@ReadBeanIceCream discusses why he doesn't like algorithmic indieweb discovery surfaces that rely on social media-esque community votes to showcase “good” blog posts. (I think most of us on Mastodon and other indieweb social spaces know what discovery surface in particular he’s referring to here...) I agree with his concerns completely.

There have been several great responses to Hakkerman’s controversial “No, I Won’t Buy You a Coffee” post; Brennan’s has been my favourite, so far. I agree fully with his excellent take on the matter, and thanks to his post, I learned some interesting stuff about the history of mutual aid.

A fascinating take on the personal website. Nikhil’s site is not a traditional website, but is rather a “conversation” that feels a little bit like a Choose Your Own Adventure novel.

An absolutely wonderful pixel art website about Viggo, a Golden Retriever, and the various things Viggo loves (such as rescuing green balls from lakes and carrying around “Girlfriend”).
