Loqi [phpc.social/@sven] I’ve been in a bit of a writing slump lately. My journal gets neglected nearly every day, and I feel like whatever I *do* write is kind of mediocre at best. ... (https://phpc.social/@sven/112205851206196507)

# Loqi [mastodon.social/@jcolag] On my blog: Spinning(?) the Indie Web https://john.colagioia.net/blog/2024/04/03/indieweb-4.html - A (surprise) three-week update on my exploration of Indie Web technologies and where things stand. #blog #indieweb #programming #techtips (https://mastodon.social/@jcolag/112207065319254958)
# Loqi [pkm.social/@pd] @pirsch @mikewink Would love to use something like @pirsch or @plausible or @usefathom but, unless you’re running 10s of sites, I can’t make the pricing model work for #IndieWeb projects. GA sucks, so I’m stuck with Cloudflare Analytics, which isn’t as nice as these... (https://pkm.social/@pd/112207178307810459)

# Loqi [pkm.social/@pd] @pirsch How about a pricing tier for individual, personal sites? You’d be the only company offering that. You’d hoover up lots of #indieweb users looking to leave GA behind. Half-decent marketing tactic. (https://pkm.social/@pd/112207491993758153)

# Loqi Goodbye Micro.blog
Micro.blog is a promising concept, but there is much room for improvement. I am tired of waiting.

# Loqi [islandinthenet.com] micro.blog (µblog), has positioned itself as a platform aligning with the IndieWeb community. While its intentions are commendable, there are opportunities for improvement to enhance the overall user experience.... (https://islandinthenet.com/a-users-perspective-on-micro-blog/)
# Loqi [shellsharks.social/@shellsharks] I recently got the idea to document the "Architecture" of my site from this post https://matklad.github.io/2021/02/06/ARCHITECTURE.md.html. It details a proposal for open source projects to maintain an ARCHITECTURE.md file that describes a number of things related to high-level...

# Loqi [remotelab.uk/@mikebell] This is a pretty damning look at google - https://retrododo.com/google-is-killing-retro-dodo/
It's also why the #indieweb is so important. I fear it's too late though. (https://remotelab.uk/@mikebell/112208852532194923)
# Loqi [social.sdf.org/@mjgardner] IMHO tying your #publishing business model to #Google search traffic is not very different than tying your online content to a third-party publishing host platform like #Medium or #SocialNetwork like #Facebook. You’re relying on the network effect from an aggregator whose... (https://social.sdf.org/@mjgardner/112208710212890879)

# Loqi [mas.to/@Quinn9282] This is incredibly sad. An #independent #publication that worked so hard to build up an audience over 5 years is at risk of going under because of #Google Search's algorithm changes last September drastically deranked them in search results, causing their organic site traffic to...

# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "sad is that they depended on Google to exist" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "sad is that they depended on Google to exist is ____", a sentence describing the term)

# Loqi [tweesecake.social/@weirdwriter] And also, I encourage you, or anybody else, really, to take a day and try these different directories. Link at end, but I was trying to find the website that showed only weird websites, like a site that would play a cat meow every time you clicked a link, but I can't find that...
