The #indieweb is about making your own words translate to actions, especially actions like writing, editing, and publishing your words (or photos or other media) on your personal site. The IndieWeb community is a place to help and empower good faith folks to do so as well. People making what they need and optionally collaborating to do so.

We do encourage folks to document, open source, and share what they make, so others may benefit. However there is a difference between an encouragement to share openly, and implying any commitment of support to others, or an invitation for demands.

No one is entitled to demand that folks in the community, or the community as a whole, do something specific for others, whether it is as small as publishing some content or open sourcing some code, or supporting someone else’s protocol proposal or call to action on a survey or political action.

Anyone that wants to do that sort of thing is welcome to do it on their own, independently, or form their own affinity groups to do so.

We actually encourage the opposite of such demands, we encourage people to take breaks when they need to take care of more important life things:

Sorry to those I sent multiple webmentions to. But in related news, my webmention sender now (theoretically) knows how to tell how many new posts there were since the last build. Will hopefully publish stable versions of the libraries soon.

@edgy55.selfhosted.social indieweb, fediverse, microformats2, h-card, rel= "me". all these things were unbeknownst to moi until this summer and now I'm more confusidied than ever. but that is a good thing in my book.

Belonging.

Groucho Marx once said, "Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read."

He also said, "I refuse to join a club that would have me as a member."

I followed a bit of a rabbit hole, today. I was reading Kelly Adams' post about the IndieWeb, and I started to think about groups. His question was whether or not he was in fact a part of the IndieWeb.

Every time I try to optimize a website, it either breaks everything, or makes it worse. I’m designing a blog over here, I shouldn’t need an engineering degree or a PhD in computer science. It’s words and pictures. It’s not solving world peace or trying to align satellites. So, my site doesn’t live up to Google’s expectations. Oh well. Tough shit.

Sent my first webmention out from my website today. Granted it was to myself, but it showed up just like any other like from the fediverse or Bluesky.

It is confusing though with all these platforms where you should interact from. If I find a post on here, should I like it on the fediverse but also send a webmention like?¿? I don’t know but I guess I’ll figure it out as I go.
