I’ve come to the realization that one of my favorite (and most used) social feed readers is the IndieWeb Chat. I discover so many interesting people and so much great content there.
Notes
Short content: a microblog of status updates or short notes
Trying a slightly different method for cross posting from my website to Mastodon. If it works properly I’ll also see my website name as the posting client!
If you’re interested in microformats (in general) or web pages, data, and design relating to creating menus for restaurant web pages, there’s been some great conversation brewing in the microformats community over the past two weeks.
It’s a reasonably good example of how web standards are evolved for those who might like to see how the sausage is made (pun intended.)
Trying to do my part. Doing some postcarding to friends in my adopted home state of Georgia to support Jon Ossoff and Rev. Warnock.
If you live in Georgia and haven’t done so, mail your ballot back now!
Put the ugly Christmas sweater background on the blog for the holidays. Ho Ho Ho!
I really do like my tiny little ChapIce citrus orange lip balm. Seems a pity that it doesn’t come in a larger tube.
I’ve been thinking about syndicating replies to micro.blog lately. Is anyone using Post Kinds Plugin or other platforms and syndicating (POSSE) to m.b. in a way they like? The way mine work, micro.blog pulls in the reply context first and then my reply which isn’t ideal. I know I could put the reply context underneath (Post Kinds allows that), but then in short replies, it will also add the context underneath my reply which isn’t great either.
The real super-power feature missing from Roam Research?
My public Roam Research notebook being able to converse with someone elses’ (or any other page on the internet for that matter). Webmention support might solve this.
Reading about decentralized social media has imagining something like a giant web of independently networked Roam research-like pages where there’s a chat stream where we talk just like Twitter
But also you can post, which links back to a page with longer content

I know there’s a sub-community around pens and stationery on micro.blog. I don’t see it hiding in discovery. Is there a tagmoji for it (yet)?
The smell of Christmas tree in the house is both overwhelming and completely intoxicating.
I think my old avatar on the site was from 2013 and it was time for a newer one, so to help usher in 2021, here’s my updated photo with a few more wrinkles and a new grey hair.
How cool would it be if the Hemmingway app were also a Micropub client? I’d love to be able to use it to publish to a variety of websites.
I’ve randomly noticed an odd dip in the use of patriarchy, patriarchal, and feminism as words in Google’s nGram Viewer starting around a peak in 1999-2000 and continuing until 2008-2009. I’m curious what may have caused this? One could also add the word “gender” which shows a similar dip, but it tends to drown out the signal of the other three, so I’ve removed it here.
The one filter that Gobo.social is missing is the one for making the grey tombstones for filtered out posts disappear from the main timeline. No FOMO for Gobo please.
I spent some time tonight looking at Substack as a platform. It’s impressive just how many people I follow on Twitter use it as yet-another-platform to be on. I wonder how much duplication of content they’re generating? How I wish that everyone could simply have one canonical place to follow them.
One thing I find myself wanting is a discovery-based follow button for Microsub that would allow me to input either my own following list or even my Twitter account which would then parse through my Twitter follows to allow me to quickly follow the personal websites that appear in people’s Twitter website and bio fields.
