@aaronpk There is a tweet import! But I want to rethink it, because often importing thousands of tweets kind of overwhelms the normal blog posts. I may disable it until I can separate tweets out better.
ah yeah, having everything in one list would definitely get overwhelmed with tweets! A simple way to start might be to have a separate page on the site that has a list of only articles. -
100% related to this article that I'm going to try really hard to turn this into a promo-only account from now on. ("promo" meaning "promoting interesting projects or information"). If you want to engage with me as a person, follow me on Mastodon. (1/5)

Seems like a good opportunity to make a tweet archive import for micro.blog! I'm seeing a lot of people deleting their tweets after downloading their archive.

What do people use these days to plan complex, multi-stop personal travel? Are travel agents still a thing? Some fancy new app? Just internet a bunch and book it yourself?
Google flight search + a cocktail + a few hours on the couch -
That said, there has never been a better time to join the #IndieWeb and http://Micro.blog has made it easier than ever before. I can’t recommend it enough.

The service itself isn’t, but it’s built entirely on top of open standards like RSS, JSON Feed, Webmention, Microformats 2, Micropub, and other #IndieWeb tech. It’s the open web as it’s meant to be!

@Gargron whenever people use the argument that mastodon is somehow "too complicated" I like to encourage them to do a web search for "how to use facebook." there's like a gazillion tutorials, videos, online classes, training seminars, etc. the alternatives aren't inherently less complicated—it's just that tech folks have come to accept the way they work as the "default" and so that complication is invisible to them.

The thing to remember is that at some point in recent past nobody knew what e-mail was and people had to learn about. And before that personal computers were new and folks had to learn how to use them.
Not everything can be reduced to what you already know! Mastodon requires a tiny bit of extra knowledge because it differs from other social media platforms.

Here's an article about fun bot makers leaving Twitter. Both @aparrish and I are interested in it. https://slate.com/technology/2018/08/twitters-new-developer-guidelines-might-end-fun-bot-accounts.html

Is there any way to post a message SOLELY to your local timeline? That would be pretty cool.
I was actually just thinking the same thing but addressing a specific server. I wanted to say hi to all the xoxo.zone people but my account is on my own website! -

Shoutout to @indiewebcamp #indieweb from @jeckman. Smaller communities like this pushing for an open web. They need help bridging the gap w/ non-technical users. #wcpub
