↩️ Think of the content posted during this brief absence on Twitter as a timed exclusive, if you will. However, I have a solidified belief that the fediverse and 'indieweb' spheres of people are the very thing that comes to the truest alternative beyond Big Tech data silos.

↩️ That’s real. I think I might just focus on getting it on my site first (in true IndieWeb style) then see if I can get some kind of bridge. I’d like it to be visible by others still ‘stuck’ in those communities and see if I can pull them over. (https://v2.jacky.wtf/post/195dd6c2-ddbe-4576-b067-08ead935732c)

I see IWC AMS dates as confirmed; if it's truly confirmed, I'll organise my travel to be there somehow

petermolnar: “On september 28 and 29 IWC Amsterdam takes place. We have a location, but hasn’t been completely finalised. But finalised enough to know for sure that IWC is going to happen!” https://www.zylstra.org/blog/2019/07/kom-naar-indiewebcamp-amsterdam-28-29-september/

[petermolnar_] [Zegnat] I will be visiting the location later this week to finalise it.
#
[tonz]
The location is on offer and available, I haven’t seen it yet to confirm suitability (but it’s a newly opened coding academy with auditoria and rooms, so likely will be fine)
#
Zegnat
I sadly will not be able to make it, september is full up on work for me.

↩️ There are similar issues, yes, so we'll need to add some blocklist/showlist filtering at some point. There is a proposal for vouching for them https://indieweb.org/Vouch

Just stumbled across the Micropub (https://indieweb.org/Micropub) and Microsub (https://indieweb.org/Microsub), and really want to implement them. Will need to investigate to see how plausible that is for a static site...

[jgmac1106] i'll ping again, but no word yet.
#
[jgmac1106]
Okay if Pace offers do you think I should go with it? Might be another Fr-Sat as the building in closed on Sundays. Will find out tomorrow. All the public libraries were same way too,...
#
[jgmac1106]
its like space is a premium in Manhattan or something
#
[schmarty]
Pace seems like our best bet at this point.

Would anyone else be interested in a Seattle one?

Or is there one already that just isn’t on the page?
