Couldn't resist a final addition before a crazy short week at work. When I post now my website will ping the wayback machine to notify it of the changes, and is very slowly pinging it's way through existing content.

Some of you remember the 2024 Bridgy Fed consent dust‑up; others (like me) arrived later or were hanging out in other corners of the fediverse.

We just published a piece that tries to lay out the whole thing in one place: how AT Protocol and ActivityPub are making different bets, what the bridge actually moves, and what doesn’t come along for the ride (like moderation rules).

Curious what folks think:

“Weekly Note #2 | 24th May, 2026” by thinkbacteria

@bacteriostat: «The Gen Alpha Melody, biryani and brownie while (benga)walking»

Lately, I’ve seen a lot of criticism around Substack. And honestly, I get it.

The more I think about it, the more I feel the real issue isn’t that platforms change, but that we get attached to spaces we never truly owned.

That’s also why I’ve been paying more attention to ActivityPub, AT Protocol, or Leaflet. Not because they’re perfect, but because they’re trying to imagine something different.

Stop shooting on pure white.

Warm paper backgrounds. Off-center framing. Natural light bias. Your IG conversion will thank you.

White-bg was the e-commerce default for a decade because cameras were honest. It is not the default that makes things sell anymore.

Mood beats catalogue. Story beats specs.

@dotstdy This seems to be getting to be quite characteristic of the whole #indieweb / #smolweb / #selfhost movement, doesn't it?

Utvecklingen i Fediversum



Utvecklingen i Fediversum går tydligt mot POSSE (Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere) som är centralt för rörelsen som kallas Indieweb. Dvs posta på din egen sajt som kan vara vilken hemsida som helst eller en blogg.

🔥 Calling all bot builders & #Python devs! 🤖
I have a feature request/idea for an "Invite Bot" specifically for our instance, @indeweb.social.
The Idea: A user sends a private mention to the bot, and the bot automatically replies with a valid server invite link that the user can copy/paste to invite their friends.

Since it's single-server, it could probably use a pre-generated pool of links or the admin API if config allows.

OpenCloud is awesome, thanks for the suggestion!
