Replied to Mentioning for Webmention practice by Stephen Locker (sjlocks.com)
Thank you, Jeremy, for helping me along on getting these tools figured out. Very few things about the web have excited me as much as learning about the IndieWeb work that has been ongoing.
Stephen, I came across your post via your comments on Jeremy’s site and noticed that you're in the LA area. It's been a while since I've done a Homebrew Website Club meetup here, and to my knowledge I don't think anyone has ever done a micro.blog meetup here. Would you be interested in attending or…
Read Reply to: Microcast #081 – Anarchy, Federation, and the IndieWeb by John JohnstonJohn Johnston (johnjohnston.info)
Thanks very much for taking the time to give your take on the IndieWeb. It was both interesting and valuable. There are a few rabbit holes to dive down. I’ve not read much Anarchism since Kropotkin and that a long time ago. After leaving this reply for a fair time and a couple of listens my response is still a disconnected series of ramblings. Not arguing against anything you said but bouncing off some corners.
I am testament to the fact that some of the [IndieWeb] technology can be used in a fairly careless fashion. ❧ Compared to where things were just a few years ago, this is huge. Annotated on January 12, 2020 at 12:00PM
Replied to Now supporting Webmention by Jeremy Felt (jeremyfelt.com)
I think? If you know how to send a Webmention, please do so that I know it works!
Congratulations on getting things up and running! Hopefully it wasn't too complicated, though we could always use help as a community in making the UI and details easier. I know that David Shanske has been working on making a new pass to integrate Semantic Linkbacks into the Webmention plugin so that there's only one plugin…

I do something like this on my own website. Post issues there so I can own the data (and tags) and control the details and notes and syndicate a copy to GitHub. I've documented some of it here: Enabling two way communication with WordPress and GitHub for Issues. Others have done it as well: https://indieweb.org/issue.…

There's definitely a Webmention plugin for Craft which was written by Matthias Ott, but it's only compatible with v2 and not v3. See also: https://twitter.com/search?q=from%3A%40m_ott+webmention+craft There's an IndieWeb stub page for Statamic, but no examples of usage yet. I'm curious to hear what you think of them after playing a bit.

Interesting diagram of set up for an IndieWeb site.
Read Code of Conduct (OpenETC)
A draft of the proposed OpenETC code of conduct, posted for community feedback. If you have any feedback or questions on this code, please leave a comment using Hypothesis.
📑 Highlights and Annotations draft of the proposed OpenETC code of conduct ❧ When making a CoC, it's always nice to spend some time researching others. Here's a copy of the IndieWeb's CoC, which I've liked. They also documented a list of other CoC's for other communities that might be worth looking at as well.…
Read webmentions and microsub (gopher.floodgap.com)

This phlog is about web stuff. Specifically it's about Indyweb things and microformats.

I use my website https://tomasino.org as an IndieAuth [0] portal. When logging into sites that understand the IndieWeb concept, I provide my "Home" URL as an identifier. Then the site scrubs through all the various links I have on that page and picks out those that it can understand for authentication. In most cases I get GPG and GitHub hits, though occasionally a site will support more. I oAuth in, and bam... identified. It's pretty neat and requires very little effort on my side.

IndieWeb with Gopher. Not sure if this will send a Webmention correctly though...
Read We're closing Crosscut's comment section. Here's why — and what's next by Ana Sofia Knauf, Anne Christnovich, Mohammed Kloub (crosscut.com)
With the rise of social platforms and an uptick in threatening comments, the newsroom is taking reader engagement in a different direction.
We analyzed our Disqus data and we found that roughly 17,400 comments were made on our site in 2019, but 45% came from just 13 people. That data tells us that social media, email, phone calls, letters to the editor, our Crosscut events and an occasional visit to the newsroom are far better tools for…
Read 6 examples of newsroom-library collaborations (International Journalists' Network)
Journalists provide quality information. Librarians help people find quality information. Both fields are rooted in promoting civic engagement. Both are contextual experts in the communities they serve. And both are working to reinvent themselves in the digital world.
It just makes sense that news outlets and libraries collaborate. That’s something we at the News Co/Lab have believed from the beginning, and it’s something we’ve seen work very well in our partnerships ❧ Perhaps this is a good incubator for the idea Greg McVerry and I have been contemplating in which these institutions help…
Read A return to blogs (finally? sort of?) by Joanne McNeil Joanne McNeil (Nieman Lab Predictions for Journalism 2020 )
One reason we might see a resurgence of blogs is the novelty. Tell someone you’re starting a new newsletter and they might complain about how many newsletters (or podcasts) they already subscribe to. But tell them you’re launching a blog and see how that goes: Huh. Really, a blog? In 2020? Wow.
I almost want to call her to task, but Joanne has got her own website that looks like it's part of tilde.club including an under construction image at the bottom of the page! How cool is that?! I do find myself wishing that she kept her own writing in a blog so I could subscribe…

“So, RSS fans, particularly those who wish google hadn't shuttered reader: what would you pay to have it back as an indieweb project?”
I'd definitely go up to the $75/year range for a solid full-featured reader like Feedly or Inoreader but that included Micropub and Microsub infrastructure. (See also Using Inoreader as an IndieWeb feed reader.) Looking at the current responses it seems like most respondents don't have a very solid conceptualization of how to define "indieweb". Almost none…

How do you know that the IndieWeb has arrived? Neologisms like "indiewebspiration".
