Martijn You won't find me on Mastodon any time soon, as I have given up my believe in OStatus. I would love to be proven wrong, but until I am I will stick to the ideas of indieweb.org as those are closer to how I think the 'net should interconnect.

Charlie What issues do you find with ostatus?
Martijn I never understood why ActivityStreams would be good for websites to have, when AS isn't conveyed in HTML. I write a lot of the HTML on my blog by hand (so I can fuss over every little semantic detail of a blockquote) and it is just way easier to throw in some microformats that make the feed parsable then to make sure some secondary JSON/ATOM format comes into existence.
Kodo I still think xml is better than json for documents
Charlie Ah, good point. I'm not a fan of XML, but I see the use of HTML purely for formatting purposes.
👽 Paul Webb Oh wow, I've heard of this but never checked it out. Huh, looks awesome.
John Olinda I'd like to rebuild my blog around IndieWeb when I have some down time. I love being able to post from mobile though, so it'll have to stay compatible with WordPress or something similar. I'm considering changing my VPS host, so if I do that'll be an ideal time to rebuild around IndieWeb.
Kodo indieweb makes you run your own site/domain and I am entirely toooo lazy for that :P
Mark Dain Is it possible to still use IndieWeb with a subdomain? So you could have kodo.example.com where that's a free resource for doing IndieWeb status and auth?
Kodo I guess that's possible. there are lots of wordpress plugins and stuff. regardless of the path you go it's all very hands-on I'm close personal friends of the indieweb founders, so I'm totally supportive of the movement. it's just not for me heh :P
👽 Paul Webb Hmm, it'd be nice if they had a 1-click installer or something close to that. That's how you drive usership.
👽 Paul Webb Hmm, interesting. Looks like a lightweight tumblr.
Martijn Probably looks that way because they have spent some good time on implementing post types as first class citizens: indieweb.org/posts...
