@smith There are a few APIs. We're considering it! But also want to make sure any support for Mastodon stays true to what Micro.blog is about. Probably won't rush into anything until the dust settles.

People continued working on it. Everything you need using W3C standards like Webmention, Microformats2…give it a try? https://IndieWeb.org/WordPress/Plugins

Pearl-clutching twitter users: but what if the hobbyist sysadmin gives up on my mastodon instance?

Programming is great because you can just take that huge messy chuck from the middle of your function and hide it away under a new name in a new function and feel good about how you "cleaned up" the original function by abstracting the internals.
This is exactly how I used to clean my room as a kid - I'd refactor all the junk on the floor to be under my bed. Boom - problem solved.

@aaronpk Nice to meet you at #devconf! I already understand micro.blog’s Webmention model better than I did when I first wrote this, but if you’re curious where I started: http://micro.blog/jd/803408 and my current question about “re-mentions” that we discussed in person: https://micro.blog/jd/806147 I know these are both specific to micro.blog but I’m very interested in how Webmentions can gel well wtih centralized services like micro.blog in general.

Good to meet you as well! I'll take a look at those links soon!

How about if, instead of ditching Twitter for Mastodon, we all start blogging and subscribing to each other's Atom feeds again instead? The original distributed social network could still work pretty well if we actually start using it

I keep wanting to “like” things here…but I don’t want to favourite them. I’ve been trained not to comment but star on social media and it’s not easy to untrain yourself.

Yeah the indieweb community have been thinking about this for a while - it seems like this should be their moment to shine, I'm not sure why Mastodon is getting all the attention (at least in the Twitter circles I follow)

I have started to think of Micro.blog as a wonderful discovery and aggregation service for the IndieWeb. It fits neatly into my Microsub reader, enables me to find new people to follow and interact with, and integrates perfectly with my website through Webmentions. 👏🏻
