Regarding open sign-ups, I would love mastodon to allow "Trial Accounts" as a feature for users who are still pending full approval that:
- Limits user posts to X per hour (configurable by instance)
- Requires admin approval for image publication
- Only allows users with certain email extensions for signup process (to prevent mass account spam)

These accounts could be migrated to another account like any other account, and could ease onboarding issues. #mastodon #fediverse #indieweb

This has taken such an unbelievable (days) amount of faff, but I finally have webmention likes that I send displaying as intended, and not just as 'mentions'.

In case you missed the previous announcement, I've published the second part in my series about #Google killing the #openWeb (by proxy, via their forced deprecation of #XSLT and a fortiori #XML

The previous chapter, with a strong historical review of the last decade plus of events, is still at

One thing I would like to add to this second part is a directory of interesting #indieWeb examples of XSLT usage. Suggestions welcome.

Why I am finding it so hard to blog, I used to have so many ideas

Obviously this is a sign that I need a new side project

#indieweb friends, I found a fun tool today! it's a contact form you can embed or link to from your website and people can email you easily without you listing your email to possibly get spammed

(it's from the pika blog people, too, so you know it's cool)

I wrote a #blog post about my recent experience with getting into 3D printing

There we go, part 2 of my «Google is killing the open web» series, still about the proxy war #Google is running by way of demolishing support for the best tech for indipedent, curated human websites. Yes, this is still aobut #XSLT, but it's more than that.

Less history this time, but more opportunities to talk about control, and a dream about how browsers could have been designed to avoid this takeover.

I write VST audio plugins using C++/JUCE, I'm currently learning Rust, and I love the IndieWeb and FOSS/ethical tech.

I've had a #Gemini capsule - as part of my Tilde Club account - for ages now, and never did anything with it.

It will sit empty no longer! Instead, it'll serve as a home for text-only article copies - ad-free, graphics-free, HTML-free. No cookies, no tracking, and absolutely no "AI".

The first day's worth of articles are live now, accessible in any Gemini browser (or via manual protocol-poking, or a Gemini proxy in a Web browser.)

I wish there were more simple site generators out there that you could install on your server with an installer or by simply unzipping it to a folder instead of having to go through the whole Github and/or Netlify maze. Such a pain in the butt. It's one of the things I miss about the old web.

Throughout the growth of the Internet and technology, we are unknowingly misled and misinformed for corporate profit.
We should be well-informed for the growth of our humanity.
