#Ghost

But uh..

#Substack is basically #Ghost but not self-hosted, is that right?

Meh

What has been on my mind today: the high costs of digital sovereignty and privacy.

I quit #Substack and pay 30€ a month for a Creator plan on #Ghost (approx. 360 Euros a year).

I quit Dropbox in favor of #Proton Unlimited (drive but also mail, calendar. VPN). 119 Euros/year.

I nuked my Google Analytics accounts in favor of #Plausible (90 Euros/year).

I'm HAPPY to pay for these services & yet I'm highly aware of my privilege.

#BigTech won't fade in popularity anytime soon bc it's free 😩

Wondering how much work it would be to stick together #Fedify and an as-of-yet-unidentified #PDS framework to have a #Ghost blog be on both #ActivityPub and #Bluesky natively at once.

As a side note, most of the new features added in this #Fedify release were commissioned by #Ghost.

The work #ghost is doing to their #fediverse integration is pretty interesting. 😎 Like having long and short distinction, for consuming content, on the UI. It sounds obvious, but not as wide use. Maybe #Substack does this? 🤔

Ghost versatility may make it excellent for single user instances.
Example, same thing you use for publishing long form content is same tool you use to spam about pugs. 🐶 All without polluting the streams. Very nice. 😄

For at least a few weeks now #Ghost powered newsletters in #Feedly (at least on Android) are all really narrow. Temporary workaround is to switch to landscape orientation. This is a relatively new situation, they were fine a month or two back, don't know if it was a Feedly or Ghost change that broke things.

How to migrate from wordpress.com to eleventy via Ghost

Open source Ghost cms now has an official account on Bluesky.

They even validated their account with official domain handle

If you have a domain, you can do the same and use it for all atproto based apps

What I don’t like about the #Wordpress implementation of #ActivityPub is that I see the whole damn post, long-form and unformatted, in my feed. Let’s hope #ghost does it better.

@index Great news indeed! After you successfully implemented #ActivityPub inside #Ghost, will you consider creating official iPhone, iPad & Android apps for the platform‽

The rare sighting of a cyclist being attacked by a ghost in broad daylight.

@craignicol Know what you mean - and I moved from #Mozilla to #Vivaldi for just this reason.

Hate to see the crazy turmoil happening at Automattic, hope they reorient, but if not, there are plenty of CMS's and #Ghost @ghost is building out its ActivtyPub features in a very promising way.

@index if this integration of Ghost with Activity Pub works well, I'll possibly choose as the open source tool to start blogging again.

It was one of the tools I took a look at on my search

What a week!

I discovered the FediForum unconference on Mastodon and spent the next three days learning about ActivityPub, web fingers and hooks, and the history and politics of federated social media from some of the originators. I’ll have to level up my technical skills, again. I spent a few hours finding, learning about, and following folks across Mastodon instances and then closing scores of tabs.
#FediForum #Reflection #Ghost #Fediverse

Interesting #ActivityPub implementation roadmap by the #Ghost team: instead of implementing the standard, and then optimizing interop of their implementation with other implementors like Mastodon, they start with making it work with other implementations and then come back to the standard.

https://activitypub.ghost.org/mapping-out-activitypub-support/

The #Ghost people are doing excellent #ActivityPub marketing with their weekly newsletters, such as today’s. I don’t agree with some of the details of their points of view, but that doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things, they are doing a great service educating potential users beyond the niche of today’s typical Mastodon users. Recommended.

Newsletter platform and Substack rival @ghost announced earlier this year that it would join the fediverse, and now it has made good on that promise by federating its first newsletter.

Writes @Sarahp
for @TechCrunch “By offering a federated version of the newsletter, readers will have more choices on how they want to subscribe. That is, instead of only being able to follow the newsletter via email or the web, they also can track it using RSS or ActivityPub-powered apps, like Mastodon and others.”

Ghost is beginning to publish federated content! @index

Woah, #ghost is now live in the #fediverse with @index.

Absolutely outstanding progress! #fedify definitely deserves a great deal of recognition for making this possible. 😎

Feeling like we now have tooling in place to fediverse all things. 😅

Finally, @ghost has open sourced their #ActivityPub implementation powered by #Fedify! For Fedify users, this means another production-grade example code.

“We’re at a very grassroots stage of a mix of hackers and enthusiasts collaborating to make the thing they want, not the thing that has the most funding, and I love that. That speaks to my heart.”

Essential listening/viewing from @mike and @johnonolan . “No-one owns this space - it’s being built by a bunch of hackers and enthusiasts who are building what they want…#ActivityPub is going to be bigger than any other social network…It’s moat-less technology. Let’s fill in all the canals and grass them over.” Fantastic!

#Ghost In The #Fedify Machine: Making #Fediverse Adoption Easier Again 🔛 @[email protected] (Seize The Day) 📰 https://darnell.day/ghost-in-the-fedify-machine-making-fediverse-adoption-easier-again?pk_campaign=rss-feed

I'm very excited that the #Ghost team has chosen #Fedify to implement #ActivityPub. I've been working closely with the Ghost team, and it's been a lot of fun, and I can't wait to see the ActivityPub implementation at Ghost.

https://activitypub.ghost.org/day-4/

Ghost will be using the open source Fedify server framework to manage the activitypub bits and pieces of their service.
