"I once shared extensively on social media, but the platforms have evolved. They now discourage sharing links that direct users to external sites. In response, I’ve returned to a more traditional approach." #Indieweb werd.io/2025/my-new-daily-blog

Some great points here about email newsletters — including that email open stats are starting to become unreliable due to AI and big tech like Apple screwing around with the inbox (no, email is not immune to enshittification!). All this is part of why I moved away from calling my site Cybercultural a "newsletter". I'm not exactly sure how to define Cybercultural currently, but it will involve fediverse as a community-driver going forward. #IndieWeb #WebLife2025

What I absolutely adore about the indie/ personal/ small web: Everybody's approach is very different. There are super modern looking websites and there are the ones who seem to come straight out of the 1990's/ early 2000's. There are ones that are specially made to work on the oldest computers. There are ones with and ones without Java Script. Ones made by pro web devs and ones made my people who are just starting to learn the basics. There are people who've been there from the beginning and those who are very new. And everything in between. People of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life.
In visiting personal websites you are seeing and experiencing the diversity of the world. And it's glorious!

I've been thinking for a while about adding comments to my blog by pulling them from other sources (like Mastodon replies) but I figured I was going to have to write some complicated logic to fetch them, save them to a cache, and invalidate them periodically.

I just noticed that's the *entire* thing eleventy-fetch already does! I am very excited to try this out sometime soon.

just under TWO WEEKS until the submission deadline for Good Internet magazine!

☂️ Good Internet launches in May 2025. it's a volunteer-run, not-for-profit print and digital quarterly magazine for personal website owners and those interested in using the internet as a means of self-expression, art, and recreation.

🔎 we're looking for 1,500 to 4,000 word articles about anything for that audience!

👉 this means #webdev hobbyists, digital (and traditional) #artists, #internet culture enthusiasts, #technology nerds, #socialmedia expatriates, & anyone who wants to unplug from the corporate-owned #web.

topics could be:

* internet history
* personal websites & blogs
* #accessibility on the #indieweb
* finding inspiration for a #blog
* #webdesign trends (current or old)
* running from the #enshittification of the web
* lessons or post-mortems from web projects
* news or overviews of #opensource projects
* #privacy on the indieweb

🔍 also looking for any #art submissions centered around the web, coding, internet culture, and digital art!

if it relates to hobbies on "this side of the web," we probably want to run it!

✨ you can have your article submitted as text and images only OR you can code a whole webpage that helps tell your story!

🌊 if you're interested in learning more, sign up for our email list or check out the submission guidelines @ goodinternetmagazine.com!

🙏 (please boost if you can! <3 getting the word out helps so much!)

The premium subscription era is over on Cybercultural. I just refunded the subscribers I had (there weren’t that many), with a note that since I'm publishing all the content for free now on my website, the premium subscription model no longer makes sense.

I've started up a Ko-fi page for small donations: ko-fi.com/cybercultural. Over time, I plan to turn that into a proper supporters network — including offering some merch! But that's an entirely new project. #IndieWeb
