: What I created while remotely participating at #IndieWebCamp Brighton 2024: wiki-gardened day 1’s BarCamp sessions notes pages, and documented my @-mention @-@-mention autolinking coding improvements I built the Sunday before.Day 2 of IndieWebCamps is Create Day, where everyone is encouraged to create, make, or build something for their personal website, or the IndieWeb community, or both.At the start of day 2, everyone is encourage to pick things to make¹. What to make at an IndieWebCamp² can be anything from setting up your personal website, to writing a blog post, redesigning your styling, building new features, helping other participants, or contributing to shared IndieWeb community resources, whether code or content. Everyone is encouraged to at least pick something they consider easy, that they can do in less than an hour, then a more bold goal, and then perhaps a stretch goal, something challenging that may require collaboration, asking for help, or breaking into smaller steps.For my "easy" task, I built on what another remote participant, @gregorlove.com completed the night before. gRegor had archived all the IndieWebCamp Brighton Sessions Etherpads onto the wiki, linked from the Schedule page³. gRegor had noted that he didn’t have time to clean-up the pages, e.g. convert and fix Markdown links.I went through the 13 Session Notes archives and did the following:* converted Markdown links to MediaWiki links* converted indieweb.org (and some services) links to local wiki page links* fixed (some) typosWith some help from @alexsirac.com (@alexture@todo.eu), I figured out how to create a MediaWiki Contributions summary link of my edits:* https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=Tantek.com&namespace=all&start=2024-03-10&end=2024-03-10&offset=20240310143900&limit=25I point this out to provide an example of an IndieWeb Create Day project that is:* incremental on top of someone else’s work* community contribution rather a personal-focused project* editing and wiki-gardening as valid contributions, not just creating new contentI point this out to illustrate some of the IndieWeb community's recognitions & values in contrast to typical corporate cultures and incentive systems which often only reward:* new innovations (not incremental improvements)* solo (or maybe jointly in a small team) inventions, designs, specs, or implementations* something large, a new service or a big feature, not numerous small edits & fixesIn this regard, the IndieWeb community shares more in common with Wikipedia and similar collaborative communities (despite the #Indie in #IndieWeb), than any corporation.For my "more bold" goal, I wrote a medium-sized post about the auto-linking improvements I made the Sunday before the IndieWebCamp to my personal website with examples and brief descriptions of the coding changes & improvements.* https://tantek.com/2024/070/t1/updated-auto-linking-mention-use-casesMy stretch goal was to write up a more complete auto-linking specification, based on the research I have done into @-mention @-@-mention user practices (on #Mastodon, other #ActivityPub or #fediverse implementations, and even across #socialMedia silos), as well as how implementations link URLs, domains, and paths.That stretch goal remains a goal, however I did collect a handful of prior posts on @-mentions which I plan to source for specifying auto-linking and @-mentioning:* https://tantek.com/2023/011/t1/indieweb-evolving-at-mention* https://tantek.com/2023/014/t4/domain-first-federated-atmention* https://tantek.com/2023/018/t1/elevate-indieweb-above-silo* https://tantek.com/2023/019/t5/reply-domain-above-address-and-silo* https://tantek.com/2023/109/t2/years-ago-first-federated-indieweb-thread#autoLink #atDomain #atPath #atMention #atMentions #atat #atAtMentionI was one of a few remote participants in addition to ~18 in-person participants, the overwhelming majority of overall attendees, who demonstrated something at the end of IndieWebCamp Brighton 2024 day 2.

I went through the 13 Session Notes archives and did the following: * converted Markdown links to MediaWiki links * converted indieweb.org (and some services) links to local wiki page links * fixed (some) typos With some help from @alexsirac.com (@alexture@todo.eu), I figured out how to create a MediaWiki Contributions summary link of my edits: * https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=Tantek.com&namespace=all&start=2024-03-10&end=2024-03-10&offset=20240310143900&limit=25 I point this out to provide an example of an IndieWeb Create Day project that is: * incremental on top of someone else’s work * community contribution rather a personal-focused project * editing and wiki-gardening as valid contributions, not just creating new content I point this out to illustrate some of the IndieWeb community's recognitions & values in contrast to typical corporate cultures and incentive systems which often only reward: * new innovations (not incremental improvements) * solo (or maybe jointly in a small team) inventions, designs, specs, or implementations * something large, a new service or a big feature, not numerous small edits & fixes In this regard, the IndieWeb community shares more in common with Wikipedia and similar collaborative communities (despite the #Indie in #IndieWeb), than any corporation. For my "more bold" goal, I wrote a medium-sized post about the auto-linking improvements I made the Sunday before the IndieWebCamp to my personal website with examples and brief descriptions of the coding changes & improvements. * https://tantek.com/2024/070/t1/updated-auto-linking-mention-use-cases My stretch goal was to write up a more complete auto-linking specification, based on the research I have done into @-mention @-@-mention user practices (on #Mastodon, other #ActivityPub or #fediverse implementations, and even across #socialMedia silos), as well as how implementations link URLs, domains, and paths. That stretch goal remains a goal, however I did collect a handful of prior posts on @-mentions which I plan to source for specifying auto-linking and @-mentioning: * https://tantek.com/2023/011/t1/indieweb-evolving-at-mention * https://tantek.com/2023/014/t4/domain-first-federated-atmention * https://tantek.com/2023/018/t1/elevate-indieweb-above-silo * https://tantek.com/2023/019/t5/reply-domain-above-address-and-silo * https://tantek.com/2023/109/t2/years-ago-first-federated-indieweb-thread #autoLink #atDomain #atPath #atMention #atMentions #atat #atAtMention I was one of a few remote participants in addition to ~18 in-person participants, the overwhelming majority of overall attendees, who demonstrated something at the end of IndieWebCamp Brighton 2024 day 2.

