I love all the #IndieWeb and #SmallWeb talk but I still don't see a lot of discussion of how to get The Average User (doesn't code, doesn't want to learn) into it. I stand on a fence line where I know just enough to tinker on my own site, but I can't seem to haul "regular" people over the fence - they're too intimidated and they aren't interested in the work. A lot of people already over the fence don't seem to notice that whole excluded group anymore. So...we just leave them? Is that the plan?

Honestly, despite the ruckus happening at #Twitter#Reddit and other #SocialMedia, 2023 is the happiest I've been online. That's because I discovered the idea of the #IndieWeb and also the #fediverse. I just feel more in control now and less manipulated by algorithms. As a content creator, I feel less helpless & able to reach readers. :)
The ability to control your information flow is priceless!

What happened to #Twitter and now #Reddit is an urgent reminder that we need to embrace #Indieweb principles if we want to preserve Internet communities and free flow of information.

@masukomi@webrecorder No need to conflate the "solve problem for everyone" with "save the content i care about" - the priority i shared in my original post.
If I've learned anything, it's that the larger coordination problems (cf web standards 😂) can take decades...
(I like that aspect of the #indieweb principles - "solve own problem first" as a design characteristic.)

I know that platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit aren't actually "the commons" but in my opinion there is a reason we see more engagement across a broader cross-section of stakeholders on these platforms -- they are easier to navigate.
I don't really have a succinct ending to this train of thought except if we expect things like the #IndieWeb to take off we need to make them more accessible to a wider cross section of people.

I wanted to add pingback support to WordPress pages so I could enable Webmentions on my new Guestbook. After a bit of searching, I extrapolated the correct functions.php snippet from a guide for a different point and added the functionality to pages without breaking my site.
