What's your connection to EGI 2? Are you involved in the production or are you just a super fan?

Are you going to change to a different Q&A website, with Retrospring shutting down March 2025?

Hey Gio! You should make it so that your link to your tumblr blog on your site links to the username.tumblr format vs the .com/username format, since that second format forces you to a login screen if you browse logged out. Enshittification climbs ever forward, it seems.

Hi! I'm on a school computer and have no access to discord, twitter, or anything else that I could use to tell you this. I'm trying to read Homestuck while in school, but they have it blocked. I found your web port of the Unofficial Homestuck Collection which, I guess, isn't blocked. Anyhow, I wanted to report a bug where the panels don't show up and only the text does. If you see this, thank you! You're the best.

Do you have any recommendation on tools to set up a blog similar to yours? (similar in the sense that you have tags, comment sections, i.e. the blog features) Was it all done in Pelican?
Yes, my blog is all done in pelican, but unfortunately I don't have a great offhand recommendation for an easy service this. My goto used to be Wordpress, but I haven't looked at that in a while. I've also seen Ghost as a "modern" option. Blogspot hasn't been workable for a long time. You could also make a static site using pelican and host it using something like Glitch or Neocities.

Hello,
given your recent series of blogposts about IP abuses, what do you think about Tom Scott's video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Jwo5qc78QU) about YouTube's copyright system and how it became to what it is now?
I watched it when it came out and I remember thinking it was good. I agree with his general thesis that YouTube is contorting around a copyright system not designed for the internet, and a lot of the problems with YouTube's system coming from the fact that it's a "layer" between the individual and the law. I think my response would be that a copyright system more like the one I describe in https://blog.giovanh.com/blog/2023/10/25/youve-never-seen-copyright/ would fit "The Internet" better, as a side-effect of fitting the whole world better in general.

Heyo,
how do you decide whether to post your thoughts on Bluesky, Mastodon or Twitter?

Hey Gio,
I have the impression that you are around the Internet for a very long time yet your oldest blog posts is from 2020. What did you do before the blog, and how did you come to start the blog in the first place?
I don’t have any other blog-style writing online. I’ve been on Twitter, Tumblr, and before that a number of different forums (MSPAF represent) and IRC. A lot of what would now be called “indieweb”.
How I came to start the blog is a longer topic I don’t really have a good answer to. I wanted to have a good space for longform writing, and I didn’t care if blogs were going out of style if they were still the best tool for the job.

Is your website the official location of the unofficial collection webapp or is it just there now for testing?

Hello!
You have a presence on Twitter, their hot up-and-coming alternatives Mastodon and Bluesky and Tumblr. But interestingly, CoHost is missing. Why is that the case?
I have a cohost at https://cohost.org/giovan-h, but I'm not currently using it much. Maybe in the future!
