@molly0xfff I literally just closed it down today. 😕
Maybe someday again when I can do a two way integration with activity pub the way I've been dreaming of for years.
@SmartmanApps@qkslvrwolf@molly0xfff@blog yeah! I have been thinking in this crazy idea yesterday. I know that I can push the whole content to the fediverse, but the consumption on mastodon feels weird. And we have seen this idea from thread to blog post before, but what about from blog post to thread?
There is nothing that says that it should be 1:1 from article to notes, so basically dividing the post in sections and each section is a reply, creating a thread. Thoughs?
@mapache lol this is literally what I want, where each statement or section of a post essentially gets a custom comment thread via an activity pub post. Nice.
@qkslvrwolf yes! that would be a novel idea, I am sure I have not seen that before. It will require to be very careful on how separate each section of the post, or use some LLM to convert it to a thread, but otherwise feasible.
@mapache But that said, I'll bet even a fairly rudimentary algorithm that just tries to break at punctuation and if that fails breaks at work boundaries would work surprisingly well.
@qkslvrwolf@molly0xfff meanwhile on the other side people being like "this is actually kind of a privacy nightmare and too much of a responsibility to implement properly, also spam"
@joel WebMention and ActivityPub aren’t exactly the same thing.
I’ve added WebMention support to my blog three years ago. My experience matches the one in this post in some points but not others. I receive exactly zero spam for some reason and no mentions from Bridgy either. But I have to agree: there are only few mentions, and it’s usually from sites like lobste.rs so I barely publish any of those (I pre-moderate comments on my blog). All in all, the only reason it’s still running is that the maintenance effort is virtually non-existent.
(and 10’s in French). I’m also found of blogs and really happy with the #gemini protocol as there are plenty of gemlogs (blogs on Gemini) which feels like blogs from 2003.
@vmbrasseur How do you keep up with so many feeds? My challenge with feed readers is curating them down to a consumable level or accepting that many posts will remain unread.
@mattcen My secret is that few of them post regularly. ;-)
I also have them split into categories. The 'Frequent' category includes things I check daily (news). Everything else is checked less often (weekly, as I have time to kill).
Mostly PHP, some general tech, some politics. Though since there is no rss fees there I've been manually syndicating the PHP related stuff it my old blog on
@molly0xfff I’m mostly writing about security topics. Sometimes it’s multiple blog posts in a week, then again one in a few months. https://palant.info/
@molly0xfffhttps://wbrowar.com is a blog where I document maker projects and front-end web development. I’m thinking of setting it up for smaller post types soon.
My strategy: each time I read something interesting, I subscribe to the RSS feed. When a feed becomes too noisy or to far from my interests, I remove it.
Counter-intuitively, this strategy has led me to read a lot about "non-interesting" stuff because I started to learn the "voice" of some blogs and I keep reading them, even when they write about stuff completely weird.
@mykhaylo@molly0xfff the one about Lars von Triers post is particularly spot on. I hear this sentiment in so many cases, and it's just... When asked people will say something like: "don't use weapons, just go to the negotiating table"
But if the instigator always get negotiations, they will just keep instigating until negotiations get them all they wanted to take in the first place.
@molly0xfff this is the best thread I’ve scrolled through in years!
So here’s my contribution of my own musings: liamjbennett.me
A recent pause in written posts because after a recommendation, I’ve started to record audio for my posts to make them more accessible. Both the written and audio come with RSS feeds.
@molly0xfff I currently have 1340 unread articles in my FreshRSS instance and that's only because I marked EVERYTHING as read 4 days ago :blobcatderpy:
