I recently got nostalgic and got my daughter a new toy I played with as a child. As is her habit, she became curious and began asking questions on how it works. She did find out, and of course, decided to make a video of it. So, a new video premiered today.
The last Sunday was pretty productive. I finished writing a personal story that I have been meaning to pen for some time now. I wasn’t sure before what story I wanted to tell. I also published the next video with my daughter. The feedback to both has been encouraging. Yay!
I’m pretty sure the “fediverse” refers to the federated social network that is Mastodon (where every node typically serves many people), whereas the IndieWeb instead focuses on a decentralized, not federated, social network where every actor controls their own node
