@wastemobile ↩️ IndieWeb 維基裡推薦的 Twitter 替代方案並不是 Mastodon，而是 http://micro.blog ，或許因為想包容海量各種型態的內容，開放的網頁模式更加便利。 很推薦閱讀 Indie Microblogging 這個網站，幾乎是個小百科全書，對思考更加開放的 Twitter 類型有莫大啟發。 https://bit.ly/3fifz73 (twitter.com/_/status/1587259015511171072)

@CircleReader Welp, guess I'm on a Mastodon server at https://indieweb.social/@CircleReader (handle is like an email address: @CircleReader@indieweb.social) as well as here. Time to check https://fedifinder.glitch.me/ to see where in the #Fediverse my other Twitter folks might be! More: https://fediverse.info/ (twitter.com/_/status/1587275852227698688)

@ZekeAranyLucas ↩️ I just signed up on http://mastodon.online. Curious for sure. I also got into the self-owner model after reading a bunch of stuff on http://indieweb.org. It’s why I started a blog with ghost. How is the serendipity with your own host? (twitter.com/_/status/1587345515351621632)

@gavinwye ↩️ @abbott567 I’ve moved to Mastodon but will still keep coming to twitter. I’ve done it more for interest and because I like the idea of #indieweb and taking responsibility for my own stuff. (twitter.com/_/status/1587394921287262208)

@oceanzhuo ↩️ 对Micro blog的看法: Not Twitter Alternative, but better than Twitter. 采用的 IndieWeb 规范 https://indieweb.org/ 兼顾了开放性和用户体验 @aboutRSS 的转发让我高兴又很担忧: 尽管目前Micro blog需要付费使用，但也担心一些人污染这个氛围。国人争议性还是很大，社交的问题是技术无解的 3/n (twitter.com/_/status/1587407517235019777)

@erikkroes Has anybody setup syndication of tweets with @eleven_ty? As in, host your own tweets and send them to Twitter, Mastodon or whatever? I'd love to see your implentation!

[Murray] what is eleventy
#
Loqi Eleventy is a JavaScript based static site generator that allows the user to select their own preferred template engine and theme, which in practice can and does enable use of microformats2 https://indieweb.org/Eleventy

@doctorparadox The energy around Mastodon is reminding me of the days of BBSes. It feels fun and experimental. I'm at @doctorparadox@indieweb.social -- come join! (twitter.com/_/status/1587443156269891586)
#
@erikkroes ↩️ Great! The whole concept of http://indieweb.org is pretty amazing, and this really ties into it. (twitter.com/_/status/1587450349404782592)
#
@seaghanmaceoin ↩️ FF 外失禮。 Mastodon 的 activitypub 傳訊用 json 預設需要 http-signature（不確定是不是這個名稱），還要看 http://micro.blog 有沒有支援。#IndieWeb (twitter.com/_/status/1587467846665502721)

@kuocsemajn ↩️ fragmented though, eg http://indieweb.social can't follow http://mastodon.social people (twitter.com/_/status/1587484265167654912)
#
@kuocsemajn ↩️ on http://indieweb.social myself but seemingly no way of following you - advertised method goes nowhere... (twitter.com/_/status/1587483791605522432)

[tantek] I don't think that's true tho

aaronpk did it get blocked by mastodon.social??
#
@jgmac1106 This why I think #IndieWeb is so important as a solution to help fight #disinfo and why I encourage #nafo folks to get a website We need to root the web back in local powere and encourage the free flow of ideas. Do not let governments or oligarchs control how truth is shaped (twitter.com/_/status/1587490434644774913)
#
barnaby could be experiencing some inter-instance lag or bug?
#
sknebel Yeah
#
sknebel Mastodon.social has been struggling with load, so I bet it just returned an error to the lookup and they missed the error message which isnt surfaced very well
#

@caffeneko Dear followers - Sorry, anything of import I will post to my Mastodon account https://indieweb.social/web/@caffeneko - I will be on here thru the election next week to help democracy. But I do not have a desire to boost Musk's profiting from disinfo & global instability. (twitter.com/_/status/1587506194977013764)

@miklb I’ve tried to be IndieWeb for a long time, but I’ve also been using Twitter for communication for 15 years. B.E. I was OK to pay $5 to not be the product, pay for a 3rd party client and not see ads. Continue using the filters I’ve cultivated over that time. This saves me $5/mo (twitter.com/_/status/1587511026114764806)

[tantek] I was sure I posted something about "day of the dead website" last year or previously and can't find it right now

@Grassr_Journals ↩️ If you select a Mastodon server from https://joinmastodon.org you are quite safe. They have at least 2 administrators, so will not disappear spontaneously. If they close you can easily move. You can make backups of the content. Also commercial sites die. https://indieweb.org/site-deaths (twitter.com/_/status/1587539494105907203)

[tantek] The shovel stuck in the Vine grave (unearthing it?) is oddly predictive since it looks like Vine may be resurrected: https://www.macrumors.com/2022/10/31/elon-musk-twitter-vine-reboot/
#
gRegor oh no
#
[tantek] I mean it makes sense with Tik-Tok. I kinda wondered when that might happen ever since Tik-Tok became a "thing"
#
gRegor Wonder if it could get the momentum to compete again, though. Suppose the content "moderation" might get some people back from TikTok, but the whole moving audiences thing...
#
gRegor TikTok apparently moderates some topics pretty heavily and/or their reporting system is messed up, so there's a whole culture of euphemisms to talk about things without getting suspended
#
gRegor One artist I follow there can't even mention "bandcamp" or "link in bio", they say such videos get much much less views.
#
[tantek] Three words: Winnie the Pooh
#
gRegor Don't follow. "Oh bother?"
#
[tantek] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnie_the_Pooh_(Disney_character)#Controversies_in_China
#
[tantek] Tik-Tok is owned by a Chinese company. Ever seen any Winnie the Pooh Tik-Toks?
#
gRegor Hah, interesting. Hadn't heard about that.
#
[tantek] if I were relaunching Vine, I'd get some sort of license for various Winnie the Pooh templates / audio for the lulz
