Föderation EN Mi 29.01.2025 20:24:36 this will likely be a recurring reminder as the weeks go by, but i'm so excited about this project. i have to share! (this is the first time i've been nervous to announce something on this side of the web!) i'm combining my 10 years of journalism experience with my love for the #indieweb by launching GOOD INTERNET, a regular periodical magazine in both print and digital formats. and this is a non-profit, completely independent endeavor! https://goodinternetmagazine.com/ ultimately, Good Internet will cover a lot of different aspects of the small web: unplugging from the corporate web, fighting #enshittification, migrating from data-harvesting corpo social media, creating your own personal website, using code and website-building as an art form, federation, and creating websites for fun. it will be approachable for beginners and enjoyable for seasoned indie web travelers! the #smallweb can be hard to keep up with if you aren't "plugged in," especially if you want to find other hobby website owners, folks coding for fun, weird web projects, or artists taking back their digital ownership. it's overdue that this side of the web has an analog publication! having a central publication about the decentralized parts of the personal web makes me even more excited to share this hobby with those who might not even know about it--all within beautiful, high-res, high-quality pages. the idea here is to have a physical celebration of this hobby in addition to being informative, helpful, and accessible. consider signing up for email notifications when we launch the first issue in may 2025: https://goodinternetmagazine.com (if you're interested in #writing an article or op-ed about this side of the web/personal websites, coding an interactive article, or want to know what that even means, send an email to hello@goodinternetmagazine.com! taking pitches for may 2025!) #internet #socialmedia #personalwebsites #blogging #blog #print #magazine #writer #technology #tech #coding #programming #html #webdev #webdesign #web #smalltech #css #html #dev #web |

Föderation EN Mi 29.01.2025 23:11:10 @andypiper YAYYYY |
Föderation EN Mi 29.01.2025 23:13:47 Will commenting and discussion of articles be allowed under strict and well defined rules, not open discretion and moderation without any rules? If not the authoritarian (bad internet) web is full of one way communication, what is so new? If not, under what terms and conditions will moderation exist? |
Föderation EN Mi 29.01.2025 23:19:00 @yianiris hi there! there will likely not be comments due to the nature of coding the interactive articles, and we want to promote folks responding on their personal websites and blogs rather than comments. the idea here isn’t to be more open than legacy/traditional media (good vs bad internet)—what makes this “good internet” is the emphasis on the personal web that prioritizes humanity over algorithms, which no publication is currently doing. :) thank you for the questions! |
Föderation EN Mi 29.01.2025 23:30:43 I guess we have to wait and see, we don't have enough to say yay/nay why. |
