        "text": "I love the indieweb and what it stands for:When you post something on the web, it should belong to you, not a corporation. Too many companies have gone out of business and lost all of their users\u2019 data. By joining the IndieWeb, your content stays yours and in your control.This principle is absolutely true, but on a deeper level, I\u2019m also uncomfortable with the level of wealth hoarding and rent seeking on the modern internet. There\u2019s no need for us all to be pouring our conversations, identities, and data into someone\u2019s multi-billion-dollar for-profit enterprise. By owning it ourselves, we\u2019re decentralizing the value created. While it\u2019s not necessarily an anti-capitalist stance, it\u2019s certainly an anti-monopoly one.I didn\u2019t start Known to be an indieweb platform: I initially built it, back when it was called Idno, to be a simple way to start a private community on your own terms. My intention was always to add decentralization to these communities, and I was enamored by the vision of the indieweb when I met members of the community and saw what they were building. Turning it into a way for a single person to post using the indieweb just made sense to me, and that\u2019s how a lot of people use it - including me on my own website.The best way to drive adoption for a web standard is to make it as easy as possible to build with. Any good web technology should be implementable inside of an afternoon, so that a casual hacker can feel like they\u2019ve made good progress. (Too many technologies are built to be used at Facebook scale, which is needless.) HTML works this way; so does RSS. And the indieweb technologies - microformats to add machine-readable meaning to content, micropub to provide a standard way to publish, and webmention as a mechanism for decentralized replies chiefly among them - all follow this rule too. They\u2019re easy, fault-tolerant, and are built using a very similar mindset to the web itself. I love them.Lately I\u2019ve been drawn into the fediverse through Mastodon - you can follow me at @ben@werd.social. The underlying technology behind the fediverse, ActivityPub, at first glance seems a little harder to implement. In fact, I was a little scared of it, because it requires a mix of light cryptography and a handful of less HTML-like document standards that seem easy to get wrong. But dig a little deeper and it\u2019s not particularly difficult to get started with, with huge reward: connecting to a network of millions of people who are all actively having conversations.So I\u2019m newly-invested in implementing ActivityPub and building end-user tools that join the network. I\u2019m excited to build things that people can use to, in turn, build something new. There are a ton of opportunities here: we\u2019re in a particular moment where the fediverse looks like it could be the future, and the more tools and onramps we build, the more likely that becomes. That fits directly into those indieweb principles of owning your own content, and my additive principles of devolving wealth and ownership.Luckily, it\u2019s not a zero-sum game. I can still keep and maintain my indieweb implementations and participate in its network of blogs and personal sites, while also adding ActivityPub and widening my lens to the fediverse\u2019s interlocking communities. I get to own my content and online identity, which means I get to choose who and what I interact with.I have one exception. One of the indieweb\u2019s oldest ideas, Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere, is something I plan to retire in my own use. The idea is that you publish on your own site but then mirror that content to a third-party silo like Twitter, ideally with a link back to your site. But with the growth of the fediverse, I\u2019d like to be done with doing that. I\u2019ve already stopped publishing to Twitter, and I think Instagram and Facebook will quickly follow suit. Right now my only real syndication is to LinkedIn, and I don\u2019t know that I want to make that network exactly central to my existence online.So instead of Publishing on my Own Site and Syndicating Elsewhere, I plan to just Publish and Participate. I want my site to connect to the indieweb; to the fediverse; to people who are connecting via RSS; to people who are connecting via email. No more syndication to third parties. My own website sits in the center of my online identity, using open standards to communicate with outside communities.That principle wasn\u2019t possible when I started building Known, and I\u2019m excited that it is now. I\u2019m late to the party: micro.blog, for example, does this already. But better late than never.

Wouldn\u2019t it be nice <em>not</em> to have ads shoved in your face every time you open an app to see what your friends are up to? Wouldn\u2019t it be nice to know that when your friends post something, you\u2019ll actually <em>see</em> it without a social media platform deciding whether to shove it down your feed and pump that feed full of stuff you didn\u2019t ask for?</p>\n  \n  <p>Wouldn\u2019t that be <em>great</em>?</p>\n</blockquote>"

I spend hours tweaking my css to make the site look how I want. I contribute patches and discussions to the help build, improve, and add features to the microblog.pub software that I use. All of that is a source of joy for me.\nBut that's me.\nMost people don't have my technical privilege. Most people just want a social media platform that will do the job of connecting them to their networks and showing them the content they're looking for.\nAnd I can yell and shout about how #indieweb or fedi/masto/AP is better than platforms for this that or the other reason. And I do genuinely believe in those open platforms for those reasons. But those reasons aren't why I love them. I love them because the open systems are empowering to me, specifically, because of my technical privilege and because they provide a space for me to play in the way I like to play.\nWhat sucks, though, is that this is about community. There are plenty of things in life where if you want to do things your weird way that's different to everyone else, you can do that and have your fun and it doesn't actually matter what other people think.\nBut that's not true for social networking.

I deeply love open platforms. I love the web. I want other people to love it too and to come join me playing there. But I also totally understand why the touted benefits of those platforms don't even remotely make up for the poor UX to people who just want the social media to work. It's all well and good to be invested in the community project of building the network but not everyone has the desire or the resources to be part of that kind of project.
