IndieWeb Musings.....

So I'm over on Neocities just having a grand old time, uploading old web 1.0 sites I wrote 20 years ago, and I've pulled them all together with a retro-looking Netscape front end, only I call it Skeeternet. Anywho, it keeps me out of trouble on Facebook because lately all you need to do is post about your oatmeal breakfast and 50 friends jump in your tree becausue you obviously don't care about French Toast.

So while everyone is bolting for BlueSky, I said you know what? I'm not going. Every time something new comes up... Mastadon, CounterSocial... they all end up coming back to Facebook and all the drama starts again. So as I joke I went back to Neocities and made myself an asocial media page called Skeeterbook where I post and nobody can like or comment and it's absolutely glorious (snicker). When I shared an image of it on FB just for fun, I actually had people ask me, "How do I join?", "Is it federated?", and, "How do I subscribe?"

I hadn't, for one second, thought of making a private social network. I also hadn't thought about enabling indie protocols like webmentions and so forth, but I did add an RSS thingy in case anyone seriously wanted to follow me. So far... it's just me following me to see how it works. And it's likely to stay that way.

So what are you guys doing to stay off of the corporate internet? Hit me up.... my email is on my main page.
