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?
Me: have you met venture funded social sites? http://Indieweb.org/site_deaths

I am staring at this pizza place and keep thinking it says oauth pizza... And think of @aaronpk

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

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)

Yes, Twitter as a platform is bad and getting worse, but I cannot afford to migrate away from a system where I've built a community and audience I love in favour of other platforms where that's actively harder to do. Marginalised folks can't afford to "just rebuild"

Aw, for an excited moment I thought .chicken was a real TLD.
