Yesterday, Sacha Judd (@sachajudd.com) reminded us to “teach someone …. something about building for the web”, and to “take back control of your feeds, your attention, and … go exploring again”. She encouraged us to “build healthy online neighborhoods”. That’s a great metaphor and very complementary to rebuilding your own home(page) on the web with perhaps a digital garden as well!
Today, Ana Rodrigues (@anarodrigu.es@ohhelloana.blog) connected the dots from Sacha’s reminders to encouraging everyone to join burgeoning healthy online neighborhoods like: * 32-Bit Cafe (@32bit.cafe and see their Discord & Discourse) * IndieWeb Community (@indieweb.org and see @chat.indieweb.org for Discord, IRC, Slack)
Both are filled with online neighbors helping and teaching each other how to make what people want to express on and for their personal sites!
Know of other healthy online neighborhoods? Let me know and I’ll add them to the IndieWeb communities page!

I didn’t want to post this back when the fire was raging (no need to be sensationalist), but back when the Flat Fire first began in central Oregon on August 21, I was boondocking and saw it pretty close up. I had to adjust my plans so I would be a safe distance away across the Deschutes river valley. 😲
