I run it on a $6 digital ocean droplet out of my pocket. It's basically similar to an RSS reader. It doesn't have to do a lot of things that's why it's free.

Apologies for the bad experience.

I appreciate the feedback especially the detailed description of your interaction with the site. This is helpful for me so I can create a better experience for new users.

I just checked and you're right. I seriously didn't know. Thanks for telling me. Good eye!

Interesting. I've only heard of this now. This seems like the fediverse equivalent of my project and it's miles ahead of what I've accomplished so far. I'll be using this for inspiration. Thanks for sharing.

Can you elaborate? I just checked the site and saw someone has already added a site with substantial data. It kind of looks like spam to me since this is meant for personal sites. Maybe you saw that? If yes, then I agree. It looks suspicious because I don't have any moderation logic in place.

But if you mean something else, it would be nice if you can tell me why. I'll do my best to address it.

Webmention is great, it's truly decentralized but it doesn't work if you have a static site which is probably a considerable percentage of personal sites.

In the future, I might come up with something that integrates Webmention for sites that already have them.

Thanks for pointing this out, it's an important aspect of comment sections. Honestly, I'm still at the stage of figuring out how to deal with this. As of the moment, the only control I have is to delete individual feeds that don't classify as a personal website or spam.

An idea I have is to implement a publicly-viewable ban list. Possibly a file like `bans.txt` available in the public repo which anyone can discuss and add suggestions. This will be a list of domains which Bhread and other instances can reference as an 'ignore' list.

I'm open for ideas. I'm still looking for other options.

Hey thanks for checking this out.

I've considered this, Bhread detects replies when another site publishes a post containing this:

- A string: "replying to "

- followed by a link to the the one they're replying to

I think this is enough to provide context but it's still early to tell if that's effective.

Yes! I've been thinking about this for months now. How would a normal person on the internet find information and enjoy the internet if most stuff they can find revolve around closed platforms, or SEO marketing sites.

The best way to use the internet is to distribute information for everyone to see. Yet, that's not the direction it seems to be heading towards.

I really believe that the fun part of the interner is in small sites, and I think we need more projects that try to find these small, but important corners of the internet.
