Let's POSSE to Mastodon with a Feed and a GitHub Action
After building a Node script for my own POSSE needs, I thought it would be good if other people could also use it. I knew not many people would be able to use the script as-is, so I built a GitHub Action that is much simpler to use, without losing any feature, even gaining some!

Matt Cambion
Personal Websites as Self-Portraiture
What Matt writes echoes a lot with some IndieWeb principles, even if he doesn't mention it. What, then, is a personal website? It is precisely that,…

When reading about @morepolite, it reminded me about Jolicloud. Looks like it's normal: https://www.jolicloud.com/
Also, https://www.slowweb.io/ looks a lot like a VC friendly version of what #IndieWeb has been saying AND doing for many years… 🤔
When these things happen, as a community, I feel we should respond with kindness, support, and understanding when someone steps back from community…

Medium is only an edge server of your POSSE CDN, your own blog is the origin
People tend to be lazy (I am often) and chose the easiest tool to do the job, even if it's not the best one.

People can create and account and start publish in a few minutes, it's really easy. But how can all this be free?
So long Disqus, hello Webmention
Enough. I'm fed up with Disqus. It's been useful, easy to plug on this blog, but it's a mess for web performance, and I don't own my data, so… bye bye. Webmention is now a great alternative, with more people implementing it, so let's try to keep only that.
