#TwitterMigration, first time?
Have posted notes at https://tantek.com/ since 2010, syndicated tweets & an #AtomFeed.
Added one .htaccess line, thanks to #BridgyFed, if you use #Mastodon, you can follow my #IndieWeb site:
@tantek.com@tantek.com
Which demonstrates both the redundancy & awkwardness (it’s not a clickable URL) of such @-@ (AT-AT) usernames.
Like why make me type or show “@tantek.com” twice like that?
Why can’t Mastodon follow a username of “@tantek.com”? Or just “tantek.com”?
And either way expanding it internally if need be to the AT-AT syntax.
Why this regression from what we had with classic feed readers where a domain was enough to discover & follow a feed?
Also, why does following show a blank result?
Contrast that with classic feed readers which immediately show you the most recent items in a feed you subscribed to.
Lastly (for now), I asked around and no one knew of a simple public way to “preview” or “validate” that @tantek.com@tantek.com actually “worked”. You have to be *logged-in* to a Mastodon instance and search for a username to check to see if it works.
Contrast that with https://validator.w3.org/feed/ which you can use without any log-in to validate that your classic feed file works.
Why these regressions from the days of feed readers? -

Last month was the anniversary of two #IndieWeb #distributedWeb building block specifications becoming @W3C Recommendations:
* 5y Webmention: https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/REC-webmention-20170112/
* 4y WebSub: https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/REC-websub-20180123/
Both specs are peer-to-peer mechanisms, Webmention for a site to notify another of a new or updated link to it, and WebSub for a site to broadcast (or subscribe to) notifications for when that site has published new content.
Bridgy is a good source of metrics for Webmention. The Bridgy stats from last June https://snarfed.org/2021-06-05_bridgy-stats-update-6 show steady growth in both total Webmentions sent and perhaps more importantly, unique domains sending and receiving Webmentions. In addition the number of implementations & support libraries continues to grow, interoperable across multiple languages: https://indieweb.org/Webmention-developer#Implementations
Webmentions still have interesting social and UX challenges. While spam has not (yet) been a major challenge, there is the larger challenge of how to semi-automatically moderate and/or prioritize handling webmentions received from others, especially people you have not met before. The nascent Vouch extension https://indieweb.org/Vouch has been prototyped and implemented on some sites yet needs some work to address the more sublte social challenges. There are challenges with even trusting and displaying the icons of authors who have sent webmentions. Pixelated icons https://indieweb.org/pixelated are one possible approach.
WebSub has shown slower growth. While the number of sites that provide WebSub notifications for new content continues to grow: https://indieweb.org/WebSub#IndieWeb_Examples the number of hubs and hub implementations have been fairly stable for the past year https://indieweb.org/WebSub#Hubs as well as implementations that consume WebSub notifications: https://indieweb.org/WebSub#Consuming_Implementations
The key next step for WebSub is more Reader implementations, e.g. in modern Social Readers https://indieweb.org/social_reader to provide realtime updates immediately when publishing sites post new content. Once there is broader incentive for more sites to provide WebSub notifications, consuming sites such as readers will have more incentive to implement receiving WebSub notifications, reinforcing a positive implementation feedback loop.
With the combination of Social Readers showing new posts in real time via WebSub and personal sites showing new comments & other responses in real time via Webmention, the peer-to-peer web will provide a responsive experience comparable to centralized social media silos.
Want to support Webmention and/or WebSub on your own site?

I, for one, welcome all the independents speaking truth to power, criticizing organizations when they do or encourage harmful actions, especially in a systemic or global scope.
Even better when folks post said critiques to their personal sites. #indieweb -

Posting notes on your site is the “Hello World” of the independent web.
If you speak to the ideals of the #openWeb #decentralizedWeb #distributedWeb #federatedWeb #indieWeb or even #smallWeb, walk your talk: post your notes somewhere you control. Whether static HTML, server-generated from storage, or a service supporting your domain, choose a method that works sustainably for you, and stick to it.
Questions about options and when or why to choose one or another?
Ask: https://chat.indieweb.org/ -

