@kevinmarks @chaosexanima and others look at this:

From Tumblr, May 6th:

"We’ve updated the default #Tumblr Official blog theme to be compatible with #Microformats 2, which allows blogs using the Official theme to be parsed more easily as part of the #IndieWeb."

OK who can help take Matt Mullenweg up on his offer to bring #Tumblr up to full #indieweb standards? cc: @humanetech

Not a joke: this is a very real opportunity... #openweb

And here are some breakdowns of platforms folks came in from...

#admin #indiewebsocial

Super busy day here at his instance. Am 100 percent sure this is the biggest day of new users since the instance launch. In many ways set up the instance as a labor of love for days just like today.
Welcome, all...

These numbers are just from today:

This feels a bit like "Stockholm syndrome" to big, centralized platforms. You don't see similar critiques made about email servers, or podcast aggregators, or other decentralized systems.

In all those cases it comes down to: vet out and choose your servers/instances that are trustworthy and well run.

And as Elon showed today and it isn't only smaller services that can change overnight. And as MySpace, GooglePlus, Apple Ping, Twitter Vine, etc, show, it isn't only smaller services that die.

I feel the same… #Mastodon moving content standards down to each instance/community was as important an innovation as any part of its innovations in distributed social networking….

Hmmmm…I wonder why 🤔...

(On #Twitter trending this morning...)

Hey not bad: our latest numbers for so far...

On this instance, we have 1.73K users making this their fediverse home, publishing 10.4K posts so far.

You all rock. #admin

Agreed…

Something to build to and to create in 2022. Something the #indieweb, #fediverse and #web3 are all striving for.

Pretty much how NFT's work.

BOOM: Just suspended and deleted all posts from another account trying to use this instance for promotion and marketing.

We have a very clear no promotion, no spam policy instance and zero tolerance for clear violations. Just sayin'...

Preemptively done for this instance...

Assuming that Trump will try to decentralize and federate out his content from his new social network that he forked from #mastodon. #Fediblock

Thank you @thegibson and @isolategab

#IsolateTrump

Yes. Delete.

Agreed...

Had some spammers join this instance and have since permanently suspended them.

If any others show up that I miss - do message me, promise we will be vigilant to keep this instance spam-free.

I agree with this post, and it is a very good argument for the open web for authors and creators.

“The best and most beautiful things in the world…” (found while hiking yesterday)…

Increasingly, post-COVID, weekend cleaning of the house is less like “picking up a bit” and more like Apollo13 crew cleaning out the LEM.

When did Steak-umm's acount get so smart? (This is their first tweet after the returning from the Twitter hack today)....
