capjamesg[d] This is a comforting blog post on life without social media: https://mehretbiruk.com/2023/03/27/what-is-social-media-for/
# capjamesg[d] I am thinking of leaving Mastodon.
# capjamesg[d] One framing in my mind is that the most meaningful of social interactions I have had have not happened on social media.
# capjamesg[d] While I have met many people on social media -- and discovered the IndieWeb through it! -- the question is whether I can justify the countless hours spent scrolling and feeling not-so-great or that I am missing out or that I'm behind.

[ricola] That's interesting as I have been pondering the same. Rarely, if at all, have I had a discussion on social media sites beyond asking a question. On my phone, I grouped them and titled the group Social Suck.
# capjamesg[d] I like being able to share my writing to a wider audience, but the question is: is it worth it?

petermolnar that is because you need one to be the extension of the other; real world events and an online space to continue whenever and wherever. Indieweb works because of the indiewebcamps; social media without meetups will never give you the same.

# jimwins Mastodon has officially launched the fediverse:creator thing that was discussed here (or maybe it was #indieweb-dev) about a week ago. https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/07/highlighting-journalism-on-mastodon/

# [Otto_Rask] i wonder where the setting for "moderator approved sites" exists, is it something hardcoded into mastodon or is it an instance setting?
# jimwins My understanding is that it's an instance setting related to what links are allowed to appear in a 'Trending links' feature it has.
# capjamesg[d] [Joe_Crawford]++ for hosting FESH!

[tantek] I brought up my current thinking which is to add an explicit "Thoughtful Responses" section (with that heading) at the end of my post where I statically copy/pasted the thoughtful comments received on a post via Mastodon or any other source. This is something I used to do manually on my old blog, either by responses folks sent me or I discovered via Technorati (though I'd only link to the responses, not copy them inline, which I regret not doing
# [tantek] Someone recently post about their own (re)discovery and usage of this practice, labeling it 'webnotes', and it showed up in #indieweb-stream where we had a bit of a discussion about it: https://chat.indieweb.org/stream/2024-06-19#t1718817601749100
# [tantek] Does anyone (else) here manually curate a "Comments" or other section on their post where 100% of the comments/responses listed are manually added, with at least a link to the response, or in addition the name of the author (what I used to do on my old blog), or in addition to that, a full static copy of their response (what I'm considering doing now) ?

# [tantek] I also appreciate the likely very deliberate button microcopy "Add a Note", which you have to click to reveal a comment form which it also says explicitly in explanatory text "These aren't normal blog comments: this is a submission for publication. " along with more guidelines after the form.
# gRegor Yeah, also interesting that "Notes are given equal status with the original post in terms of typographical hierarchy." https://thelocalyarn.com/projects/local-yarn-site-notes

claudinec [tantek]: I'm manually curating comments from the fediverse, not that I get that many, e.g. https://www.claudinec.net/posts/2024-05-26-indieweb/
