this will likely be a recurring reminder as the weeks go by, but i'm so excited about this project. i have to share! (this is the first time i've been nervous to announce something on this side of the web!)
i'm combining my 10 years of journalism experience with my love for the #indieweb by launching GOOD INTERNET, a regular periodical magazine in both print and digital formats. and this is a non-profit, completely independent endeavor!
https://goodinternetmagazine.com/
ultimately, Good Internet will cover a lot of different aspects of the small web: unplugging from the corporate web, fighting #enshittification, migrating from data-harvesting corpo social media, creating your own personal website, using code and website-building as an art form, federation, and creating websites for fun. it will be approachable for beginners and enjoyable for seasoned indie web travelers!
the #smallweb can be hard to keep up with if you aren't "plugged in," especially if you want to find other hobby website owners, folks coding for fun, weird web projects, or artists taking back their digital ownership. it's overdue that this side of the web has an analog publication!
having a central publication about the decentralized parts of the personal web makes me even more excited to share this hobby with those who might not even know about it--all within beautiful, high-res, high-quality pages.
the idea here is to have a physical celebration of this hobby in addition to being informative, helpful, and accessible.
consider signing up for email notifications when we launch the first issue in may 2025:

(if you're interested in #writing an article or op-ed about this side of the web/personal websites, coding an interactive article, or want to know what that even means, send an email to hello@goodinternetmagazine.com! taking pitches for may 2025!)

everyone should blog! but what if you don't feel like you have something to say?
@flamed has some ideas on what to #blog in case you're struggling for ideas, pulling inspiration from the loveliest of places, local bookstores. <3

i know this is a very specific pet peeve, but...
if you call your hotel "dog-friendly" but have nowhere to take them to the bathroom nearby (like within a 5-minute walk), then it's not dog-friendly. >:( having to hike 15+ minutes to a park for the dog to go to the bathroom is such a pain!

had some downtime this weekend after an exhausting move, so i tried to push myself to see the minimum time it would take for me to launch a whole (responsive) #website and it turns out just under 8 hours!
PANTSON is a #pixelart trading club/pixel clique for website & blog owners to adopt and claim colors while linking to each other! it's all just for fun!
the template is super easy, so this is a great way to get acquainted with pixel art or if you feel like you're a beginner and don't quite have the skills for other pixel clubs.
check it out if it sounds fun to you!

“we can build the web we want to see.” —@molly0xfff
and there’s communities of us who are doing just that! if molly’s talk resonated with you, please check out the #indieweb and #smallweb hashtags on mastodon. look into the “personal web,” tilde communities, and follow the threads of the web that aren’t being spoonfed to you by algorithms. ❤️ (and can’t help but plug our community https://32bit.cafe doing this too!)
LOVED her talk!!! amazing job, molly!

.@molly0xfff’s analogy of “discovering [coding] was like having access to all the art supplies ever created” is an amazing one—and an awesome reason why more folks, including artists, should think of websites as a way of self-expression, to use the medium for art rather than to just display a portfolio or resume. the tools are there, ready for you!
