I’m writing a #newsletter called Own Your Web about designing, building, creating, and publishing for and on the #Web. It took a little work-induced break but the next issue is ready and will go out this Sunday.

There are two open source web browser projects that have their own Mastodon instances.

Unfortunately, Mozilla has decided to shutdown their Mastodon instance by the end of the year.

But Vivaldi Web Browser has confirmed that they will keep maintaining their Mastodon instance.

Pondering the "open social web" as a phrase as opposed to " #fediverse" (as just used by @Sarahp in her latest piece on Techcrunch.)

I think it works. Merely "the social web" doesn't work IMHO because that would include the walled Facebook garden, if you use it with a web browser, and that's not what we want to say.

I've been playing with "the social web of peers" but that is rather complicated.

"#Open #social #web" also plays on the "open web" which is a term with a long history.

Thoughts?

It's happening, people. Google Chrome is moving to the Manifest V3 framework. If you haven't transitioned to a different browser yet, now's the time to do so.

A decent alternative is Firefox with uBlock Origin, and if you want to go for full privacy awareness, I've heard good things about LibreWolf…
