I have conflicted feelings about deleting my Twitter/X account. On one hand, I don’t agree with the cult of personality leadership and lack of/removal of mechanisms to make it a safe platform. On the other, some of the tweets were very personal, became quite significant, and act as a time capsule of fond memories to a specific period in my life.

It’s taken some fettling, but finally I have a publishing workflow I’m happy with. Mastodon posts, or toots (to use the correct nomenclature), are published on scottmallinson.com alongside standard blog articles.
Next step is to get Bluesky in the mix…

I’ve been trying to get Mastodon to play nicely with scottmallinson.com since Automattic bought the ActivityPub WordPress plugin, but I’m not having much luck.
And to make things more challenging, IndieWeb/Fediverse components need testing in live environments.

I’ve been attempting to follow the Wildebeest documentation to create a Mastodon instance using CloudFlare’s infrastructure and it’s not quite a turnkey solution, and at a minimum of $10 to get started it’s not a cost-effective option either (compared to using a VPS).

Well, we did it. We migrated all 112 plugins to the new framework version and addressed the breaking changes and inter-dependencies in the process. Dare I say, we may have even improved some of the code. Though it may be too ambitious to say at this time until regression testing has completed.

Some wins, some losses today. Managed to get a bunch of plugins migrated at work. Huzzah! Dishwasher broke. Boo!
Dishwasher not broken! A couple of calls to customer services and we managed to fix it. Also, rounded out Friday with approximately 75% of plugins migrated.
