I have been playing around with Mastodon for a while and am starting to appreciate the Fediverse more and more. I was just recently informed about a WordPress plugin [wordpress.org] that implements ActivityPub [activitypub.rocks], opening a number of additional distribution channels for my blog!
I’ve always liked having my own website [kengourlay.com]. There’s an undervalued clout [www.inc.com] to using my own domain name [www.interserver.net], instead of something associated with some big corporation. And as more stuff [www.theguardian.com] comes out [www.amnesty.org] about how harmful social media is [www.theverge.com], or how irresponsible and downright abusive certain tech giants are, it becomes increasingly clear that embracing the original values of the Internet [en.wikipedia.org]—distributed control, built-in resiliency—is critical for the future of the net.
I would love for you to follow me (see below, although don’t expect much—I only post a few times a year). Even more, I would love for you to get yourself connected into the Fediverse [en.wikipedia.org], the IndieWeb [indieweb.org], or whatever variation makes sense for you!
