the force of human presence in keeping this web going for 16 years speaks against the total gloom and doom of AI taking over the world. All the hype seems to again look over all he human creativity alive and more than well right there in the long tail of the internet.
How lovely, thanks Alan.
RSS is a federated network. You don't need a license to be in the RSS network.
After using mastodon for a while I still feel happiest with RSS.

Hi Joe,
This is nice, it only took a couple of minutes to get a basic page set up here: John’s nanogallery using my flickr photos.
Update: there is a visual builder.
Here's what I want: A keystroke to open a window to a blank WordPress editor. Not the block, nothing fancy. A white box. Maybe a select or check for categories and tags. That's all.
If you are happy using a few #IndieWeb plugins and setting up indieauth & micropub you could use quill:

@jimgroom Posting from my blog to social.ds106.us is working fine. Now replying with the indieblocks plugin & brid.gy.
Listened to this episode of the ATP pocdcast as they were talking about mastodon. They talked about the problems of scaling, large instances and what would happen when celebrities arrive. Personally I don’t want to follow celebrities or even slightly famous people who I can’t engage with. I love the idea of small instances of quite like minded folk combined with the ability to interact with other groups.
@jimgroom is awesome, not a word I use often. Solved my brid.gy to social.ds106.us problem today in this thread:

This post starts on my blog and hopefully gets to mastodon via brid.gy

At least 30 years ago I saw a book in a secondhand shop, in Bank Street, beautifully produced, a translation of a French poet who had lived in Japan.
Some haiku like poems & some one word ones. I can’t recall any but I remember placement on the page was important.
I couldn’t afford the book.

I hate to say this because I adore my fellow tweeps, but some of the least effective content on here right now are auto-posted tweets. They’re visually off-putting, and the content sometimes doesn’t translate well for this environment. If you’re going to cross-post to Twitter and Mastodon, perhaps consider doing so manually and adjusting accordingly. (Said with love :twitter:)
I POSSE and cross post a fair bit, but I often just do it manually. Helps with both formatting & alt-text on images. But this like I am relying on brid.gy. It works well for Twitter, so this is a mastodon test.
Read: In the House of Lies by Ian Rankin ★★★☆☆ 📚
Usual enjoyable stuff Rebus retired and sticking his nose in.
