Cool things you can do in Mastodon and perhaps you weren't aware of:
* Create an RSS link from any Mastodon profile
* Validate your profile easily using your personal domain
* Use a column interface à là Tweetdeck (RIP)

New post: An Internet Archive Plugin for Craft CMS 5

"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 https://werd.io/2025/my-new-daily-blog
Inspired by @anarodrigues 's blog post earlier this week, I wrote about how my website welcomes view-source explorers.
In the same way that Sam Altman ignores copyrighted content to train his models, in the exact same way I am tempted to just copy and paste to my website what @hdv posted here. Well put, man!
I recently celebrated 10 years of my blog and published a section about my relationship with AI in the context of writing.
New post:
Webmention for Craft CMS 5

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

In defense of the for...of loop
Despite its introduction in ES2015 and implementation in all browsers over 8.5 years ago, I still see .forEach used in favor of the modern for...of loop. [...]
this is it, folks! we are in the final week before submissions are due for GOOD INTERNET, a new print periodical magazine about all the things that make the #web fun: things like the #smallweb, the fediverse, the #indieweb, and efforts to actively fight #enshittification. submissions are open until MARCH 15.

Are there any #indieweb folks in the Columbus, Ohio area?
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!

Recent Chris Hayes interview on Marc Maron podcast namechecks RSS, “Really Simple Syndication,” web pages, and open protocols. My girlfriend: “how’s it feel to hear your arguments parroted back to you?” Roughly 50 minutes in. #IndieWeb #RSS https://www.wtfpod.com/podcast/episode-1621-chris-hayes
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.
@matthiasott @sergi Kagi.com seems use the amount of tracking scripts as a ranking factor. More scripts = lower quality content. That way you also find those little blogs from people that write really good content. Which is probably right up your #indieweb alley 
I've complettely revamped my site again! It's now #BuiltWithEleventy and has a proper blog with a tagging system and everything!
Also: what would deem the best semantic #HTML structure for displaying #Webmentions? Are they an ordered list? A few <p>s? What about <article>s, maybe inside a <section>? Or just a lazy bunch of <div>s (
)? #indieweb
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 @ https://goodinternetmagazine.com!
(please boost if you can! <3 getting the word out helps so much!)
Published a small blog post about my recent journey into simple web analytics.

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: https://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
