IndieWeb of course involves owning your data, but...
Thanks to the IndieWeb developers,
Webmention permits you to use your blog to reply to posts on other blogs,
and also to repost, like and favorite them,
Micropub makes your website accesible to making these actions (and of course, reading posts) via social readers, which blur the line between feed reader and your regular social media app,
IndieAuth allows you to log into other sites using credentials from your site,
Your website can be subscribed via WebSub,
Post may be of different types - linked in another comment of mine.
Long story short - IndieWeb blurs the line between traditional blogging and social media - getting more social features, but without relying on silos of corporate social media, on your Fediverse instance provider, or on Mastodon monoculture. Both IndieWeb and the Fediverse pursue similar goals, but with somewhat different (although open-source) protocols. Many types of content supported by IndieWeb microformats and types may be IMHO inspiring for the next big Fediverse project. And, of course, both IndieWeb and the Fediverse would benefit greater interoperation between each other.
I wish I could wrap my head around this. Company goes from “love is sharing a password” to we’re going to charge extra for any connections outside what we determine to be your home network.
And the customers keep coming.
It feels like we just accept whatever abuse companies push to us, we open our wallets and say take whatever you want.
Yeah, I'm over here looking for my new home. I have always been more of a lurker and consumer than poster, but it's early here... feels like I should attempt to help out.
The whole API showdown is why I started looking, the AMA moved up the timeline :)
I'm honestly surprised to hear this. With the massive drop in quality in Netflix-produced content, with huge swaths of their licensed content being removed every month, and with how unpopular these decisions were, I'm surprised that there's still people wanting to subscribe to Netflix in the first place.
That sounds like a lot, but how much content of value would be lost in this move? It sounds like most of these domains were probably being used for jokes/spam purposes, so honestly I imagine that there's some much-needed cleanup that also goes down with such a sweep.
I'm not that surprised tbh. Despite the complaining it makes sense that most of the password sharers would just pay for new subs if they liked the content. I guess we'll see if they continue to see these people sub or not in the long term.
Yup, the API debacle sent me searching and the AMA solidified it. Checking out Kbin today in advance of tomorrow's blackout. Hoping to be able to contribute here and help get this off the ground!
Such a bad idea. But Twitter is leaking money, and they are refusing to pay their Google Cloud Bills. This slow death of Twitter is getting boring, can it just hurry up and die?
