VocalCat

I learned about VocalCat from Doug Belshaw. Essentially, VocalCat is:

The decentralized link-in-bio that connects to the Fediverse. Share links, collect badges, and own your online presence — no corporation in the middle.

Features

  • Link-in-Bio
    Add unlimited links, organize them your way. A clean, fast profile page that works everywhere.
  • ActivityPub Native
    Your profile is a first-class citizen on Mastodon, Pleroma, Misskey and every ActivityPub platform.
  • Badge Collection
    Receive and showcase verifiable badges from issuers across the Fediverse. Proof of achievement, decentralized.
  • Login with Mastodon
    No new password needed. Sign in with your existing Mastodon account from any instance.
  • Auto-Boost & Relay
    Consolidate your Fediverse presence. Automatically boost posts from your other accounts into one unified profile.
  • Open Source
    Fully transparent. Self-host it, audit it, or contribute on GitHub. Your data stays yours, always.

I’ve created an account for myself, Troy Patterson on VocalCat, which you can check out.

I’m not sure yet how this is different than the About Me Page on my website. I’m going to guess discoverability?

Part of VocalCat is that you can display badges. That got me to thinking. I know that I have a few Moodle badges, but I don’t remember if I have other badges.

Badges

Anyway, here are the Moodle Badges I’ve been awarded. (This will also be useful for “future me” when I need to look for badges.)

The one below is not really mine. Shawn McGirr asked me to submit an entry into the H5P awards. I submitted the entry, Vocabulary Practice using Rebus Puzzles by Shawn McGirr as part of Middle School Matters. Shawn was a finalist. However, since I had submitted, my name is associated with it. To be clear, Shawn did the work and is deserving of the award.
