A few weeks ago I decided to replace my profile picture. I use the same picture across almost all the social media sites. Now a part of the new profile picture is also the header image in this blog’s design. Here is this new profile picture:
It looks very stylish on the first glance, but if you look closer you will notice that it contains imperfections. The reason for this is that it was generated by AI without any further editing. While I did some basic design work in the past, I am not an illustrator and would never be able to come up with something like this myself. I do not even know how which tools to use these days.
All new posts on this blog are now published via ActivityPub to Mastodon and all other compatible decentralized social sites in the Fediverse. With the help of the ActivityPub plugin for WordPress, this was a simple setup.
You can now follow the posts of this blog on the account @posts@raimue.blog. The widget below will help you to subscribe from your instance, but you could also just search for the address.
Paste my profile into the search field of your favorite open social app or platform.
Your Profile
Or, if you know your own profile, we can start things that way! Why do I need to enter my profile?
This site is part of the ⁂ open social web, a network of interconnected social platforms (like Mastodon, Pixelfed, Friendica, and others). Unlike centralized social media, your account lives on a platform of your choice, and you can interact with people across different platforms.
By entering your profile, we can send you to your account where you can complete this action.
The ActivityPub plugin will only publish posts to this address, so do not expect any other interaction from this account. My personal account remains @raimue@hachyderm.io.
This is an experiment and I mainly enable it to play around with the new feature. Mastodon and the Fediverse still have their shortcomings due to the decentralized nature, but it also enables new ways to share content and interact.
