Orgs supporting NFTs and crypto: Twitter, Discord and Adobe (Big Tech, centralised)
Projects opposing it: Mastodon, Zulip and Kritta (open source, decentralised)
If you think crypto and NFTs will democratise the internet, wonder why Big Tech likes it and decentralised OS doesn't

A history of social networks:
1: Let's connect everyone! People are good! It will be great!
2: Oh shit
3: okay, we need to spend an awful lot of time and thought stopping people from being dicks
Web3: bake all the incentives into code and give all the worst users votes

Inspired by yesterday's @IndieWebCamp, I reorganised webmentions on my blog for likes and reposts to be a list of names rather than just output what looks like 'comment'. Through a couple of fairly ugly hacks, it saves lots of space!

inspired by @csswizardry @btconf, tried ct.css on my homepage (had to disable HTTP CSP), & only 1 green box!

No <script> in <head>, no problem.

If you support Progressive Enhancement (all sites should), scripts can go at end of body, right before </body>

web1 maintained strong decentralization of web (http) and email (smtp) all via DNS. If a hosting provider behaved badly you could just switch your domain to point to a new IP and you didn’t lose any data or your position in the network.

OAuth allows both native apps and web apps to log in the same way. They probably both use the OAuth "authorization code" flow + refresh tokens. Super long expiry cookies are bad because they also last long if stolen. I recommend the Udemy course on OAuth by @aaronpk

Why Do We Really Need OAuth?
Even if you've never heard about OAuth, you've certainly used it in your daily life already. @aaronpk explained how OAuth makes life easier for app developers, and how it enables the best blend of security and usability. Insights from #btconf

I never made a dime from creating OAuth, and standardizing it was a lot of deeply frustrating work, but worthwhile for the net benefits.

I have a *deep* mistrust of people who use standards processes to further their own commercial interests.
