Loqi [bsky.app/profile/dog.labeledrude.online] Every so often i realize someone linked to one of my articles on their blog and i have zero working way to know because search engines suck and the war on privacy is so bad my privacy-respecting stats don't help...

ulhar4409 snickering at this one in my head a little
#
ulhar4409 "indieweb cruft" in this case seems to be "literally just webmentions"
#
ulhar4409 I've seen people invite webmentions with as little as a web form on their articles, such that the "sending" site doesn't even have to be aware of webmentions as a concept :P

#
ulhar4409 I wonder, should the stream try to exclude bsky posts originating from handles like *.ap.brid.gy?
#
[capjamesg] That’s a good point. I can add that exclusion if we want.

aaronpk Also can you update the author names to remove the bsky.app/profile part so it's just the handle?
#
[capjamesg] I have just made both of these changes.

Loqi [bsky.app/profile/cassiterite.bsky.social] hey #indieweb idk what's going on with Neocities but this is just a reminder that they're not the only free host out there, not even close! there's so many it can be hard to choose tbh. this article lists some you might want to look into: codeless.co/best-free-ht...

Loqi [@autumnstuff] Neocities is down!! #neocities #indieweb (https://mastodon.social/@autumnstuff/116698072575787042)
#
[tantek] ^ oh no for real? Is there a status page we can link to from /Neocities?
#
[capjamesg] The status page is also down 😞 https://status.neocities.org/
#
[capjamesg] That explains why I couldn’t access a Neocities site earlier.
#
[capjamesg] https://www.reddit.com/r/neocities/comments/1txjory/neocities_is_currently_fully_down_possibly/ has some commentary.
#
[capjamesg] Looks to be a Cloudflare issue.
#
[capjamesg] Wow no scratch that.

Loqi ok, I added "blog post: https://knot.tilman.me/post/indiewebcamp-dusseldorf-2026/ " to the "See Also" section of /2026/D%C3%BCsseldorf https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=111377&oldid=110707
#
[tantek] Worth documenting the threat vector that Neocities is talking about
#
[capjamesg] I don’t know if it’s related but I can’t see https://bsky.app/profile/neocities.org
#
[capjamesg] The page stalls on loading.
#
[tantek] Especially noting it as an incident on /Namecheap
#
[capjamesg] Not sure if that’s just me or something to do with their DNS.
#
[tantek] Their bsky post you cited says DNS / Namecheap [capjamesg] !
#
[capjamesg] I mean that their Bluesky profile page doesn’t load.
#
[capjamesg] Does a Bluesky profile page depend on DNS?

thestudyofstarlight Loqi: Mastodon has shown itself in my experience to be anti-religious (particularly anti-Christian; they consider quoting from the Bible to be hate speech), anti-academic freedom, and *definitely* anti free speech in that the administrators frequency remove speech they don't like.

#
thestudyofstarlight Folks seem to forget that freedom of speech means freedom to say things others don't like; it's then up to those others to rebut, debate, or disprove, not suppress because they subjectively believe it's wrong.

thestudyofstarlight Mastodon is a non-starter. The admins at mastodon.social started removing my content because they claim it violates their policies, and nobody else will allow accounts from anywhere that requires age verification (i.e., Florida)

thestudyofstarlight [edit] Mastodon is a non-starter. The admins at mastodon.social started removing my content because they claim it violates their policies, and nobody else will allow accounts from anywhere that requires age verification (i.e., Florida). Have to use Threads for fediverse and most "independent" servers block _them_.
#
thestudyofstarlight For being all for "free internet" Mastodon admins are the most restrictive.
