Okay, this is a new test. This time it’s about the functionality of ActivityPub.

Let’s see how that goes…

I can hardly believe it, after two years I finally managed to work through all my tweets and sort them out properly. All tweets that remained, I have taken over to my website following PESOS.

There were really so many posts whose context I no longer understood myself. How should it expect it from others?

Rules

Of course, I have gained a few insights that I would like to share with you here. They are valid for Twitter, but also for all other social networks and my own website.

  • No one cares if I’m tired, going to or coming from work, if I’m running late, what’s going on on the Autobahn, or how much I’m longing for the weekend to arrive
  • I don’t have to keep a record of when I go to the gym or where I just ordered food.
  • When commenting on moments or current events of the day, it’s a good idea to touch on the overall situation a bit, since it’s impossible to understand what it’s about in retrospect
  • The same goes for situational comedy, insider or short comments on a hashtag for a quick like
  • Likes are absolutely irrelevant
  • Dialect or regionally related sayings / jokes can be avoided, no one understands them anyway
  • Automated posts that I shared or posted something on another network are annoying!
  • Weather?! If it’s not a natural disaster that I’m watching, then I’ll keep it to myself
  • I no longer rely on 3rd party services where my content is stored (IndieWeb, Own Your Data!!)
  • If I want to exchange ideas about trash TV, I should get an extra account…

Maybe there won’t be so many things left to post. But that’s also a good situation. Either content with substance or leave it out.

Reviewing my tweets and optionally syndicating them to my website is really hard. There are so many tweets, especially in the first years I wrote several times almost every day. When I transfer a post, I also do it in German and English. So I apply the following rules:

  • Tweets about waking up or going to bed will be ignored
  • Tweets about starting work, taking a lunch break, or getting off work will be ignored
  • Stories from work that have lost their relevance will be ignored
  • Tweets with broken links will be ignored
  • Posts referencing any events that are no longer relatable will also be ignored
  • Jokes that I don’t understand myself anymore will be ignored
  • Tweets about new posts on fb, tumblr, instagram or any other network will be ignored
  • Any tweets that I do not transfer to my website will be deleted on Twitter
  • 2 Interactions

I have taken the time at the weekend to eliminate some glitches on my website, especially in the mobile appearance. Furthermore, there is now finally a real homepage and dark mode support.

As I will not only have “normal articles” in the classical sense on my website but also a lot of interactions within the free internet, I have modified my feeds. This means that if you subscribe to my RSS or Atom feed, you won’t be bothered with all the interactions taken out of context, but only get the “big articles”. On notiz.blog, there is also a post on the topic that is worth reading.

Just noticed this different avatars thing on @aaronpk‘s website in relation to the content. Such a subtle detail, smart and simple.

Well done, Aaron. I hope it’s okay for you that I’ll do something with this inspiration 😉

I’ve successfully updated my website to #WordPress 5.0. No problems so far.

Until new year’s eve I’ll finish and upload my new theme I’m currently working on. The current theme was never been truly finished and that frustrated me so much that I lost my passion to write here. I expect to get back some publishing action here in early January.

In the past, I’ve rolled out version after version completely build up from scratch in a bi-weekly cycle. At that time I had the energy and time to do this, but no ideas and motivation for the contents.

Today I’d like to publish so much content, but I’m frustrated by the technical state of my website. I’m far behind my own plans.

It’s interesting how things can change completely but still leaving me unsatisfied behind.

I’ve been trying to find the very first versions of my website for a long time now.

Today I found shamefully small screenshots of version 1-4.

It seems like the pages themselves are lost forever.

I’ve just noticed in the Google Search Console at “Links to your website” that in addition to many things that make sense, the following is in place 30 of the anchor texts: “women from the east are looking for men”

I find that very interesting, at least now I have a page for it 🙂

Umm. I kind of want to make a nice, exaggerated, detailed design again, not that 2.0 crap…

Well, whatever. Since my website has its 10th anniversary this year… I guess I can do something ^^
I’m doing nothing else with it.
