I've been playing with a new home page design for my site. See it here https://shellsharks.com/home. My classic/current home page can still be found here of course https://shellsharks.com. I'm still tinkering around with it but wanted to see what (if any) thoughts people had. There's definitely some https://www.coryd.dev and https://flamedfury.com inspiration in there (cc: @cory & @flamed ). I like being able to be more creative with it and love the information density, but there's something about the simplicity of the current design that I'm still drawn to. What do you think?

New fediverse settings in Micro.blog

The whole "I won’t switch because all my friends are here" thing is exactly what #bigtech exploit to keep you trapped and force you to put up with their crap. Break that vicious cycle! Seriously, if we all do what we believe is ethically right for ourselves and those around us, we can put an end to this oppression. One step at a time, one person at a time we can improve things.

@ricmac This is part of the bedrock of my belief that the way forward is personal publishing on our own websites, the #Indieweb way. Their tools can't distinguish human written articles from AI slop or from straight up spam so anything of any length is easier to brand as violating "community standards." Of course, these are not standards at all, and they represent no actual human community.

If you're intrigued and curious about what else you can do with these tools, I am working on a series of tutorials:

I've been thinking a lot about accessibility recently. Most recently dyslexia accessibility. I've written a blog post highlighting some good typeface choices and other useful resources:

Acabei de publicar um post no meu website sobre como criar um website na "unha", isto é sem ferramenta nenhuma, usando apenas um editor de textos. É bem básico mas espero que ajude os iniciantes. https://antonioaugusto.net/2025/02/12/criando-um-blog-na-unha/

📝Prevent #Mastodon and #Bluesky from Generating #POSSE Link Previews

Earlier I posted that I’d resolved my new microblog POSSE posts from generating link previews on #Mastodon and #Bluesky. Today, I want to briefly run through how I managed that.

Ironically (or indecently) this morning’s newsletter was about accidentally breaking my site without anyone noticing. Well, this evening I accidentally deleted the site’s entire database so I think you might notice. Currently trying to restore from backup. #IndieWeb

New gemlog post!

I made a gemlog post about sending and receiving webmentions from gemini capsules with kineto (gemini2web proxy) and for example nginx.

The Social Web Foundation announces its membership in the World Wide Web Consortium

Cool to see hints that Tumblr is continuing with the WordPress backend transition. TechCrunch:

Automattic confirmed to TechCrunch that when the migration is complete, every Tumblr user will be able to federate their blog via ActivityPub, just as every WordPress.com user can today.

Ben Werdmueller adds:

Given the long tail of ActivityPub and the simultaneous rise of Bluesky, which is connected to the ActivityPub network via Bridgy Fed, the future of the open social web is very bright.

Now I wonder if Automattic pulling folks from WordPress core has actually made more time for Tumblr.

Wrapped up coding on a couple new fediverse settings that will ship in Micro.blog tomorrow. I’ll have a full blog post about it. There wouldn’t be much point in having our own ActivityPub implementation if we didn’t do things a little differently than Mastodon. See also: IndieWeb monoculture.
