… und Blogs liest eh niemand – mkln.org
Drüben bei Michael ist ein langer guter Text erschienen, zum Thema 'eigene Website' und 'bloggen':
Wer einen Blogbeitrag veröffentlicht, will gelesen werden. Die Motivation dazu erfolgt ohne Eile und ohne Druck, getragen vom Willen zur Veröffentlichung. Social Media folgt einer anderen Logik. Dort dominiert die Lust auf Reaktion. Sie zwingt die User, die Regeln der Plattform-Ökonomie zu verinnerlichen. Sie spüren, dass etwas nicht stimmt, interagieren aber eifrig weiter und akzeptieren, dass ihre Inhalte zu Wegwerfprodukten werden und die Entwicklung eines Gedankens irrelevant ist. Das ist das exakte Gegenteil des Bloggens.
(…)Immerhin ist der Blogbeitrag das Epitom des Internets: ein unter einer stabilen URL frei abrufbarer, unabhängig ausgelieferter, einer Person zurechenbarer Inhalt. (…)
Während Blogbeiträge für die Ewigkeit geschrieben werden, sind Mitteilungen in sozialen Medien – der inhärenten Logik der Plattformen folgend – Wegwerfprodukte. Wenn ich mir das vor Augen führe, ist das Posten auf Social Media nicht nur in übertragenem Sinne, sondern auch faktisch verschwendete, vergeudete Zeit. Die Inhalte dort sind ein Strohfeuer, Blogbeiträge hingegen glühende Kohlen.
Beides hat seine Existenzberechtigung, ja, in gewisser Weise gibt es sogar eine Abhängigkeit beider zueinander. Aber eines ist deswegen nicht „veraltet“ oder in sonst einer Form passé. Das eine ermöglicht Dinge, die das andere verunmöglicht. (…)
mkln.orgDa schwingt sehr viel mit, was auch als Motivation und Philosophie beim Indieweb zugrunde liegt.

Good Internet Magazine
Good Internet is 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. The name Good Internet comes from Katie Baker's The Day the Good Internet Died, hopefully proving that headline wrong.

Hell, yes. Go subscribe if you can.

Blog: I imported my Instagram archive
Quite a bumpy road and it took way more time than I planned, but now I have my full Instagram archive on this blog. I do not care very much about my Facebook or Twitter history, but I’m really attached to these images, that take me back to earlier years. The content is mine now, […] …

Welcome to 2025!
15 years ago today I began posting notes on my own #indieweb site first, and only later on #socialMedia: https://tantek.com/2010/001/t1/declaring-independence-building-it
You can too.
I am once again encouraging you start the year with:
1. Getting a personal domain name
2. Posting on your own site first, then syndicating elsewhere: #POSSE
In 2025 there are even more neighborhoods with other people’s garages¹ to post into. Companies, servers, services, disappear all the time, taking all their posts and permalinks with them to graveyard 404².
This is your annual reminder to embrace #independent ownership of your online self, your creations, and their #longevity:
* Own your domain -> own your online identity
* Own your permalinks -> own your posts
Want help? Just ask: https://chat.indieweb.org/
#ownYourContent #ownYourData
Once again I am restarting a #100PostsOfIndieWeb #100Posts project for the year.
This is post 1.

I repeat for the folks in the back, why I'm putting my eggs in Obsidian (or projects with that mindset) even with the downside compared to Notion/Anytype/etc :
“Why a file format?
- Files enable longevity. Databases get turned off. Files live forever.
- Files enable easy migration between tools, fighting vendor lock-in.” -

Adding to my TODO list: have a look at XSLT again. Seems obsolete? I'd say absolutely not. Especially for running your own website which is getting more and more a thing 💜 #ownYourContent
For example, look at the tetralogical feed. The XML atom feed is nicely transformed into a little site: https://tetralogical.com/feed.xml
Apart from this, I'd recommend that feed super much when you want to learn more about #a11y

What would the users of both platforms do if Medium and Substack suddenly closed, or they did something super-shady with all of the user data and content that they both have? I wonder this most times I see either domain linked here now.
Not everyone is a web developer, I get that, but self-hosting doesn’t have to involve too much fucking around with code. Worth it to own your content for life, surely?
Example with #SvelteKit:

