i am imagining, someday, that the website league is populated by a lot of people who just have straight-up blogs.

it would be entirely doable. fediverse software with no timeline and long character limits. good design, few or one users per instance. it's a blog but people can share it, and you see their replies as comments

fluffy @fluffy9/23/2024, 5:50 AM

This is literally the primary goal of IndieWeb, and there's a shitload of software that supports this already.

I wrote a thing a few years back about some first steps people can take to join in.

that sounds amazing actually.

ruby @srxl9/23/2024, 5:59 AM

sounds like writefreely i think?

edit: not sure if the reply bit works actually. it's planned, but the last demo they have doesn't show it
edit 2: going off this issue, nope

This is what I’d eventually like to get working with my site. Need ti figure out what’s actually out there as far as generic activitypub libraries

John Colagioia @jcolag9/23/2024, 12:11 PM

It's not at all trivial to set up for a lot of sites, but the Indie Web protocols https://indieweb.org/Getting_Started come fairly close to completely distributed social networking, though at the obvious expense that everybody needs a persistent domain name.

fluffy @fluffy9/24/2024, 2:25 AM

Owning your own domain isn't particularly important though. A subdomain is fine, and also a subdirectory on a parent domain such as tilde.club is also usable (although some tools do unfortunately assume one domain per user, but the protocols as a whole are built around the identity URL being the only important thing).

it looks like there's a wordpress plugin... might have to play with this, really cool idea 🤔

Bruno Dias @bruno9/23/2024, 12:15 PM

What's the state of software for interacting with this, nowadays? Your blog post talks about Wordpress plugins and setup with static generators, but the link to 'Publ' seems dead.

fluffy @fluffy9/24/2024, 2:23 AM

Oh, sorry, I need to update the link to Publ. I recently abandoned my domain that I was using to collect my IndieWeb projects. The projects are still alive and well, and Publ in particular is what I use for publishing most of my websites (such as https://beesbuzz.biz/ and https://novembeat.com/).

It's basically a nice little framework for building sites with structured content for situations where a static site generator isn't quite enough but where a full-on Enterprise CMS is overkill.

the two routes from the crossroads are "gnu social" and "semantic web"

Maff @maff9/23/2024, 6:22 PM

semantic web is always the right choice. i will always be ride or die for semantic web. xhtml was g—[ i am summarily executed ]

fluffy @fluffy9/24/2024, 2:26 AM

xhtml was kind of misguided, but mf2 (the underlying interchange format used by most IndieWeb protocols) is a much more reasonable approach for adding semantics to HTML.

Maff @maff9/24/2024, 3:36 PM

it was a joke in that i actually do like xhtml still

fluffy @fluffy9/25/2024, 3:04 AM

I mean I like the idea of XHTML as well, but in practice it just meant "HTML but add a bunch of spurious /s on self-closing tags and still continue to never validate," so it didn't solve anything and has only made parsing modern HTML5 even more complicated because of shit like <br/> and <link/> and <img/> everywhere.