Happy 2022 friends!
12 years ago I began posting notes on my site before Twitter: https://tantek.com/2010/001/t1/declaring-independence-building-it
Have a site? Own your notes in 2022.
Be the #P2P #decentralization you want to see, instead of tweeting to the wind.
Questions? Ask #indieweb community:

Minor #OwnYourLinks #IndieWeb trick I setup a while ago:
Top level /github redirect to my profile so I can link to:
https://tantek.com/github/cassis instead of linking to @Github directly.
Enables eventual moving/selfhosting repos/issues without breaking links. -

@b_cavello, been reflecting.
"immunity" not the goal. "#decentralisation" was colonized by #blockchain snakeoil.
Goals:
* agency & community instead of corp dominance
* humble interop, choices, direct practices
like end of tweet #IndieWeb post links
Which allow us to write and post more on our own sites.
And link to more resources like:
* https://indieweb.org/principles
* https://indieweb.org/why
* https://indieweb.org/start -

Good #IndieWeb reminder from @brentsimmons: https://inessential.com/2020/07/15/zillion_times_easier (https://twitter.com/brentsimmons/status/1283534944493502470)
And #BlueChecks appear to be frozen, unable to tweet, only retweet.
So of course this exists: @EveryWord -

#TwitterHacked. What she said https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1283513914597298178 via @b_cavello
Y’all know:
#Bitcoin is a coal-burning CO2 producing currency for organized crime
#blockchain is mostly #dweb snakeoil (singleton, OSS monoculture)

Still @Mozilla (now @W3C AC Rep), still working for a more #OpenWeb, and for an #IndieWeb that puts users in control instead of #BigTech. -

Added a Recent Photos embed to my homepage sidebar (or bottom of the mobile view) at #IndieWebCampAustin projects day! Still tweaking, yet quite happy with how it looks, e.g. compared to an@Instagramprofile. #indieweb#takebackyourweb#ownyourphotos#iOS#Firefox#screenshot -

@IndieWebCamp Austin, facilitating a session on All Things Photos.
Everything from taking photos, curating, editing, and posting.
My #indieweb #photo "workflow" involves many incremental steps.
* take photos in the moment, but not post, in order to stay present in whatever I’m actually doing
And then at "in between times" like standing in line, or on transit:
* curate photos, e.g. delete duplicates or non-HDR versions (or keep the non-HDR version if it was sharper, less blurry, or if the HDR versions had weird motion artifacts)
* favorite photos, in the iOS Photos app, that I want to actually consider posting publicly, or perhaps uploading e.g. to a wiki
* edit photos, e.g. rotate & crop, especially favorited photos, to align the horizon, crop out extraneous/distracting things, etc.
* choose a favorited photo from that day as my main photo to post
* write a narrative caption based on that photo
* include more favorited photos if they make sense as part of the narrative
* perhaps seek out more (non-favorited) photos to help illustrate the narrative
* post that photo or multiphoto post (its own process)
* unfavorite the photos I posted, except those I might want to view or show to friends later
I’m looking to simplify my process where I can, as it often takes me up to half an hour to actually get from curating my photos to posting a particular (multi)photo post! -

10 years ago today: started posting notes on my site instead of Twitter: https://tantek.com/2010/001/t1/declaring-independence-building-it
Then 25 days to auto-syndicate, catch up: https://twitter.com/t/status/8228455558
Have a site? Start posting your notes there in 2020.
Just start. Ask the #indieweb community and we’ll help.
Start with static note permalinks and a script to update your homepage & feeds.
Then start auto-syndicating (POSSEing https://indieweb.org/POSSE) and you can replace your tweeting with your own website.
Questions?

I have repeatedly expressed to peers working on #IndieWeb #SocialWeb #SocialMedia #FederatedSocialWeb that tech/plumbing-centric framing of #dweb "Decentralized Web" "Distributed Web" is heavily problematic. Beyond MastoGab, there is now something much worse (not linking). I’ll follow up with a longer blog post (it’s been in my drafts for a while), explaining why, how we got here, and maybe some ways for how can we replace use of "Decentralized Web" or "Distributed Web" with something human-centric instead.
