Me: I don't want to open up 8 tabs for Twitter. I'll just visit Tantek's homepage where I bet he shows these tweets in full context.

I link to my own tag pages. I figure that'll show reasonable results and I can always link out to Twitter/Insta hashtags there if I wanted. #indieweb

Facebook is now so monopolistic that Zuckerberg thinks Interoperability means consolidating the different startups he bought to prevent competition #indieweb

Pushed a new release of Indigenous with the Checkin and Geocache post type. All info is passed as additional properties in the Geo URI. Oh, and I will fix the stupid spelling typo in a next release :) #indieweb

Emoji Avatars for My Website
My previous avatar was almost 3 years old, and I was getting tired of it. I decided to replace my avatar on my website for my IndieWebCamp Austin hack day project. But if you know me, you know I can't do anything the easy way. For my hack day project I made the avatar on each post in my website change depending on the emoji I use in the post!
I've had a page on my website for a while now that shows all the emoji I use in my posts. It's sorted by most frequently used emoji.
https://aaronparecki.com/emoji If you click on an emoji, you can see all the posts that include that emoji, kind of like a tag. This has been pretty fun, but I wanted to take it one step further.
Before I left for Austin, I did a little photo shoot at home. I took pictures of myself making a bunch of faces, and even with a few different props like a mug of beer, eating a pizza, holding an umbrella, etc. I added all these pictures to my admin interface and mapped them to the emoji I frequently use.
(There's a bunch more, but I'll leave that to you to find them!) And now, whenever a post includes an emoji, it will swap the photo that's used as the avatar! Here are a few highlights.
I'm looking forward to being surprised when I forget this exists and randomly use an emoji in a post and see a different photo!
If you'd like to see the video of my demo of this feature, and the rest of the demos at IndieWebCamp, you can watch them here!
I had a great time at IndieWebCamp Austin this weekend! Thanks to everyone for joining us this weekend, and special thanks to Manton for organizing!

I think I’ve figured out the broad strategy for how to decentralize social media. How do we get people using new, better networks? Here’s how!

You should come check out what we're doing on the #IndieWeb, it's basically exactly this, built with many W3C standards! Here's a writeup about my current social media experience, I stopped using Twitter ages ago:
