Looking Back Everything’s Different

Your Website As Your Personal Hub

Since “Social media isn’t social anymore”, the (grassroots) movement of having your website as your personal hub on the internet is gaining more momentum, along with the principles of POSSE and the growing popularity of the Fediverse. Consequently, post formats are becoming increasingly important once again.

  • Post formats as a taxonomy. In WordPress, a taxonomy is a system for organizing and classifying content. The two main taxonomies are categories and tags, with bases /category/ and /tag/ respectively. As more varied non-standard content is published, post formats—if registered via a child theme or plugin—can serve as a third taxonomy with the base /type/.
  • Fediverse interaction. Post formats can assist WordPress (e.g. the ActivityPub plugin) in translating posts into activities (such as notes, images, articles, or quotes) and federating them to platforms like Mastodonor PixelFed.

Getting Out of the Way

When we’re our best selves with each other, I don’t think that’s what’s possible between people. I believe that’s what’s true between people.

And I don’t think we have to work to make it true between people. I think we just have to get the stuff out of the way that’s stopping it from happening.

When Work Becomes Play

This is the real secret of life — to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.

The Group Within

This is simply to say that for innovation we need diversity of group, which includes the “group” inside each of us. We must each foster our own internal collective.

Seeing Different Paradigms of Meaning

But the literal meaning does not convey the larger meaning unless both speaker and listener share the same foundation of understanding about the topic and belong to the same paradigm.
