Loqi [bsky.app/profile/kool.gv.uy] Hello Fediverse! I might just set up the ultimate open social web publishing workflow. Publish on IndieWeb, Bridgy POSSE to Bluesky, then Bridgy Fed to Fediverse (https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:r46eildr6uztgnr6bbwcnhrh/post/3mrtcjwwbj226)

#
Loqi [bsky.app/profile/suminocide.bsky.social] the indieweb (particularly the social media refugee demographic) go fucking nuts over their indieweb culture shit they don't realize it's just aesthetic cults all over again (https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:6nqco2bqtzqyftzr3x3xgpnx/post/3mru5nhdz7227)
#
Loqi [bsky.app/profile/suminocide.bsky.social] straight up like. the indieweb being computer-exclusive is like those coquette fashion boards only having white skinny girls for inspo. said it (https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:6nqco2bqtzqyftzr3x3xgpnx/post/3mru6cq6swk27)

#
[tantek] Anyone understand what that suminocide person is saying? Their bsky profile only allows logged in folks to see their posts (so how is the search seeing it and summarizing here?). Who are they responding to?
#
aaronpk is it about there not being indieweb mobile apps?
#
aaronpk oh it's a whole thread
#
aaronpk https://bsky.app/profile/suminocide.bsky.social/post/3mru64f4gos27
#
[tantek] ^ yeah I can't see that post
#
[tantek] Is "aesthetic cults" a reference to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_aesthetic perhaps and what that links to? Eg dark academia etc
#
[tantek] (And vaporwave too obv 😂)
#
[tantek] Is there a thread unrolled for bsky?
#
[tantek] unroller*
#
[tantek] I feel like this is one thing that [Jo] or Joe ([artlung] ) would have some opinions and insight on
#
[capjamesg] Apparently https://tbsky.app/

#
[tantek] WTF "phone chump"?!?
#
[tantek] Wow
#
[tantek] What is mobile first?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "mobile first" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "mobile first is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek] Wat

Loqi [@kantel] Phoenix Code: Das Werkzeug für meine Flucht ins IndieWeb... (https://mastodon.social/@kantel/117009508601672355)
#
[artlung] It's pretty idiomatic, but the thesis appears to be this: anyone making a cute webpage that can't be accessed on a phone (layout bad) is equivalent to the mean girls in Mean Girls. So if indieweb = people who make cute webpages THEN indieweb is a gatekeepy cult. This thesis is not supportable. I would say indieweb HIGHLY ENCOURAGES itself to be usable, readable, legible on any device at any resolution.
#
[artlung] so - phone chump might be someone without a computer, and would be a derogatory way the Straw Man indieweb person would refer to someone who doesn't have a computer to access a web page
#
Loqi [bsky.app/profile/handle.invalid] After a few very difficult weeks, a new project idea lifted my spirits last night. It may not be innovative, but it could be useful to the IndieWeb, and I’m excited by what I’ll learn while building something that helps others. (https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:iw5jw32bqqdf4bkbhotvf23m/post/3mrurcx4z4k42)
#
[capjamesg] Wow. bsky profiles can have “invalid handle”…

#
[artlung] yes, if upon last check, the domain no longer provides the necessary verification, the connection to verify a handle is also severed

#
[tantek] [artlung] ++ appreciate the calm dissection. I believe we have discussed "mobile first" enough as a "thing" (eg in IWC sessions) that it's deserving of its own page. I'll go dig through the wiki to see what I can stub

Loqi [gregorlove.com] I took a second pass at the indiebookclub UI I was working on. I kept getting stuck because I wanted to let people update the title/author/ISBN in case they were incorrect in Open Library, but I also thought that made the form feel too busy....

Loqi [bsky.app/profile/cowsites.net] but if you don't know where to start, following hashtags like #oldweb and #indieweb, and looking up people’s #neocities or #cowsites is a great start!! getting involved with the old web is an AMAZING way to say #fuckai as well <33 (https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:bfe5nsivwgpkp4ctsmbd7dur/post/3mrvmzapmfs2r)
