Web Friend (MyWebFriends Official)What is MyWebFriends?! Introduction to a new social network.Hello everyone! ❤This is the administrator of MyWebFriends.online, and I'd like to talk a bit about the concept of this little social network that will launch properly in a couple of days.What makes MyWebFriends unique?We are an invite-only, new <a href="https://mywebfriends.online/search?tag=Friendica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Friendica</a> instance. If you are reading this on another software (e. g. Mastodon); it's basically to early Facebook what <a href="https://mywebfriends.online/search?tag=Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> is to Twitter.We are trying to do some things differently from other <a href="https://mywebfriends.online/search?tag=Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> communities. This is what <a href="https://mywebfriends.online/search?tag=MyWebFriends" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MyWebFriends</a> aims for:<ol><li>We are trying to emulate the feeling and UX of early real life- and hobby-focused all-rounder social networks such as <a href="https://mywebfriends.online/search?tag=Facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Facebook</a>, <a href="https://mywebfriends.online/search?tag=Myspace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Myspace</a> or <a href="https://mywebfriends.online/search?tag=MeinVZ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MeinVZ</a>.</li><li>We are actually utilizing groups, circles, photo timelines, calendars and all other Friendica features to their full potential, and are strongly encouraging our users to make use of them.</li><li>Users are encouraged to treat this as a site about their hobbies, special interests, projects, daily real lives and families and friends, rather than a totally anonymous shoutbox mostly centered around the internet, global politics, news and media.</li><li>We are chasing an early 2000s <a href="https://mywebfriends.online/search?tag=Y2K" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Y2K</a> or <a href="https://mywebfriends.online/search?tag=frutigeraero" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#frutigeraero</a> vibe in aesthetic and interaction. The <a href="https://mywebfriends.online/search?tag=EarlyWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EarlyWeb</a> was not perfect, but a cozier place for many than today's WWW. Our theme is unfortunately not yet implemented due to compatibility issues between it and the software version, but we are working on it. <a href="https://mywebfriends.online/search?tag=FediHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediHelp</a> is appreciated. ;O</li><li>We are focusing on fostering a tight-knit strong local community over interacting with the <a href="https://mywebfriends.online/search?tag=Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> as a whole - since the vast majority of the Fediverse by now consists of Mastodon and similar microblogging systems, and Friendica has a very different feature set. Also, this is necessary to get to the critical mass needed to actually populate a community with such a focus.</li></ol>Moderation and ContentWe offer an actively moderated community with a somewhat restrictive ruleset needed to foster a positive, personal space.For example, political posts and venting are generally discouraged and only allowed as an open-ended discussion format, questions and similar interactive content; as opposed to simply publishing an opinion into the void, posting a link without further commentary, or sharing whatever terrible stuff is happening around the globe.We believe there are a lot of sources for information, news and activism out there, and MyWebFriends does not want to become a space of negativity, opinion window shopping and anxiety. Of course we do our best to moderate away bigotry, and hate is not a valid opinion in our book, so do not worry about being silenced when you mention or discuss your identity that other people unfortunately politicize.We know that this is not the way all open social networks should be run of course, and you're free to disagree or dislike these things of course. We are just trying to offer an alternative to the way the <a href="https://mywebfriends.online/search?tag=Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> at large has ended up being like now, mainly also due to the almost-monopoly of Mastodon. More choice is always better, we think! :)Reshares are always welcome! :bow:<a href="https://mywebfriends.online/search?tag=fedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fedi</a> <a href="https://mywebfriends.online/search?tag=newhere" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#newhere</a> <a href="https://mywebfriends.online/search?tag=indieweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#indieweb</a> <a href="https://mywebfriends.online/search?tag=smallweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smallweb</a> <a href="https://mywebfriends.online/search?tag=webrevival" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#webrevival</a>

Roberta FidoraToday I've been reading and watching several things on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BowieNet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BowieNet</a>, because I thought there were some interesting parallels with smaller online spaces and servers now (and the Billboard article mentions Todd Rundgren, who is just cool). 👨‍🎤 <a href="https://www.techradar.com/pro/cyberspace-oddity-the-story-of-bowienet" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.techradar.com/pro/cyberspace-oddity-the-story-of-bowienet</a><a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/bowienet-david-bowie-pioneering-online-fan-club-isp/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.billboard.com/pro/bowienet-david-bowie-pioneering-online-fan-club-isp/</a> <a href="https://youtu.be/HeByDNtHKQ0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/HeByDNtHKQ0</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RetroTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RetroTech</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Bowie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bowie</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/EarlyWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EarlyWeb</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ToddRundgren" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ToddRundgren</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Music</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/90s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#90s</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WebHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WebHistory</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Histodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Histodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Histodons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Histodons</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Longreads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Longreads</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Musodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Musodon</a>

Aaron Patterson ✅Younger folks might not remember this, but in the late 90s, pretty much all social media platforms abandoned XHTML because HTML5 doesn't require you to close your hash tags <<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/EarlyWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EarlyWeb</a> />