"The first is the social side of social media: what do you do with all the likes, replies, comments, and everything else that comes with your posts?" The short answer is #backfeed: https://indieweb.org/backfeedBackfeed is a concept I first wrote about as “reverse syndication”². As you syndicate your posts out to #socialMedia silos, you reverse syndicate any responses there back to your original post. Your site can do this with a service like #Bridgy, which uses the #Webmention standard to forward such silo responses back to your site, and #BridgyFed which does same for responses from Mastodon to your #federated posts.David asked many other questions, which are deserving of their own posts to help answer, so I’ll leave you with just one more: "The most immediate question, though, is simply how to build a POSSE system that works."The short answer is: just start³.Even if you have to do it manually (until it hurts), even if you have to edit your posts on a static GitHub site (behind your domain name of course), and then copy & paste to your silo(s) of choice, just start.By practicing POSSE, even manually, you will learn what aspects of POSSE & backfeed matter the most to you, what aspects actually involve reaching & responding to friends and others you care about.

: Replying to people on the social web used to be “simple” before #socialMedia, when we used blogs. You would either write:1. a short reply — directly on someone’s blog post comment form, OR2. a longer reply — on your own blog, in-reply-to & linking to the other post and send a Pingback, expecting at least the other post’s author to see your reply, or you would also write a short comment in their blog post comment form with a brief summary & link to your longer reply postAside: web forums^1 at the time were proto-silos^2, and replies/threads were generally self-contained therein.Then social media exploded and eventually everybody was replying everywhere all at once.This was so burdensome that some even hired social media managers to perform the labor of how (and if) to reply on each silo, and attempt to keep up with every new silo that popped up.After a few years of this mid-to-late-2000s social web chaos, in the early 2010s many of us went back to option 2. above from the pre-social-media era, and as part of owning our data^3, started posting our replies in general on our own #IndieWeb sites:1. Regardless of brevity or length, we resumed posting peer-to-peer replies on our personal sites (now sent site-to-site with Webmentions^4), watched destinations retrieve & display our comments, and were pleased that our peer-to-peer comments looked like any other comments (except with permalinks back to our originals).2. We also started posting replies to tweets, GitHub issues^5, etc. on our own sites, and automatically POSSE-threading them into their sites of origin.3. When we wrote site-to-site replies where the original post had itself been syndicated to social media^6, we did both 1 & 2. This let readers follow the conversation in either place, providing an #IndieWeb record for if/when the social media thread was taken down, or disappeared along with another silo shutdown^7.Following this 1,2,3 approach helped conceptually simplify replying on the social web, and worked well except for a couple of interesting ongoing challenges:* What is the most efficient user interface path from viewing someone else’s post to writing a reply from your own site?* How should you @-mention someone you are replying to? (and how can our tools write or pre-fill that for us?)Regarding the latter, on day 14 I wrote a bit about how should we @-mention in general https://tantek.com/2023/014/t4/domain-first-federated-atmention though that was more of a general @-mention exploration. As a follow-up to day 14, it’s worth looking into @-reply mentions in particular, specifically for each of the above 1,2,3 contexts, analyzing examples of each, and looking for patterns of @-reply mentions best practices that we can document & recommend.This is day 16 of #100DaysOfIndieWeb #100Days, except I didn’t finish writing it (mostly) til the morning after, and editing later that afternoon.← Day 15: https://tantek.com/2023/015/t1/publish-indieweb-decide-distribute→ 🔮^1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_forum^2 https://indieweb.org/silo^3 https://indieweb.org/own_your_data^4 https://tantek.com/2023/012/t1/six-years-webmention-w3c^5 https://indieweb.org/GitHub#POSSE_to_GitHub^6 https://tantek.com/2023/015/t1/publish-indieweb-decide-distribute^7 https://indieweb.org/site-deaths

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.For a start, re-read Mozilla’s Manifesto and Principles:https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/