This whole resurgence of the #personalWebsite and #ownYourContent made me feel like I kind of missed the golden age of getting your content seen and read on quality alone instead of resorting to gaming the system with clickbait and excessive SEO while working less on what you want to and more on what fits the users on platforms. 😔
Did we kind of become dependent on algorithms and recommended pages to sift through all the heartless junk out there? 🤔

In last two weeks I deleted my accounts from Clubhouse, Vero, Flickr, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Medium. I moved to Mastodon and Pixelfed. Also I created self hosted instance of writefreely (writefreely.social) and moved there all articles from Medium. #ownyourcontent

People I trust on here are speaking out on the importance of owning your content.
Most say start building content on a platform you control (a personal blog). Then disperse the content from there to other platforms (Mastodon, etc.)
Anyone work at it from the OPPOSITE way? Have a worker process pulls in all social media posts into your own backup system?
Either way, the concept interests me! Share if you have a process that works well for you.

Hi there. I fully agree with your opinion to #P2P. While I think that the federated nature of the #fediverse is still better than the siloes of #bigtech that we have to endure today, it still has flaws. With P2P we can achieve more.
I made a (still very alpha) GitHub repo called ItIsMine. It is about how to get a better system for #web and #socialmedia that allows us to #ownyourcontent and prevent any vendor or platform lock in.
Any input very welcome!

Hi, Rodion. Nice to meet you, and thanks for this hint, I appreciate your support. I'm currently finalizing an #opensource project to help people #ownyourcontent and have peer reviewed content from learners for learners. I will add your information to the list.
Have a good time and see you later. 🤝

The drive to get off third party platform continues... turns out I wrote 120 odd posts on my first blog site... hosted on wordpress 🤦🏽...
This excellent utility will convert all those posts into markdown and even scrape all the images from your posts... https://github.com/lonekorean/wordpress-export-to-markdown #wordpress #markdown #ownyourcontent -

@hacks4pancakes well, it is a bloody smart piece of advice. #ownyourdata #ownyourcontent #twexit

@harmag I guess there's one other even more radical form of doing #socialmedia and that is the distributed one. I got into checking this out while working on solutions to achieve my personal goal of #ownyourcontent. Distributed social networks like SSB (Secure Scuttlebutt) and others are really fascinating me but I still don't see or understand how they might reach the maturity of the #fediverse. For me #centralized big #tech silos are a no longer a valid option.

@asous Hi Marcelo. Nice to meet you here. 🤝 I'm a beginner in Software Development and started with learning to #code earlier this year. I'm a fan of #opensource projects and currently underway to set up my first two projects as a maintainer. I have not much content out so far, but it will be for dev's and non dev's in the niche of supporting people to learn new skills, building in public and how to #ownyourcontent. I might also blog about #painting and #foody stuff.

@alexstandiford Hi Alex. A great read and very helpful for all #twitter migrants. Thanks for posting this! 🤛 Following this guide saves you a lot of headaches. I'm currently not at the stage of a full migration, but I bookmarked the article for later reference. I highly recommend everyone to give it a read. It's well worth your time. 👍 #fediverse #Mastrodon #Fosstrodon #ownyourcontent #nolockin

@jeroen94704 Hi Jeroen. I could not agree more. 🤝 I always was a friend and advocate of #ownyourcontent and the prevention of vendor and platform #lock. Because of the recent turbulences after the #twitter takeover I started looking around for a better way to do #socialmedia. The #fediverse has a huge potential to let us break out from the headlock of big #Tech and the advertising industry. If we manage to make it easier and convenient for mainstream users, they will follow in droves.

@psyonara Hello Helmut. Thanks for this tip. I'm more than ever looking to escape from any vendor and platform lock-in and a fan of #ownyourcontent. I will sure check this out. Have a great day 🍀

Sure. A solution to help with #ownyourcontent that let's me craft messages and posts for social media local and then push them to the corresponding platforms. Second is a solution to export, manage and share browser favorites to a centralized place in form of badges. Kind of a web jumpstation. Goal is to make it shareable with other. Prett bold for a newbie, but it will be #opensource so many can help if they like.

@matthiasott Hi Matthias. Do you have any experience with #activitypub? I started setting up an #opensource project to learn and #buildinpublic. First idea is to build something that helps with #ownyourcontent and combines various ActivityPub components and existing services. If you know people that could be interested in joining the boat please share or ask them to contact me. Would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance. 🤛
