remember chat rooms?

not servers. not channels. a room. you walk in, strangers are mid-conversation about a tape deck, somebody says "a/s/l" unironically.
built one. https://lolchat.rip

no account, no app, no algorithm. pick a name and go.

It turns out that I left my WebMentions off after my debugging session the other day.

I was so confused when they stopped showing up in the comments section. I thought a change had broken something. But no, it was me. I am a silly billy.

Now that @pixelfed has officially become the worse form of slop.

What would you do if Mastodon or any other Fediverse project, that you actively use, follows Pixelfed and becomes #SlopWare?

This time it was an easy choce for me, I never used Pixelfed, partially because @dansup is a horrible person with horrible intentions and a horrible work ethic.

Anyways, I just hope that the majority of you don't tell me that you will act like sheep and keep using that piece of software.

Please boost to get more answers.

I would stop using it, I would delete my account
I don't care, if it works I would keep using it

Decided to try out a new font stack on the website, just to see how the pants fit. As much as I love JetBrains Mono as a general preference (if client has it installed, of course), it can feel a bit... too clean.

A little while ago, I wrote a blog post brainstorming new and interesting potential uses for #Webmention mostly because I think #Webmentions are cool and more people should play with them.

remember waiting 4 minutes for one pic to load?

i built it back. two 1996 computers that dial into a fake online service. real modem sounds, busy signals, a chat room, and pages.

Substack hosts the most interesting writing right now but aesthetically it is worse than wordpress sites from the 2010s. I also intensely dislike having everyone's writing hosted on a single platform.

I've been working on a project to collect indie blogs and websites for the last 3 years. Still growing.

But now I'm looking for great writing that isn't just on Substack, ideally grungy little forgotten wordpress sites.

I normally write about digital self-reliance, open source, plain text, RSS, and whatever else catches my interest in tech.

But I may want to start writing about other things, too.

What do you think? Should I mix some off-topic posts into the blog?

One site. Bring on the chaos!
A different site. Keep things focused.

I started my digital garden a couple of weeks ago to get past my own perfectionism - publish the seedling, fix it later. This week I caught myself watching my follower count instead.

So I'm asking people who've been at it longer: what's your garden actually for?

Something else? Tell me in a reply. I'll write up what I learn.

Had someone tell me they don’t like heavily produced podcasts because they require more attention and that’s why I love them so seriously. I don’t listen to a lot of talk show podcasts, https://sightlessscribbles.com/podroll/ #Podcast #Podcasts #IndieWeb
