Brent LineberryFor weeks I’ve been thinking about IndieWeb post types and a Casey Muratori video I watched recently and maybe I should work my website architecture towards “team fat posts.”<a href="https://orangegnome.com/posts/3633/team-fat-posts" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://orangegnome.com/posts/3633/team-fat-posts</a><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Django" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Django</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/WebDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WebDevelopment</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Indieweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Indieweb</a>

Reilly Spitzfaden (they/them)I have a humans.txt file on my site (<a href="https://reillyspitzfaden.com/humans.txt" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://reillyspitzfaden.com/humans.txt</a>), and I wanted to get it to update the “modified” date only when I actually modify the file, not every time I update the site. <a href="https://corteximplant.com/@benji" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@benji</a> suggested the Eleventy `Last Modified` variable (<a href="https://www.11ty.dev/docs/dates/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.11ty.dev/docs/dates/</a>) and that was helpful. One interesting thing about it is that I have to write `{{ page.date | date: "%Y-%m-%d" }}` instead of just the `date` variable itself. Now it works and it's super useful!<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Eleventy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Eleventy</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/11ty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#11ty</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/IndieWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IndieWeb</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/WebDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WebDev</a>

funbreakerThe indieweb (specifically Neocites and Nekoweb) was a fucking mistake. Script kiddies running the fuck around making the most cookie-cutter-ass webshits with the only differences being what brightly-colored, rapidly-flashing GIFs they put up. and if you call them out on it they scream and cry that you're stifling their creativity. <a href="https://fedia.social/tags/indieweb" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#indieweb</a> <a href="https://fedia.social/tags/ableism" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ableism</a>

Elizabeth Tai | 戴秀铃 🇲🇾Currently indulging myself by reading about the enshittification of Substack lol. It's sad, but predictable, how if you bring social media dynamics to a once-cosy platform of writers, things go to hell. A well-known writer I follow who has 39k followers wrote about how things have drastically changed the last few months. Journalists, celebrities are now dominating the platform and small fry writers are no longer seen. For me, I've seen an uptick of outrage content and reply guys and debate bros. It's sad how the moment one writes a narrative that the mob doesn't agree with, they pile on you.This is the opposite of what Substack stood for in the past.I will still use Substack, because I'm a practical person nor do I choose platforms based on its morality or ideals, but how it serves me. But it's sad because I remember how it was before the bigwigs tried to change it to the next Twitter.However, this is a very good reminder for me to double, triple down on my website and remember NOT to "build a presence" and do more digital sharecropping than necessary on Substack.<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SocialMedia</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Substack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Substack</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Indieweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Indieweb</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Internet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Internet</a>
