If you don't have anything to hide, WHY ARE YOU WEARING CLOTHES? A tiny number of clothing activists are trying to impose their ideology on us all with their dangerous textiles. Express your freedom! Go naked this winter! #thisisasubtoot #privacy #clothingactivism

Hello fellow citizens of the free and open web, it is me, Ben Brown. You may remember me from that social network from back when social networks were cool, or maybe from that one open source project that blew up.
Hi, it is great to see you again.
First off, corporate owned social media always sucked, we always knew it. It is past time for us to have better options.I am so glad for the #Fediverse and #ActivityPub and Mastodon and other projects for breathing new life into the indie web, where it is possible for us to own what we post and use whatever tools we want. I couldn’t resist building something!
My new project is called SHUTTLECRAFT. It social media server … FOR ONE.
What does that mean?
It is very small and lightweight open source app that runs nicely on services like Glitch, but it has most of what you need to host your own personal social media account.
It’s got a microblogging tool, to make posts. You can customize the design with HTML and CSS. You can follow people on Mastodon or other services and interact with posts and send messages. People can follow you on Mastodon, or with RSS. You run it on your own server so you own and operate the data and the code and the whole service. And you can hack the code and make it weirder so that we can all be part of a better, more diverse and more interesting web.
No billionaires or mega-corps required!
I made a 3 minute video showing how it works:

Though this a personal project and only a few weeks old, with tons of stuff still unfinished and yet to build... you can get the code right now and run your own right now! The official site also has a 3 minute walk through of setting up an instance on Glitch. It is pretty easy!
Or go straight to for the code:

Thanks to everyone who has already tested this or sent feedback or contributed code. Y'all rule.
Own your posts!! Make it hard for them to monetize you!

A plea to journalists covering the Fediverse:
If you want to pitch a story and the only people you can think of to talk to are Gargron and the Journa Host admin, please don't.
Instead, use the time you saved to learn more about how this network functions, who the people behind ActivityPub are (and what that even is), who the people keeping instances running are, who the people moderating instances are; you can even get your hands dirty by digging through the Mastodon GitHub issue queue and learning why exactly some design decisions ended up the way they did, it's all right there!
Mastodon is not off-brand Twitter. You do this entire community a massive disservice by painting it as such, and you do our profession a disservice by expressing a complete lack of curiosity about this community before you report on it.
Thank you.
Lol, of course there will be a Megumin prequel spinoff.
Stupid trolling about dating and the quality of women is back on the timeline.
Twitter is healing.
You _Like_ things?
Unironically?
Book list should be 50% <how have you not read that yet> and 50% <how have _I_ not read that yet?>
Nano goes to school. She's really worried about the key on her back.
She makes friends with the main three over lunch.
Yuuko asks if she's a robot, but since Yuuko is known to be an idiot, this is dismissed.
Yuuko and Mio have a big fight, drawing attention away from Nano.
Yuuko comes to school sick to show off her magic tricks, but isn't really up to it.
Hakase is scared of a thunderstorm. Nano is not much help, she's scared too.
In a burst of continuity, Nano enrolls in school.

I highly recommend supporting the Standard Ebooks project. 📚
«Standard Ebooks is a volunteer-driven project that produces new editions of public domain ebooks that are lovingly formatted, open source, free of copyright restrictions, and free of cost.»
I really hate it when someone tells you how Those People think like they have some kind of ESP.
(Far more likely that they've had an all-propaganga diet.)

A reminder that today being January 1st, 2023, books, films and other works (except audio recordings) made in 1927 have entered the #publicdomain in the US (including the cited song).
