I've been thinking about @molly0xfff's #xoxo2024 talk about how the web is still a vibrant place to work, and also a place to support other people's work.

Is there an HTML pattern (#microformat, schema.org, well-known-uri, etc) for listing the people and projects on the web that you financially support? Maybe it just needs to be there for people to read. But it could be interesting to discover them as you browse?

Here's mine https://inkdroid.org/support/

I spent today *FINALLY* changing https://moule.world from a redirect to my Linktree and made it my own home page, handcrafted with HTML and CSS! :MOULE_Happy:

I've become obsessed with the #IndieWeb movement recently and I'm finally going all-in on my original goal of self-hosting ALL my stuff under MY domain! :MOULE_Happy:

I'll also have a directory of links to others' websites and cool resources, to check out, including 88x31 buttons (feel free to share yours if you'd like to be added)!

Screenshot of moule.world's page showing the words 'MOULE WORLD' spelt in an extended Y2K-style typeface in turquoise, and "Enjoy the Ride" below it in white. A silhouette of a mule's head with big ears sticks out of the 'O' in 'MOULE'. Below a description of MOULE WORLD is given as a transmedia storytelling worldbuilding project, with a history of MOULE and MOULE WORLD below that in front of dark blue boxes. The background shows the heads of numerous MOULE WORLD cartoon animal characters in faded blue. Overall the website has a blue and white colour scheme.
Screenshot showing a page on my website with a notice saying I'll soon set up my own self-hosted music site, before providing 23 links to streaming sites all shown by their logos in white. The page styling is the same as described in the previous image, but both the header and footer are visible now, both with dark blue backgrounds. The header has links to my home, music, Mastodon, YouTube, and Wiki sites, while the footer will have wearings and a randomly-chosen quote.

#indieweb

I meant with #IndieWeb, Bluesky and other non-ActivityPub initiatives

Eg the #IndieWeb have documented lots of findings in their wikis and have standards that been standardized in parallel with ActivityPub

One should not do like eg Mastodon did with the fediverse:creator meta tag

#indieweb

I built a neat little audio-player web component for reviewing songs. https://nathanupchurch.com/blog/new-audio-component-ballin/ #blog #indieweb #11ty #eleventy

A New Audio Web Component; Ballin’

I've gone and built a not-so-fancy audio component for my blog.

Looks like Libre.fm, an open-software version of Last.fm by the GNU Project, is being reworked to support ActivityPub!

https://roadmap.libre.fm

#LibreFM #LastFM #Fediverse #SocialWeb #IndieWeb #ActivityPub #GNU #GNUProject #Music #FediMusic

Screenshot from the linked article reading: "Next steps • I [Matt Lee] want you to have a personal website and have your listening habits on your own website, not my website. But I know some people won't want that, which is fine but Libre.fm is effectively a silo (other than Last.fm which it talks to, although federation with other instances has been possible for a long time) and has over 372,000 registered users and 302 million scrobbles. • Some new features will only work if you're publishing your Libre.fm stats on your own website. • A new version of Libre.fm's front end will appear later, powered by Ruby on Rails. • [highlighted] We're also going to put our full attention to supporting ActivityPub where possible. [end highlight]"
Continued screenshot from the linked website, reading: "• Libre.fm will evolve from a single project into a larger project with a few distinct aims: 1. Being a good IndieWeb citizen. 2. Being a genuinely useful tool for artists (payments!) 3. Being a good member on the social web, which means supporting ActivityPub where it is useful. Maybe you could share what you're listening to on the social web? (For those of you who've used Libre.fm since 2009, you'll remember the GNU social project we started back at the start of Libre.fm (or GNU FM). Personally I hope you also remember our roots in the history of the social web. GNU social continues to this day, but I'm no longer involved and no longer using the software. Happily, GNU social now supports ActivityPub so things are coming full circle.) What you can do today 1. Get a personal website. 2. Get an account on the social web and follow me! 3. Read https://bored.city and send me feedback. 4. Donate to keep the lights on. https://libre.fm/donate.php -- our expenses are low, but a few dollars here and there helps buy new domain names, renew things, pay for the outgoing email service, etc."

The way this Tech Crunch article is phrased, you'd might walk away thinking that the Ford Foundation's "large grant" made up a lion's share of the #SocialWebFoundation's financial support.

But only $50k of the One Million Dollars in funding for the #SWF came from The Ford Foundation, back in February of this year.

The other $950,000?

#Fediverse #IndieWeb #SmallWeb #OpenWeb

The Social Web Foundation (SWF) has some backing from Meta as well, alongside other major implementors of the ActivityPub protocol, including the social magazine app Flipboard, newsletter platform Ghost, Mastodon, and others. The Ford Foundation has also offered the organization a large grant to get the project started. In total, SWF is closing in on $1 million in financial support.
An online grant summary from the Ford Foundation showing details for grantee Exchange Point Institute, including a total grant amount of $50,000, approval date, and start date, all set for February 2024.
The Social Web Foundation is a fiscally-sponsored project of Exchange Point Institute, a US 501(c)3 non-profit. Tax-deductible donations to the Social Web Foundation will support our mission, help us execute on our projects and build a bigger, better fediverse.
