This should go to my roadmap page perhaps but I’m keeping it here as a note just to remember :
ActivityPub
- Improve Quotes display on my AP reader
- Improve image rendering
- Improve Quick Reply (replies that are not stored in this blog database and instead only exist as AP replies) feature so that it shows the actual post, not the JSON representation of my quick reply
- Improve CSS of the AP reader, links are hard to read (blue on grey)
- Fixed hashtags
Conversation aka Brid.gy like
- rebuild reply context to posts so that my replies to other users replies also show up in the right order in the reply thread
Eleventy
- Find a way to render #hashtags in posts, link them to my categories

continuing from my previous post, now I also have a “read it later” plugin for indiekit, this means i can save things for later from several parts of my backyard
- microsub RSS feeds collection
- Blogroll
- Podroll
- Listening
Whatever I save for later ends up here
its really handy because my RSS aggregation is configured to NOT keep items indefinitely, it will keep the last 30 items and flush everything else but if I save something from somewhere then its safe on my read it later vault

Reclaiming My RSS Workflow
For years, my RSS reading and my writing have lived in parallel worlds. I consume through feeds, but I publish through my blog. I am increasingly convinced that this separation makes no sense, at least for a segment of my RSS subscriptions.
I have been thinking about moving my RSS reading habits outside of FreshRSS and expanding my custom RSS feed reader to import my OPML from FreshRSS.
The goal is simple: build a fully custom RSS reader with a built-in authenticated Micropub feature, deeply integrated with #indiekit.
If you’re reading this, you cannot see those interaction buttons because you’re not logged in.
On my side, I can click a button and send any item I’m reading directly into my blog’s new post creation flow. This means I can quickly comment on any external URL I’m subscribed to, and I can do so as a native IndieWeb Like, Bookmark, Reply, Repost, or even a full blown Note or Article.
When I click this “post button” either on blogroll, podroll or news or in the backend with Microsub, I can select the post type in advance.
Based on that choice, it prefills the title and URL in the appropriate fields of the post creation flow.
This may seem trivial, but for me it changes everything. I have long wanted to collapse the distance between reading and publishing, between consuming feeds and participating in them. News should not live in one silo and my blog in another.
Concretely, I might be on my podroll page listening to a podcast episode and decide to react. In just a few clicks, I can publish a response on my blog and syndicate it to Bluesky and Mastodon. Reading becomes publishing. Subscribing becomes participating.
My RSS workflow becomes part of my writing workflow.
I figured that if I really want to blog more often about what I read, explore on the web or my coding experiments my blog would need to become a hub for me, not just a blog in the open.
What’s your setup?

The core idea is replacing HTTP(S) URIs with server-independent identifiers: ap:// URIs that use a Decentralized Identifier (DID) as the authority component, rather than a domain name. An object identified as ap://did:key:z6Mk…/actor can live on multiple servers simultaneously and survives any single server disappearing.

Le pire c’est que les personnes qui suivent ces formations et qui font ces expériences sont persuadées d’avoir trouvé le graal ou en tout cas quelque chose de plus que les gens qui ne suivent pas le troupeau mainstream auraient.
Ils ne se rendent pas compte qu’ils font partie du troupeau, un troupeau sur une piste parallèle mais troupeau quand même… ce dernier saute d’alter en alternatives comme mode de vie tout en prétendant savoir pour les masses.

After listening to this Podcast: Conspiracy Theory Nation
Conspiracy Theories Never Helped Epstein’s Victims
The recent renewed attention around the Epstein files has reignited a familiar chorus online. The same voices that pushed Pizzagate and later QAnon are once again claiming vindication.
They were not vindicated.
They were never right about anything.
And more importantly: they were never fighting for victims.
The Difference Between Exposing Abuse and Exploiting It
When Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes became public, what emerged was horrific but concrete: documented trafficking, credible survivor testimony, financial networks, powerful connections, institutional failures.
What conspiracy communities did was something entirely different. They absorbed those facts into a pre-existing narrative about a secret “cabal,” satanic rituals, coded messages in pizza menus, and an apocalyptic struggle between good and evil.
The focus was never on survivors. It was on proving the myth.
Movements like QAnon and the earlier Pizzagate did not emerge from investigative rigor. They emerged from anonymous message boards, pattern-seeking speculation, and political grievance.
They claimed to defend children. But they did not listen to children.
The Scapegoat Reflex
Conspiratorial thinking thrives on grand villains. The “elite cabal.” The hidden global network. The satanic ring.
But real abuse is rarely cinematic.
Epstein’s network operated through wealth, access, legal manipulation, social protection, institutional cowardice, and sometimes state failure. The impunity surrounding Jeffrey Epstein was not mystical. It was structural.
Conspiracy movements simplified that complexity into a moral cartoon. In doing so, they shifted attention from:
- How institutions failed
- How power shields predators
- How survivors struggle to be heard
- How legal systems protect the well-connected
Instead, everything became proof of “The Plan,” “The Storm,” or hidden codes only believers could decode. That is not accountability. That is mythology.
Where Were the Victims?
Even after the release of large volumes of Epstein-related documents, the reaction from conspiracy circles followed the same pattern:
Not careful reading. Not support for survivors. Not analysis of institutional reform.
Instead: selective screenshots, viral threads, wild extrapolation, and renewed cabal narratives.
The central tragedy is this: the louder the conspiracy noise became, the harder it was for real survivor voices to be heard.
Survivors need:
Legal support Public credibility Trauma-informed reporting Institutional reform
They do not need internet detectives chasing coded symbolism in celebrity photos.
The energy was never directed toward victim services, policy reform, or legal advocacy. It was directed toward narrative dominance.
Conspiracism as Distraction
There is a dangerous paradox here. Yes, elites sometimes protect their own.
Yes, powerful people can evade accountability.
Yes, state institutions can fail catastrophically.
But conspiracy culture does not clarify those failures. It obscures them.
When everything becomes a satanic cabal, nothing is concrete anymore. Structural corruption turns into fantasy. Legal accountability turns into prophecy. Evidence becomes optional.
In that environment, serious journalism, legal processes, and survivor testimony all compete with viral fiction.
And fiction wins attention. Part of the Problem
The QAnon fringe is not a counterforce to elite impunity. It is part of the ecosystem that sustains it.
By flooding the public sphere with outlandish claims, it:
- Undermines credibility around legitimate investigations
- Polarizes discourse into partisan spectacle
- Allows real abusers to dismiss scrutiny as “conspiracy nonsense”
- Exhausts public attention
- Noise is a shield.
- Spectacle is a shield.
- When everything is exaggerated, nothing sticks.
Accountability Is Boring — and Necessary
Real justice is procedural. Slow. Imperfect. Often disappointing. It involves courts, documents, witnesses, cross-examination, journalism, reform, funding, and persistence.
It does not involve secret codes on 8chan.
If we care about victims — truly care — then the measure of our engagement is simple:
Did we amplify their voices? Did we strengthen their legal paths? Did we support institutional reform?
Did we resist sensationalism?
Conspiracy movements failed that test.
They were not about children. They were not about justice. They were about narrative power. And narrative power without responsibility is not resistance.
It is distortion.
