Bram EspositoBlog: I imported my Instagram archive Quite a bumpy road and it took way more time than I planned, but now I have my full Instagram archive on this blog. I do not care very much about my Facebook or Twitter history, but I’m really attached to these images, that take me back to earlier years. The content is mine now, […] … <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/blog" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#blog</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#facebook</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/instagram" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#instagram</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OwnYourContent" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#OwnYourContent</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#twitter</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/wordpress" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#wordpress</a> <a href="https://bramesposito.com/blog/2025/01/08/i-imported-my-instagram-archive/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no">https://bramesposito.com/blog/2025/01/08/i-imported-my-instagram-archive/</a>

Tantek ÇelikWelcome to 2025! 15 years ago today I began posting notes on my own <a class="" href="https://indieweb.social/tags/indieweb" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#indieweb</a> site first, and only later on <a class="" href="https://indieweb.social/tags/socialMedia:" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#socialMedia:</a> <a class="" href="https://tantek.com/2010/001/t1/declaring-independence-building-it" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://tantek.com/2010/001/t1/declaring-independence-building-it</a> You can too.

Lea RosemaAdding to my TODO list: have a look at XSLT again. Seems obsolete? I'd say absolutely not. Especially for running your own website which is getting more and more a thing 💜 <a href="https://lea.lgbt/tags/ownYourContent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ownYourContent</a> For example, look at the tetralogical feed. The XML atom feed is nicely transformed into a little site: <a href="https://tetralogical.com/feed.xml" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://tetralogical.com/feed.xml</a>Apart from this, I'd recommend that feed super much when you want to learn more about <a href="https://lea.lgbt/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#a11y</a>

Phil SherryWhat would the users of both platforms do if Medium and Substack suddenly closed, or they did something super-shady with all of the user data and content that they both have? I wonder this most times I see either domain linked here now. Not everyone is a web developer, I get that, but self-hosting doesn’t have to involve too much fucking around with code. Worth it to own your content for life, surely?

Luis SuarezOne of my favourite capabilities within <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a>:Subscribe to your own <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#RSS</a> newsfeed to have an offline local copy of all of your original toots (no comments or boosts, hope they may get added up eventually!) in case I decide to move servers or things may get borked. And to do that hourly/daily to my favourite RSS feed reader of choice (<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NetNewsWire" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#NetNewsWire</a> in this case), pretty much like I do with my own personal business blog.

Marcin CzachurskiIn last two weeks I deleted my accounts from Clubhouse, Vero, Flickr, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Medium. I moved to Mastodon and Pixelfed. Also I created self hosted instance of writefreely (writefreely.social) and moved there all articles from Medium. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ownyourcontent" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ownyourcontent</a>

Jeff SikesPeople I trust on here are speaking out on the importance of owning your content. Most say start building content on a platform you control (a personal blog). Then disperse the content from there to other platforms (Mastodon, etc.)Anyone work at it from the OPPOSITE way? Have a worker process pulls in all social media posts into your own backup system?Either way, the concept interests me! Share if you have a process that works well for you. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OwnYourContent" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#OwnYourContent</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NoLockIn" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#NoLockIn</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MicroBlogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#MicroBlogging</a>

I fully agree with your opinion to <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/P2P" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#P2P</a>. While I think that the federated nature of the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fediverse</a> is still better than the siloes of <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/bigtech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bigtech</a> that we have to endure today, it still has flaws. With P2P we can achieve more. I made a (still very alpha) GitHub repo called ItIsMine. It is about how to get a better system for <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/web" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#web</a> and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/socialmedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#socialmedia</a> that allows us to <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ownyourcontent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ownyourcontent</a> and prevent any vendor or platform lock in.Any input very welcome!<a href="https://github.com/MarkusEicher/ItIsMine" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://github.com/MarkusEicher/ItIsMine</a>
