Random idea: use fediverse as comment section of web pages.

Have a unique tag indicating overall site, and specific page on that site.

Page does a search for tag, displays posts with it as comments.

Posting comment on that page works like those "share" buttons that open say twitter but with some pregen text (the tag for this page) then you add the rest of text as what you want to say.

Hey #gnu and #fsf and #fsfe people, GNU's anniversary is coming up in September. Anybody interested in writing a related article on the topic for opensource.com ?

[Acknowledged: 'open source' != GNU. This is a deliberate attempt to get more GNU content on opensource.com ]

New CoC for Fosstodon went up ya'll! Please take a look and see if there's anything problematic. So far the only thing I found was an error in terminology referring to the CW.

Feel free to send all suggestions to @fosstodon as I did not have a hand in writing this.

Pixelfed will be a year old in a few days.

I'm a high school dropout that has never taken any CS or computer classes.

Web development is just a hobby of mine, I work in the auto industry.

I'm so proud of this project, I never would have imagined that I could make something like this.

Thank you for helping me realize credentialism isn't so important as you think. ❤️
