Ah yes, another groundbreaking revelation: websites are indeed for humans, not the squirrels that secretly run the internet. 🐿️ The author bravely navigates through a maze of cat videos and AI paranoia, pondering the mysteries of Instagram while accidentally stumbling upon the obvious. 🙄 So avant-garde, so #IndieWeb. 🌐

Is there an artisanal IndieWeb revival at the horizon?

I need #help. I need to get a grassroots org fired up to oppose the right-wing Christians orgs meddeling with our politics and endangering our #trans and #lgbtq children, and our province as a whole.

I operate webservers, and can quickly mobilise webapps, websites, produce graphics...

I need to reach regular people, and I want to do it off corporate social media as much as possible. I need suggestions, templates, etc.

Pro Tip: cutting the loose ends of zip-ties transforms them into medieval-style spikes that mystically seek out your hands to stab them repeatedly, a trait that you might not enjoy.

However, it also means that zip-ties can instantly be turned into anti-pigeon fortifications. #thismeanswar #humansfirst #theonlygoodpigeonisasufferingpigeonthatwarnstherestofpigeonkindyoumeanbusiness

No reason why, but this afternoon the following phrase popped into my head:

Cattlestar Moolactica

and, rather than typing that into this week's latest generate-a-picture ML bot site, I figured I'd send it out to the humans. Do what you like with it as a prompt; share the results back if your human mind remembers to.

I suspect that one of the things that makes Mastodon feel like an echo of the Internet I remember before Facebook is that everyone I see on here is a human being. No brands, no bots, no machine-generated ”content” clogging up the pipes. I’m sure all of those things are coming with popularity, but I have some hope that running my own instance gives me a chance to keep that noise under control.
