Additional clarity from Rosie for posterity.

➡️ 𝑽𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 - what does everyday life look like if this works? What will be different, and what will be the same? What’s in it for me? If people can’t picture it, they won’t move towards it.

➡️ 𝑰𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒕𝒚 - who are we relative to where we’re headed? Can I understand myself in the future vision? Can I do my part? This is deeply personal and without it, people won’t engage.

➡️ 𝑻𝒓𝒖𝒔𝒕 - big change needs momentum and trust is flow. Markets, businesses and citizens all need to know what is being asked of them, what they can rely on, and why the destination is worth the risk of moving. Without that, you don’t have commitment – you have compliance (if you’re lucky!)

➡️ 𝑨𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒏𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 - incentives, funding, decisions and behaviours all have to pull in the same direction. Otherwise, people do what the system rewards. Real alignment means every part of the system can see the destination and wins by moving towards it together.

➡️ 𝑳𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑 - can you set a path to where we’re going without the need for constant central control? If your leadership inspires a million leaders, big change becomes real.

Not sure how repeatable and scalable this all is - not seeing a system yet.

@WiredDifferently 🖇️ Concur.

@canion 🤙🏼 I installed - now just need to invest the time.

@canion I see free forever on a desktop .. might give it a whirl .. in the hope it has good import export support.

@devilgate 🤷🏻‍♂️ Hootie?

Yeah - I think down to an album that had a few hit singles (so though it isn’t - arguably another ’greatest hits).

It is also not IMHO ‘Rock’.

Never much of a fan. (Did you guess?)

@jsonbecker oh yes - agreed - sending credentials is wrong and lazy. The worry is this idea of 100% ‘absolutism’ that is being assumed for internet verification that we don’t even pretend to have in real life. I would also like to see insistence on corporate identity - not oft talked about - but ID should go both ways - it can’t just be dear person please identify yourself to we the mighty corporation - I should be able to ask the caller to prove that they do indeed officially represent the company that they say they are from.

@jsonbecker you need to account for the who, not the what - age verification is about verifying the age of the person on the site, not the machines admin - AND ideally not just online.

@bkryer 💯

@manton BIG FAN.

@myles 🤯 it took you 4 minutes? For the whole series? 😂😂😂

@WiredDifferently just finished episode 2 🤯

I seem to have accidentally solved an earlier issue where replies out of Micro Blog were also rendering as WebMentions.

10 Minutes Later - WRONG. There’s that latency again. They are back. BUT - a challenge for another day.

Still left - a little bit of styling, template organising etc - but overall very happy.

I should also give a shout out to Claude who accompanied me on the journey - a first since the last time I tried Web-mentions Claude had not been born.

This time it continues to be both clear and true that the indie web is not for the ‘just make it easy’ community and is definitely part of the ‘committed community’.

For my dollars - as soon as we can solve that challenge - all the better.

@philpin.com 👁️

@devilgate Had to look him up. But - thank you❓

I never knew how old he was. 60 is way too young.

@manton in certain circles .. that’s known as a ‘solid’ … 💯

@WiredDifferently it’s funny that this one surfaced in my feed yesterday which I saved for later - it does look good noting that it comes from 2022. How did I miss it?

paging @dave who I’m sure will have an opinion ..

(#BeyondMyPaygrade … but observing how many cool readers have appeared this year .. that all seem to have a slightly different take)

@softrockstar.bsky.social Not wrong
