ne sont pas des communautés actives sur Mastodon.
Yay! If you’re looking for writing inspiration, there’s a monthly blog carnival. This month’s topic is “Affirmations” by my friend @artlung.com. More coming up: indieweb.org/IndieWeb_Carnival
I really appreciate folks making the #SmallWeb #IndieWeb more capable. @scottandrew has some interesting work implementing a combination of #Eleventy and #ButtonDown to enhance sites with subscriber-only content. https://scottandrew.com/blog/2025/01/integrating-eleventy-with-buttondown-to-create-sub/
🤖 There’s a new post on Michael Burkhardt’s Whirled Wide Web:

Hi #indieweb, what is an alternative to Cloudflare DDoS protection? It can be a service but also can be a program software.
Web 2.0 failed. True online sharing died a long time ago. So start taking. Take your ideas, your words, your work–and go home.

I hade one of those "Awwww I love the indieweb" moments.
Discovered a blog and read some articles which I enjoyed. Wanted to leave something in their guestbook and what a lovely surprise: It was an art-guestbook. So you draw something instead of writing.
Did that. But there was yet another surprise: The Thank you page contained a livestream of a printer, printing the picture I just drew.
Come on. How can you not love that?
Thanks @goodenoughllc
I really enojyed this guide on how to escape social media and join the indie web.
Surprise! I'm changing things up a bit. I had originally planned to publish my #Indieweb / #Fediverse / #cybersecurity newsletter, "Scrolls", on Sundays but have decided that Friday works better for me actually getting it out on time. So, since it's Friday, here ya go!
https://shellsharks.com/scrolls/scroll/2025-02-07
You can subscribe to the newsletter (if you're so inclined) using the feed here https://shellsharks.com/feeds (I also have RSS feeds for other stuff I write).
Feel free to send me any feedback on it, good or bad! I hope ya like it. 🤗
Also, shoutout to some of the folks who unknowingly contributed to this weeks edition. I found something you wrote, or linked to, or boosted, or shared, and I shtuck in the scroll. Thanks! 🧡
