The fact that some hosting services don't support #ActivityPub for federating a #WordPress (.org) blog is a bit of a disappointment for those of us who believe #federation is a solution to the problem of centralized networks. Web hosting services should be independent of the project they host. At least, that's what I thought it should be until now.

En una pintura impresionista, un autobús clásico destaca en un bullicioso paisaje urbano, bañado por los cálidos tonos dorados del atardecer. El letrero en la parte delantera del autobús dice "ActivityPub" y brilla suavemente contra el vibrante fondo. La luz tenue y moteada proyecta sombras delicadas, añadiendo profundidad y encanto a la animada escena urbana. Los árboles y edificios difuminados del fondo enfatizan el movimiento y la vitalidad de la ciudad, creando una atmósfera cautivadora y armoniosa.

We look forward to meeting you!

We’re excited to announce that, from Monday, we’re going to be the new admins of IndieWeb.social!

We’ve always loved how @tchambers has run IndieWeb.social. His direction has made it one of the best instances on the Fediverse!

Thanks to Tim for his trust in us to provide a safe and secure home for the server into the future.

A reminder, the Fediverse cost money.

Yes, it is free for YOU to use, but your local administrator pays for domain registration, web hosting, storage space, CDN, and of course, bandwidth.

The busier and more active your Fedi site, the most it cost.

If you are able, consider reaching out to your admin, and asking how you can help. Even small contributions add up and make a difference.

Continued thread

I gave a little bit of thinking on the changes I want to do to #badgefed before making my server public.

The one who emits the badges, is a #fediverse actor, this should be no controversial, after all, I use the public/private keys to sign the badges itself.

But in the first prototype the recipient of the grant, was a record in the system itself. The idea was to allow recipients outside the fediverse to receive badges as well. I did not wanted to store the email, so I required a profile url, think of your fediverse url, or for those outside #linkedin, #blog, even #facebook if they want. However, it gets things a little bit more complex and less clean than what I want.

Today, I decided that the recipient MUST be an actor of the #Fediverse. That is, it, that will be embedded as a mention, and should be clean and neat. For those who are not in the fediverse, #badgefed will provide an actor (and profile url) where they can add basic information such name, and bio links. Or they can create an account in any of the fediverse platforms at the moment of receiving the badge.
