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/

Once again I am restarting a #100PostsOfIndieWeb #100Posts project for the year.
This is post 1.

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.

@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
