#
sebsel I made a mastodon.social account when everybody on my twitter timeline started joining... the "Dutch wave". But like most of those accounts, it's kind of inactive now.
#
sebsel Would be nice if people can follow my blog from Mastodon, like being @seb@seblog.nl or something
#
aaronpk yeah, I have no interest in maintaining a separate mastodon/gnusocial account but it would be nice if people could follow my content as @aaron@parecki.com or something

sebsel I don't know how IndieWeb relevant, but I came across this: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/28/magazine/why-the-internet-didnt-kill-zines.html
#
sebsel "He described zines as the precursor to personal blogs, but personal blogs have been on the decline over the last decade. And zines can’t get replies or hateful remarks in a comments section. Publishing ideas outside the mainstream can make an author incredibly vulnerable; the web is polluted with a culture of toxicity that invites attacks."

#
sebsel lol, turns out I already bookmarked that zines article in March. Time for me to revisit by bookmarking strategy :)
#
aaronpk lol
#
Zegnat sebsel, time to make a browser extension. Maybe a big red bar over the top, “you bookmarked this on {{date}} already!”
#
sebsel Right now, my bookmarks are just a link (u-bookmark-of), so nothing more than a like but with a different icon.
#
sebsel I subscribed to my own bookmarks feed in my reader, back when I used a reader. That was the purpose: to be able to revisit interesting articles.
#
sebsel But now I want more fields, like the reason to bookmark, some categories, etc.
#
sebsel what is bookmark?
#
Loqi A bookmark (or linkblog) is a post that is primarily comprised of a URL, often title text from that URL, sometimes optional text describing, tagging, or quoting from its contents https://indieweb.org/bookmark
#
sketchess Sweet dreams and a good morning Indieweb. Goodbye.

sebsel Most of the random Mastodon instances on http://www.unmung.com/mastoview are Japanese, it seems. Some are only used by one person.
