Loqi [fandom.ink/@enchantedsleeper] I realised I haven't shared the basic website in question here yet, so behold a work in progress: https://enchantedsleeper.space/(Mostly I've been working on the fanfic portion, though I haven't uploaded much fic yet; it's largely placeholders.

Loqi Finally updated my Zapier zap that connectis Untappd to WordPress. Thanks to Khurt at https://islandinthenet.com/manual-until-it-hurts/ for detailing the process and making it semi-easy. Ha.

Loqi [plush.city/@fluffy] @starbreaker I agree with everything said in that and I really wish #indieweb were a more popular choice for this stuff. XML/mf2 feeds with simple composable protocols instead of everything needing to be An App. (https://plush.city/@fluffy/110677514723434237)

Loqi [mastodon.social/@MerriNet] Remade my personal #website upgrading it from the good old Server Side Includes #SHTML to Astro!

Loqi [manton.org] With Threads hitting 80 million users already, a lot of folks are dismissing Bluesky. But maybe it’s more important than ever for Bluesky to succeed. Or pivot slightly and implement enough of ActivityPub to co-exist? Micro.blog already cross-posts to Bluesky and I haven’t... (https://www.manton.org/2023/07/08/with-threads-hitting.html)

Loqi @fluffy I agree with you, but I think #indieweb has some unnecessary baggage. For example, I think #webmentions were a mistake. Fortunately, they're optional. (https://libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-7864-a99f-a0b4-69a441597925)

Loqi [mastodon.social/@sass] @starbreaker @fluffy What do you not like about webmentions out of curiosity? I’m beginning to dive more into #indieweb and was considering an implementation. (https://mastodon.social/@sass/110680373057134224)

Loqi [indieweb.social/@mcrocker] @tchambers I noticed that donations are via #Patreon https://www.patreon.com/indiewebsocial but #IndieWeb https://indieweb.org uses #OpenCollective https://opencollective.com/indieweb . Is that for philosophical reasons, simple disambiguation or some other reason? (https://indieweb.social/@mcrocker/110681120618423990)
