Alan Levine links to the Website League (and his attempt to link to his Pinboard feed shows why we need something like this). The League is "a bunch of smallish websites that talk to each other. You can go on the one you've chosen and post, and see posts by the people you follow." How does it work? It's similar to services like Mastodon, where there are separate websites, but these are focused on smaller user groups writing blog posts (by contrast, being in Mastodon is like 'living in an apartment building'). And while in the Mastodon fediverse servers block sites they don't want to connect to (aka 'denylist mode'), in the Website League, services explicitly declare what sites they do want to connect to (aka 'allowlist mode').
