for years "mods are asleep" has been a joke relic from the forum days but the fediverse brings us to an era where the mods can let you know that they're awake by boosting your "mods are asleep" joke and then you can scold them to go to bed because you know their timezone and this isn't healthy

@strypey @bhaugen indieweb is built around urls more than domains on the whole, though there are some domain-centred assumptions. A subdomain model (like Blogger) works well if you're making a service for people

@strypey @bhaugen also, I'd encourage the use of the #indieweb protocols too - adding rel=me and microformats-2 markup is the baseline, handling websub , sending and receiving webmentions, enabling posting via micropub. They're all complementary.

I think it is time to re-read A Group Is Its Own Worst Enemy: http://www.shirky.com/writings/herecomeseverybody/group_enemy.html

@Qwxlea @[email protected] for lifewithalacrity.com I used webmention.herokuapp.com (It shows them with js) see http://www.lifewithalacrity.com/2016/04/the-path-to-self-soverereign-identity.html for a post with mentions. That's a decent starting point before you move to building them into the pages
