Hello, Twitter. If you're looking for another platform in light of the takeover news, I can assist with indieweb platforms. There is Mastodon, http://micro.blog, Indieweb plugins for WordPress blogs & others. Decentralized but they can all connect via ActivityPub protocol.

I’ve seen people host images on Flickr and include them directly on their blog. Personally, I would store images on your own site and then POSSE a copy to Flickr. (That’s how I built Flickr support into Micro.blog.)

The sad thing, really, is that there is no viable alternative. Trust me, I’m deeply familiar with Mastadon, IndieWeb, http://Micro.blog, et al., but they will not and cannot become the “new Twitter.” They’re not designed to, really. So, revel in the end of days.

[Sam_Butler] Good feedback. For the “cooperative structure”… This is actually something I’ve thought a lot about recently. I want Micro.blog to stick around for a long time. (We have a bunch of open source at github/microdotblog, but not the core part of the platform yet because it’s really too much trouble to host yourself. Openness with domain names, APIs, and data formats is a bigger win right now for more people, as [snarfe

[tantek] Indeed. I suppose the logical thought is, micro.blog is similar to something I would desire, and yet the lack of open-source and proprietary structure is something that would hold me back from adopting.

Thanks for the pointer [snarfed]! Yes, micro.blog looks very relevant. In terms of pricing, I'd be glad to pay like $5/month — but rather as a user-owner/steward in a cooperative structure? The lack of open-source (apparently) is also something that would hold me back from adopting. In line with "the medium is the message", for this type of infrastructure to be closed/proprietary underneath (if the intention is for it to serve

chat here obviously leans toward power users, so not as many of us use micro.blog for our primary sites, but it's still a critical and awesome piece of indieweb infrastructure
