:disability_flag: I now have a blogroll where I collect links to disabled people's websites! I've found a few more of them since making the post I'm replying to. They're more or less active.

I've tweaked Kev's instructions for posting titleless PureBlog posts directly to mastodon to hopefully include all post types.

În prezent mai murdar decât Gestapo-ul, poliţia din Toronto îşi poate reîmprospăta imaginea cu recrutul unei noi Mascote senzaţionale? https://jungyulkim.com/free-press/ro/articles/democraţia-canadiană-în-pericol-în-timp-ce-toronto-mobs-conduce.html #News #Art #Canada #NewYork #Toronto #Mob #Crime #Indieweb #Headlines

Are #webmentions still used?

Had a blast at last night's gig... Music and visuals worked well and I loved hearing my work on a system with proper sub bass. It translated really well. However, the big thing, and this is where it becomes interesting as an indie web enthusiast... There was hardly anyone there.

The only people who came were friends I texted and a feel bad for the guy putting on the night (who is also a friend). The feedback was great re the music/visuals but I REALLY need to sort my shit out letting people know about what I'm doing. One friend, who's pretty good at marketing, has been texting me all morning lol.

I haven't had any mainstream social media since 2019 and I don't want to go back to it... ever. The only real power any of us have against these digital vampires is to remove ourselves from their platforms but clearly, they dominate on a local level.

However, it's pretty tragic if you're trying to get people to a music event in a small town. I appreciate the shares, I love the indie web and my friends here, however it's hard for people from say the EU or wherever to make a gig. The bus service between here and Berlin is pretty poor lol.

I need to find a way to promote myself locally. I get anyway with being a recluse because I'm usually doing sound for people with management etc. who handle the promo and I've never really promoted myself.

There's defo things like getting an email list and doing more than just texting my friends, back in the day we'd go out fly posting and that was part of the fun but are there any other things people who live there digital lives on the more obscure areas of the internet AND gig to audiences still? Seems a weird thing to ask given I've been working in music so long but I'm living in my own little bubble most the time.

On the one hand, I could get an Instantgran account and play that game but it would feel like a defeat of all the work I've done to self host stuff and contribute in my tiny way to making the internet cool again.

I want to bring people to the indie web, not create revenue for Zuckerberg, he's a cunt and fuck that guy.

Indie musicians here, are you still keeping mainstream apps or are you doing something cooler to promo your work?

Blacked out the Hacker News front page. What survived became a poem.

Inspired by Austin Kleon's newspaper blackout poetry. Single HTML file, no backend ? fetches HN headlines, sends them to an LLM, animates the erasure.

You Don't Need a Tech Stack. You Just Need a Text Editor.

Plain text files built the internet before technology stacks were a thing. Honestly, there is no reason why your web presence cannot just be a simple TXT file.

I am absolutely shaking. 🤯 Just posted the full report on the Dylan Sprouse intruder situation over at the forum. I had to add a personal note in the 'Teal Text' because my reaction to this is... well, you just have to read it. I’ve been following him since I was 10 and this is next level.

What makes a good blog good?: https://taonaw.com/2026/04/17/what-makes-a-good-blog.html

Up early (again) with coffee in hand, pondering what separates the blogs I actually enjoy from the noise. It’s not the platform—Micro.blog, Bear, whatever—or perfect grammar. At the end, it’s the human showing through. What do you think?

So, to keep the Forum awesome and running smoothly for a long time, I've decided to bring on another administrator! This is a super smart move that'll make things more robust and help the Forum stick around even longer than the OG. The plan is to get more people to sign up and then find some great folks from within the community to become moderators

Hello Mastodon 👋

We’re FameClock.

A simple idea:
there are 1,440 minutes in a day, and each exact HH:MM can become its own digital slot.

Something you can own, customize, keep, collect, or later resell.

Some people would choose a meaningful time.
Some would go for a rare pattern like 11:11.
Some would use it for identity, branding, or traffic.

What minute would you claim?
