This site is Federated

With the help of the ActivityPub plugin, this WordPress is federated. Additionally, my little replacement of Postmarks is my little Simple Bookmarks plugin. As a result, there’s a couple accounts you can follow on your federated platforms:

  • @at – for everything
  • @nick – Personal findings
  • @found – Bookmarks

Expect more pseudo in the future. These are for starters.

Other places you can find me?

Or if none of those work for you, google “ethernick” or “nick kempinski” or “nkempinski“
