this post @capjamesg wrote is almost plucked right out of my brain; been having these thoughts for a while, and i'm so glad to share it. thank you for writing it, james!
"To have a personal website is, presently, an act of rebellion. It is a statement. You are saying: I want to define my experience on the web. I'll let you in on an open secret: Big tech companies aren't the only ones who get to decide how we share ideas on the web. The web is yours. You can put up a website where you share whatever it is that you want to share with others."

The indie web | James' Coffee Blog
I went twenty-two years not knowing how to cook an egg. Cooking classes were a rough time for an anxious student like I was. I did not know I was suffering from anxiety at the time; that is a recent realisation.jamesg.blog
If you browse a lot of #smallweb #indieweb blogs and websites, you should add the StreetPass extenstion to your web browser. It finds #fediverse accounts associated with the blogs you read, and allows you to view the accounts and follow them if you want.
How does it work?
1. Mastodon users verify themselves by adding a custom link to their personal site.
2. StreetPass lets you know when you've found one of these links, and adds them to your StreetPass list.
3. Browse the web as usual. StreetPass will build a list of Mastodon users made up of the websites you go to.
##StreetPass is made possible by open web identity verification standards and is 100% open source!
Nicht einfach nur die Überschrift lesen. Die Ukraine ist hier nur ein aktuelles Beispiel – und zwar ein sehr anschauliches. Wofür? Nun, warum #Dezentralität und Vielfalt wichtig sind (nicht nur) beim Internet – Stichworte: Resilienz, Zensur, Kontrolle.
Da gibt es auch Parallelen zwischen diesem tollen Artikel vom @liberloebi – und dem #SmallWeb von @aral …
Why?
To protect your privacy.
We use public-key authentication (which I’m implementing as we speak) so your secret is never stored on the server and you only enter it in places you own and control.
(I can already see some folks up in arms about this because JavaScript Bad™ so I just checked in the initial copy for the page that gets displayed if JavaScript is off.)

Is the fediverse about to get Fryed? (Or, “Why every toot is also a potential denial of service attack”)
Every time I post something that gets lots of engagement, I essentially end up carrying out a denial of service attack on myself. What does this say about the design of Mastodon and ActivityPub and the future of the fediverse?Aral Balkan

Web folks, how’s that interface look to you? Simple, no? :)
Ah, the joys of having an in-process JavaScript database to play with, even if I had to write it myself (https://codeberg.org/small-tech/jsdb).
The second screenshot shows you how things are stored in JSDB (hint: as a JavaScript append-only log) ;)

#SmallWeb as such doesn't seem to be featured yet, but it's all wikis.
I actually think it’s good to be reminded that our ability to communicate comes with a cost – in terms of resources, environmental impact, etc., not just money.
But, equally, it also makes the case that a system optimised to host hundreds of thousands of people on a single instance is not also somehow magically optimised to host just one person.
The latter is the problem I’m exploring with #SmallWeb.
Have a listen:

Federated communications - The Fediverse - with Aral Balkan
Aral Balkan is co-founder of the Small Technology Foundation. He talks about the Fediverse, including Mastodon and tools like ActivityPub, for nonprofits.https://www.nextinnonprofits.com/author/steveboland/#author (Next in Nonprofits)
(Apart from perhaps that we should also be looking at designs that aim to make doing what you describe as easy as possible. It’s much easier to set up a system that’s explicitly designed to serve one person than one that is designed to serve 1-100,000 people. The complexity involved is orders of magnitude less in the former.)

Sadly, the fundamental design of Mastodon mirrors the design of Big Tech (a server architecture that can support hundreds of thousands of “users”) and thus inherits its success criteria.
I feel it’s time we at least started thinking about what the web would look like if we all had our own place on it and what it would take to get there from here.

(And if you take that line of thinking to its logical conclusion, you arrive at the idea behind the Small Web: https://ar.al/2020/08/07/what-is-the-small-web/)

Things should be much smoother now. (Also, your pages will auto-refresh in the browser after you fix an error and save the page and/or a dependency of your page.)

Does it all make sense?
https://codeberg.org/kitten/app/src/branch/development-mode/examples/guestbook
Basically, you run kitten on that directory and hit https://localhost.
(Note: Kitten is not ready for use yet. I think the core design is solid now though. You can play with it but I’m only starting to work on the developer experience now. Should be far nicer in the next few weeks.)

I believe the process for public funding should itself be public so you can read the entire submission on my blog (with better formatting than the text-only original submission, a video, and pictures) and I’ll be posting future communication there also:

NLnet Grant Application for Domain
This is my application to get NLNet funding to work on Domain as part of the User-Operated Internet Fund1 I feel it’s important that such grant applications are made public so everyone has visibility into the process.Aral Balkan
But there’s one big drawback to htmx… no ES modules and thus no components. That’s a biggie.

It’s not about building clones of Twitter, YouTube, etc. There’s no way anyone can self-host a dozen different services. Instead, it’s about having a single-tenant place on the Web that you own and control without technical knowhow; a place you can add Twitter, YouTube, etc., *features* to.

I've put together a survey about the Small Internet (#gopher, #gemini, individual webpages, small community sites) and I would love your input. If you are a small internet user, please spend a few minutes and fill in your thoughts. I'm especially interested in the open response questions. This will help inform an upcoming conference talk I'll be giving at https://mch2022.org
Also, please boost this on fedi as much as possible and feel free to re-share on other social networks and in other communities. The more responses the better.
