My website is a shifting house next to a river of knowledge. What could yours be?
Although they may seem initially accommodating and convenient to their users, universally popular social media sites—like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Pinterest—are private companies that prioritize advertising above their users’ needs. Their users’ happiness is not the primary focus, so it’s perfectly normal for you to feel anxiety when using or even thinking about social media. In this age of digital cacophony dominated by these platforms, no one is looking out for you… but you. It makes perfect sense, then, when individuals tell me they want their website to do the job of “setting the record straight” on who they are and what they do.

I've been using Webmention for almost 2 years now, and I am fortunate to use Aaron Gustafson's jekyll-webmention_io plugin for Jekyll, the static site generator I currently use on this site. Aaron's plugin deals with getting the Webmentions from webmention.io, as the name implies, but also with sending mentions to external contents I link to in my own content.

I've been using Brid.gy since I started using Webmentions on this site, to get mentions from silos (Twitter mostly) back to the contents. This is an awesome service.

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. Medium is the new Blogger[1], but with a much nicer content editing UI, and a cleaner presentation of content to readers[2]. 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.
