Syndication Engine Verification
Powering cross-platform publishing for the independent web.
What is this?
This URL identifies the Syndication Engine used by the Ownet ecosystem. You likely followed a link attached to a post on social media platforms like Mastodon, BlueSky, or LinkedIn.
It signifies that the post was originally published on an independent, user-owned website and was automatically "syndicated" (cross-posted) to the current platform.
The POSSE Principle
We follow the POSSE principle: Publish (on) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere.
This allows authors to remain in full control of their content, hosting it on their own domain, while still participating in the broader social conversations on centralized platforms.
The Ownet Syndication Engine handles the technical formatting and delivery to various APIs while ensuring the original post on the author's own domain remains the primary source of truth.
Technical Identity
While the identifier belongs to Ownet, the syndication engine itself is part of the indie-wemblate software, which is open-source and used by many independent blogs across the web.
