[tantek]"I like having as few opportunities as possible for would-be enshittifiers to mess around with what I'm trying to do. (aside: If anyone enshittities my newsletter, it's going to be me dammit)"
[tantek]That way that's readable / understandable as plain text (as you see here in chat), and a formatting tool could detect the "(aside: ... )" and create a side note and reformat accordingly
LoqiIt looks like we don't have a page for "plain text first" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "plain text first is ____", a sentence describing the term)
Loqi🎪 IndieWebCamps are brainstorming and building events where IndieWeb creators gather regularly in person to share ideas and collaborate on IndieWeb design, UX, & code for their own sites https://indieweb.org/IWC
GWG[frozenyogut]: We have poor coverage in Asia in general, but we'd love to help people get something started. Our biggest groups are in North America and Europe right now.
[frozenyogut]Ah, okay. Asking because I'm based in Tokyo and although I don't have a lot of technical knowledge yet, I'd love to meet people who might want to start something here :)
GWG[frozenyogut]: Start out small. Find one person and get together. It is easier said than done, even where I am, where I know there are several community members within an hour of here.

[Joe_Crawford]I got more involved locally in San Diego because I was vocally including the indieweb hashtag plus San Diego in tweets and [gRegorLove] found me doing that on Twitter and reached out. That was 2019. Here in 2024 the pieces might not be the same—maybe it’s not Twitter—but throw enough seeds to the wind and maybe a few germinate!
starrwulfe[frozenyogut]: there’s a few loosely associated indieweb people around Japan and Greater Tokyo. Just get your site up and running and start networking and I’m pretty sure they’d be supportive of something informal at first.
r4dhexe_I've been connected through terminal at work, but didn't participate in webring followup. But sites I'm currently exploring come via https://search.marginalia.nu/
LoqiText-first design refers to the practice of designing information and UIs so they are readable/usable/actionable at least as basic plain text https://indieweb.org/text_first_design
janboddezDoes anyone happen to know of a service that watches "the Fediverse" and sends out webmentions to sites that'll accept them? (Or if they were recently added to Mastodon itself?)
janboddezI'm suddenly getting mentions for comments that I myself created on my own site and are then "federated." Or that's what it looks like. I'm also getting mentions for Mastodon replies, actually. Which is a bit weird, as I already support ActivityPub natively.
janboddezOoh, disabled Bridgy and it seems to have stopped. Curious, it wasn't showing me it had sent anything before. And the IP of the "bridge" seemed to suggest a Linode server.
r4dhexe_text-browser first means that it's designed with browsers like w3m or elinks in mind. They mostly don't render CSS or JS, so the structure has to be functional without those.
