It was a mistake that ActivityPub Client-to-Server never took off and I think we'll pay for it one day.

Right now one person calls the shots for the client APIs of multiple projects because all the projects want to be compatible with the biggest server implementation. This feels wrong, but I don't know what the solution is at this point.

Honestly, ~if~ Twitter were to die, the most significant loss we'll all have is the strange reality of brands having significantly better customer support through their Twitter accounts than their official customer support options.

#Indieweb commies want you to think personal websites are 'hip', but there's no # money # gain # profit in being a human person (online). That's why I'm advocating for 💰Impersonal Websites 💰, to promote more business-business business profit (online!).

5 frustrations only live streamers will fully understand...

1. Losing internet while live streaming

5. Lighting

Want more customers?

Go deeper. Understand what motivates them. How will they be transformed by what you do?

Don't talk about what you do. This is a self-centered approach to marketing and could be the reason why you don't have a line of customers waiting to hire you.

Why people buy—
No one buys a drill bit because they want a sharp bit.
They buy a drill bit because they want to make a hole in the wall.
