  • Does my blog need to support ActivityPub?

    I have my reservations about whether or not blogs (specifically my blog) should federate content via ActivityPub. Isn’t RSS enough?

  • Pixelfed is about to have a moment

    This morning I checked in on Pixelfed, the ActivityPub-powered Instagram alternative. I had created a profile on an instance in 2021 and I check in from time-to-time to see how it is coming along. All told, the experience is fair. But I’m far more excited by how well it is connecting to other platforms. An…

I’ve always wanted separate fediverse accounts for my personal projects such as Stupid, Stripe Transfer, etc. but the thought of managing those didn’t seem fun.

By crossing the chasm, the momentum gained usually enables the technology to find market fit. Most protocols, standards,…

  • Blogging is alive and well

    Oh man am I happy! People that hadn’t written on their blog in a long time are blogging again. Websites that hadn’t been updated in many years, some over a decade, are being spruced up and published to again. And popular news outlets are publishing articles about blogging.

  • Observations on Mastodon

    I’ve been fiddling with Mastodon (to the tune of over 500 toots as of this writing). I’ve also been reading up on the history of the service a lot over the last few weeks. Here are some general observations that I’ve made along with a few helpful links. Mastodon isn’t a single service. It is an…
