I miss times which now are being emulated by #indieweb movement - internet was a totally different place 💛

Starting work on IndieAuth for Jottit today. Building authorization and token endpoints so people can publish from any Micropub client. Love how the IndieWeb specs are small and focused: each one does one thing well, and they compose beautifully together.
First up: a simple consent screen and some JSON files for tokens. File-based storage makes this remarkably straightforward. #indieweb

I updated my /now/ page with updates for the month of January:
- Updated mountaineering targets
- Misc household projects and travel plans
Updated Media Diet:
- Fiction + Non-fiction books I'm reading
- Music (mostly 90s rap / hip-hop)
- TV / Movies
- Podcasts
- Video games
Updated Clipped Articles:
- Topics re: AI, ICE, Email vs Instant Messaging, and Getting-things-done
so i'd love an open discussion about something that i don't have much vocabulary for, if only because there are so few examples of it on the world wide web. anyone/everyone is welcome to chime in.
back in the mid/late 90s there were some attempts at turning web forums and chat interfaces into virtual worlds. beyond all of the 3d chat rooms and telnet muds, there were some 2d graphical sites like moo.ca. The Canada SchoolNet moo was a mud/moo that allowed users to add/remove/modify rooms in real time, in-browser.
snapshot archived here - click 'Web Walkthrough' to walk around:

Furcadia went a hundred steps further and integrated a 2d tile-based world with a world editor *and* script editor, so you could build your own "dreams" (multiplayer instances) within the shared game world. the entire game was built around socialization.
both of the above games are not just fancy web chat terminals. building and decorating the game world is a critical part of the social experience. you create a dining room, put chairs in it, program the chairs to allow players to use the 'sit' command, and then invite people into your dining room for a make-believe dinner party.
we now have reddit and various web forums. they're effectively the same threaded conversation that has been around since the usenet days.
what i *don't* see anymore are graphical WWW virtual worlds built around socialization. we either lock down everything and only allow chat. are there web-based MUDs/MUSHes/MOOs that allow for both world building *and* conversation?
Inspired by the #BloggingChallenge from @hryggrbyr on the oldest things we own, I thought of a related challenge: Things I Lost That I Wish I Still Had: https://davidmeissner.com/blog/things-i-lost-or-gave-away
#Blog #IndieWeb
I think this month's IndieWeb Carnival blogging challenge will appeal to a lot of people here.

@jonmsterling I use the #IndieWeb #micropub and #microsub standards for an interface I created on top of the FreshRSS reader's API. This allows me to, from inside my reading flow to post to my blog / other sites I have, my local notes, my hypothes.is annotations and Mastodon (and do so simultaneously or separately)
a quiet midnight migration: soft starshine, gentle moonglow, stippled cloudshapes, constant companions, pale-capped mountains, and forest-ringed lakeshore.
