that's kinda worth indiewebbing (even if it's critique)
#
[jacky]
oh I meant newssing lol
#
[tantek]
nah, it's got lots of confusion and misconceptions
#
[tantek]
like literally sites/blogs are just more "instances" in the fediverse
#
[tantek]
comments/replies going back & forth across different looking instances is a thing, not a surprise
#
[tantek]
it's like someone complained that replying on Mastodon to another Mastodon post somehow ended up on a Pleroma server somewhere and being confused by that
#
[tantek]
also referencing a discussion on Mastodon without hyperlinking to it is bad form
#
[tantek]
jacky, the other thing is, I'm starting to think we need a separate indieweb-dev-news for anything that includes jargon in the title of the post
#
[tantek]
and yes ActivityPub is jargon
#
[tantek]
like we shouldn't go out our way to amplify jargon in the Newsletter — there's already too much misconception that "you have to be a developer"

I 100% agree with that

User/Dev news (or docs)
#
[tantek]
we need a dev category in IndieNews

[indieweb.social/@ohcoder] I think subscribe the hashtag is a better way to find your interesting content.And then according to the content, find someone who you want to follow.Or, it is a hard way to follow someone when you first login.

[fosstodon.org/@shawnhooper] Tonight is one of those rare instances where my social feed seems to coalesce around one issue. @caseynewton has pulled Platformer from #Substack, who are finding out you can’t casually walk back a position of supporting Nazis.

[infosec.exchange/@seanedevane] Finally built out a dark mode theme I'm reasonably happy with and made it work nice in Nuxt 3.

[werd.io/profile/benwerd] I’ve spent much of my career telling organizations that they should publish in a space that they control, on their own domain name.My usual argument is that it shields you from major changes in company policy, or even from the platform you’re depending on from going out of...

[phpc.social/@pboivin] For a long time, my website was a simple page with contact information. It served me well but recently, I started itching for something more.

[mastodon.surazal.net/@zalasur] I just thought of an idea for my next vlog. I doubt it will be a topic I can cover in less than fifteen minutes.

[jeremycherfas.net] This is Part I of a two-part rant about podcasting. It was triggered by Tim Chambers linking to the summary podcast stats at Listen Notes.

[manton.org] Finally figured out why I hadn’t had much luck with edited posts on Micro.blog making their way to Mastodon. Mastodon requires an “updated” date, not just “published”. Fine, but these are the little things that make interoperability in the fediverse essentially trial... (https://www.manton.org/2024/01/12/finally-figured-out.html)

o.O "After waiting around 30 mins for the software to run, I had convinced almost all Mastodon, GoToSocial, and Akkoma instances to talk to my fake fediverse instance and gather their backend IP addresses as well as what DNS resolver that they use."
#
sknebel
not really surprising, is it?
#
aaronpk
guess not
#
barnaby
a similar analysis of indieweb sites would likely yield similar data
#
sknebel
a lot of them use the secret proxy service "webmention.io" to hide some of their federation traffic :P
