"This exercise got me thinking about the ways we attempt to be present and to feel the presence of others in online spaces. I often find myself turning to the Internet when I feel most alone, seeking ways to feel connected to others; to feel seen by others."

Rewriting a bunch of my old Micropub code for the web today. Long overdue, and needed to keep adding features.

Oh, I say, splendid! This just came in today. The same day I pre-ordered @timbl "This is for everyone"...

What a nice feeling to see articles printed on paper again! I'm very much looking forward to read it on the beach in Italy, and then reread it again at home and find grains of sand stuck all over its pages...

Thank you @xandra, greetings from Switzerland and all the very best for your future editions! I will sign up as a regular member after the Summer pause. 🏖️

@SteveDuncan I use https://www.jwz.org/hacks/#:~:text=WordPress%20blog%20on%20Mastodon a plugin to backfill replies to links I've shared in Mastodon and it works well for my purposes. I have thought about using https://fed.brid.gy Bridgy Fed for interactivity but I'm not super excited about it. Some folks do. As far as the readership - I follow some Fediverse folks using the RSS feed for them. This is an area of lots of activity. You might be interested in the ongoing #IndieWeb dev channel chat.

#11tyCMS is shaping up reallll good 👀 .

We now have the functional site info "pill" complete with favicon.

You'll also notice the build and publish buttons at the bottom too... The build button works beautifully, but the publish one, not yet.

Publishing is gonna take a fair amount of work, so I'm leaving that til later in the development cycle. But this is shaping up very quickly indeed. #11ty #IndieWeb

Useful report from the Social Web Foundation after a privacy forum in Norway. From the first bullet point of next actions:

Create standard metadata fields within ActivityPub to indicate content visibility, consent preferences, and sharing restrictions across servers.

There is a tension in the fediverse between consent and the open web. It’s difficult to balance both ideals without over-complicating everything. Look at how confusing private mentions in Mastodon are.

I finally got my #webmention tool to a basic usable state. It's not done just yet, but it's far enough along to actually start sending out mentions from my blog 🥳

#writers, #blog aficionados, #web enjoyers, #website browsers: lend me your ears! i need help with a big push to get the word out about #writing for GOOD INTERNET magazine's autumn issue! a digital AND physical magazine that ships all over the world, run & contributed to by volunteers! (‼️)

in case you're unaware, GOOD INTERNET covers a lot of different aspects of the #SmallWeb: unplugging from the corporate web, fighting #enshittification, migrating from data-harvesting corpo social media, creating your own personal website, using code and website-building as an art form, federation, and creating websites for fun. the aim is to be approachable for beginners and enjoyable for seasoned #indieweb travelers!

you don't have to be a professional #webdev or a #coding smartypants to write about all the good things happening on "this side" of the web. the idea here is to spread the word about and share thoughts, independent web projects, services, methods, sites, meet-ups, and celebrate the non-corporate web together while making it easier for us to partake and unplug from #bigtech.

📏 looking for 1,000- to 4,000-word articles aimed at website owners and hobbyists, digital (and traditional) #artists, #internet culture enthusiasts, #technology nerds, #socialmedia expatriates, & anyone who wants to unplug from the corporate-owned #web.

⏲️ the deadline is AUGUST 22, 2025 ⏲️

Small Web: #smol

Maybe we should go back to using plain text everywhere over http...

The point I'm making is that there's all these "initiatives", like those I've listed above, all trying to compete for tjhe 0.0.1% of people who might think the same, but there's no cohesion to any of it.

Which I think is the thing which is missing...

Za to kocham #OpenWeb i #IndieWeb. Użytkownik z centrum. Użytkownik decyduje, podpowiada, wybiera, a twórcy oprogramowania wsłuchują się w głosy i albo wdrażają, albo jasno tłumaczą, dlaczego coś na danym etapie nie jest możliwe do wdrożenia.

The bookmark

I have really enjoyed sending #IndieWeb #webmention likes (to those sites that accept them) ... and I've also liked building an old school linkblog. I'm just this guy, kicking it like Jorn Barger's site robotwisdom. But maybe the world needs Metafilters and Farks. https://artlung.com/likes/
