OAuth Support in Bluesky and AT Protocol
Bluesky, a new social media platform and AT Protocol, is unsurprisingly running up against the same challenges and limitations that Flickr, Twitter and many other social media platforms faced in the 2000s: passwords!continue reading... -
How to use your own domain as your BlueSky handle
I recently got access to the BlueSky beta, and decided to poke around to see what it's all about. I will save the details of what it is and how I feel about it for a different post. However, one of the first things you do when you sign up is choose a username that exists under the bsky.app domain. I have zero interest in another name rush where everyone tries to claim the shortest username possible, so I went with aaronpk.bsky.app rather than trying to get a or apk.continue reading... -
I'm glad to see that BlueSky supports custom domains! I have zero interest in sitting on a username in the bluesky namespace. Setting it up was roughly the same as pointing your own domain to a hosting provider, and a lot easier than Mastodon/ActivityPub!

A community isn’t a garden, it’s a bar. (powazek.com)> You’d never take the entire population of the world and try to stuff them inside one bar, yet somehow Facebook thinks that everyone should be on Facebook. That’s just not how communities work.

🎉 Six years ago today, the #IndieWeb Webmention protocol was published as a W3C REC https://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/
A key social web building block, Webmention enabled peer-to-peer comments, likes, and other responses to be created, updated, and deleted across the web, by both dynamic & static websites.
It was accompanied by a report of over a dozen implementations that demonstrated interoperability: https://webmention.net/implementation-reports/summary/ using an open test suite: https://webmention.rocks/ that is still up and running and used by developers today.
Many many more implementations have been developed, open sourced, shipped, launched since. The specification itself has a webmention endpoint and accepts webmentions.
Exactly a year before that, Webmention was published as a First Public Working Draft by the W3C Social Web Working Group: https://www.w3.org/TR/2016/WD-webmention-20160112/
It took the best parts of the prior Pingback protocol, simplified it (ditched XML-RPC), made it more secure, separated presentation from plumbing, and added update & delete semantics.
It was in many ways a model for how open web standards should be developed.
See the wiki page for an overview and numerous screenshots of implementations: https://indieweb.org/Webmention
If you want to implement Webmention yourself, there are now numerous developer resources to do so.
Start here: https://indieweb.org/Webmention-developer and come say hi at the IndieWeb development chat channel: https://chat.indieweb.org/dev

On my YouTube channel tonight I’ll be discussing some ways I’ve implemented #indieweb practices into my work. I’ll also look at some things I’d like to do in the future.
Would love to get some feedback from the experts ! Video goes live at 6:45 pm and will also be linked here when it goes live.
wow, my worlds colliding! I've been following your YouTube for years now!
I'd love to chat more about this. I've been putting a bunch of #IndieWeb principles to work on my YouTube channel as well! -

The alternative federated protocols seem too complicated. I see a lot about the need for progressive enhancement on the web, but when it comes to communication systems people seem to abandon that requirement. Part of my nostalgia for RSS comes from how easy it was to get started.
Yes! This is exactly why we've been taking this more incremental approach with #IndieWeb building blocks, like adding Microformats to turn a web page into a parseable feed, then Webmention to enable conversations, etc. -
Testing the ability to post to my website without sending every post out to my Mastodon followers. If you can see this post, you're either following my website directly, or I broke something.

#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!).
(Sometimes you buy a whole new domain just so you can shitpost about it…)
