  1. The Case Against Share Buttons

    Back in The New Leaf Journal's early days, I had share buttons on my articles. I eventually removed them in part because I did not think they added anything useful to my site and in part because of a certain Pinterest incident. I had not thought about them in some time, but I nevertheless read Derek Hanson's Nobody clicks your share buttons with interest (HT Ankur Sethi). Mr. Hanson cited to evidence that few people click share buttons because they can easily share links using native tools […]

  5. Hi @ibestuur,

    Ik vind het heel cool dat jullie zo'n prominente goedwerkende social mediasharebutton naar Mastodon hebben!

  7. Hi @beeldengeluid,

    Ik bekeek de #Schatkamer. Cool! Ziet er #POSSE uit!

    Verzoek: Kunnen jullie ook je #Mastodon account toevoegen bij de #socialmedia #sharebuttons?

    Jullie zijn immers coallitiepartner van @publicspaces:

    Ik zie nu alleen vier share buttons naar #privacy-schendend #bigtech:

  10. @voltnederland Ik zie op de pagina met het statement wel #ShareButtons voor privacyschendend #BigTech, maar niet voor het door publieke waarden gedreven #Mastodon. Kunnen jullie dit aanpassen?

  12. Snow on the Way

    It’s going to snow tonight. Crap. I was going to see if Jen and Harry wanted to go for a drive to look at xmas lights, but now I just want to pull a blanket over my head and hide until the weather clears. I mean, winter officially starts at like 4:00am tomorrow morning. It’s bound to snow eventually. That doesn’t mean I have to like it.

    I did a couple of goofy things with this little bloggie today. This post will serve as a bit of a test for one of them. I added a couple of new share buttons. Bluesky and Threads (and Mastodon? Did I add that one too?) are new, and Tumblr was re-added after being removed at least once. I removed twitter/x as well because fuck that musk prick. Fuck him right in his fucking eye. I tested the Bluesky and Threads buttons and they work. I also set new posts to automatically post to Bluesky. When I publish this literary tome I will see if it worked.

    Another change, which is internal and should only be viewable by me, is that I think I hooked up to Google Analytics. I’ve had that option for ages now but I never did it. I am at heart a stats geek, so why didn’t I? It seems like I am too late as my engagement stats (the ones built into wordpress.com) are down something like 70% since they peaked back in February. Allow me to make the same caveat I make every time I mention this page’s stats… I really don’t care about the stats, I am just a numbers nerd and like to mess around with them. Also, and definitely most importantly, being down 70% from a very small, some might say microscopic, number is just another small, microscopic, number, dig it? This is not one of those blogs that sees a gajillion hits an hour. I consider myself lucky when I average one hit an hour and in my experience that would be a lot. In other words, I am in no way interested in drumming up business with insipid brain droppings, dig? Like I said twice before in this post, I just like playing with numbers. I have a Computer Science degree for cripes sake. Numbers are fun. Whatever, I am curious if linking up to Google Analytics a) worked, and b) will show me anything fun. I’ll probably write 100000 posts about it over the next few days (assuming it worked, of course).

    All of these changes are internal but they might be a hint that a bloggie shake up is coming, and you know what that means… that means I am probably going to start messing with the theme and the layout. Sometimes Robert just cannot stop himself, you know?

    What the hell was I talking about? I can’t remember. Oh yeah, it’s going to snow tonight. Doesn’t that suck? I think that sucks.

    Oh well. I am going to click Publish now. Here’s hoping we cross post over to the ol’ Bluesky Social. Wish the bloggie luck……….

    same account for multiple instances

    This in its pure, nomadic form and with proven stability is only available on Hubzilla and (streams) anyway.

    They're also the only ones whose instances can detect off-site users' logins and grant them rights that other visitors don't have, provided said off-site users are on either of the two or Friendica. All thanks to OpenWebAuth.

    @Mike Macgirvin 🖥️, creator of all three and maintainer of the streams repository, is currently working on implementing nomadic identity and (streams)' set of permissions using nothing but ActivityPub so it can become available to everything else in the Fediverse as well.

    share to fediverse

    I'm not quite sure, but I think @Stefan Bohacek or someone who commented on one of his posts has figured out how to share at least to Hubzilla.

    However, actual share buttons are all geared only towards Mastodon and hit-and-miss at best when it comes to anything else. The less something is like Mastodon, the less they work with it.

  16. Good morning everyone.

    After supporting The Guardian for years I cancelled my #subscription this morning.

    The reason is simple: #TheGuardian refuses to support #Mastodon by simply adding #sharetomastodon buttons on their stories.

    The #Guardian only has #Facebook & #Twitter #sharebuttons and most of their #journalists are only on #oligarchy owned #socialmedia.

    This is unacceptable to me.

    I’ll cancel all my #subscriptions to similar #media.

  17. @eliza ik heb een heel kleine site (in Wordpress.com) waarop ik wel share buttons heb voor Mastodon: tricoteusesamsterdam.wordpress

    Maar ik geef toe, ik zie ze verder ook nergens!

    Dese sharebuttons zijn beschikbaar bij Wordpress.com (via Tools-marketing) en er is meen ik ook een plugin voor Wordpress.org.
