From the latest Fediverse Report, about Mastodon quote posts:
Mastodon’s concern regarding the potential for harm with dunking does need some context however, researcher Hilda Bastian has a highly detailed overview of over 30 studies on quote posts on Twitter and their impact. Bastian notes: “There’s conflicting evidence on whether QTs increase or decrease incivility, and whatever effect there is, it doesn’t seem to be major.”
I think this dunking is real, but there are many other problems with social media that Mastodon does not attempt to address. Not sure quote posts are make or break.

I think I have all the pieces set up and Umbrella is ready to go. It is a simple #11ty starter site that has IndieAuth, Micropub, and Webmentions built in using Netlify functions.
I've been using all of these pieces on my site for a bit but I wanted to put them all together in one place just in case it could help others start their own site. (http://bnj.pw/t5e70)

@me HTML is great and a little CSS goes a long way in 2025! Conceptually I think the same source (HTML, say) could be transformed into text with "gophermap" support to make it navigable with tweaking. Fun #IndieWeb project there, good luck!

Mathober site: https://mathober.com
We have hashtags #mathober and #mathober2025 to share.

This is a page on a bigger site (https://twcclassics.com/), and I always love when people make their own website as a sort of shrine to something they find interesting. It's cool to see what people care about and it also fits with my IndieWeb interests to have it be on your own website.

Long time no post.
I wrote a new entry in my People series, A Ritual of Some Sort?
This is a bit of a spooky story about something I saw one night while on a drive.

Personal take: Could be a help for the #Svelte movement if there would be a simple theme directory for personal and project sites like https://html5up.net/ or https://www.11tythemes.com/.
I only found very few themes for #SvelteKit out there.
It surely is a time-consuming community effort, but maybe a fun one. And AI can speed up the process a bit. Opinions? 🤗 #indieweb

Happy #8bitday yesterday! It was the 256th day of the year.
See last year’s post for why the 256th day is 8-Bit Day: https://tantek.com/2024/256/t1/happy-8bitday-binary-byte
Since last year, the related Wikipedia article on “Programmer’s Day” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmer%27s_Day) was updated to finally acknowledge worldwide observation of the day.
This year, inspired by the old 5k (bytes) competition (https://the5k.org/about.php), I suggested to a few friends that it may be possible to build an entire website where each resource fits into at most 8-bits worth of bytes. 255 bytes maximum size HTML, and maximum size of any linked external stylesheet, image, or even script file.
Constraints are key to good, creative, and often innovative design.
https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2023/06/design-constraints-challenges-opportunities-practical-strategies/
I have some ideas for how to create meaningful HTML documents in ≤ 255 bytes. I also have some experience with creating interesting style sheets under similar constraints with the invention of TSS (Tweet Style Sheets or Text Style Sheets) at the 2010 Twitter Annotations Hackfest (#tanhf). TSS links and details on https://indieweb.org/TSS
Intuitively I think a home page ≤255 bytes may be the most challenging, like displaying and linking to a stream of posts, in addition to basic about info. Post permalinks could display short notes (like old 140 character posts), requiring pagination to view anything longer. Images would be another interesting challenge, since even a 32x32 black & white (1-bit) icon would already be 128 bytes. What can fit into a 255 byte PNG or JPEG?, nevermind SVG, which will be much harder than HTML due to its much longer tags and attributes.
The archived FAQ for the5k competition is a good start for answering various questions about how to build an "8-bit" website: https://web.archive.org/web/20050310075803/http://www.the5k.org:80/2001faq.asp
I would add to that proper use of progressive enhancement (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_enhancement), that is, all the content on a page is viewable, and all links, buttons, forms etc. work without loading any scripts.
Besides the5k.org, have there been any similar challenges or competitions for 1k bytes, or 512 bytes? Why did Stewart pick 5k bytes instead of something smaller?
