Thanks to Matthew for reading my post on recent IndieWeb discourse and adding a new section with his responses and notifying me about it via email.
There are certainly a number of things in Matthewās response that tempt me to respond, but Iād like to focus on this:
I am, nevertheless, a little annoyed by the exhortation to ātalk with usā. What does it look like Iām doing over here, anyway? Oh, no, itās not good enough to post oneās opinion on the web. Iām supposed to use one of the IndieWebās chats, either IRC, Slack, or Discord. [ā¦] I am already talking with you. Iām doing it here, on my own website for all to see, in the best IndieWeb tradition. And you are talking to me if you quote me on your own website or email me.
I donāt consider my post a reply to Matthewās post. I do not see his post as an invitation to conversation. I read it as a ātakeā - an opinion piece intended to make the reader feel a certain way and then close the topic, complete with clickbait headline.
I shouldnāt have to point out that bloggers-blogging-at-bloggers has a long history of unproductive conversation. Reducing the impact of unproductive conversations is part is why thereās not an IndieWeb mailing list. Itās easy in these formats to go hard on the abstract, and to spend time constructing arguments instead of asking questions.
Thatās not to say that posts canāt inspire change. In the past day or so indieweb.org/discuss has been updated to mention right in the opening sentence that the IRC, web, Slack, and Discord chats are all bridged. Discussions have also kicked up (not for the first time) around making the homepage more welcoming, focusing on principles first, etc.
Those changes are being decided in the real-time chat, where you can meet and talk with the individuals (all volunteers!) who make up the IndieWeb community. I reckon it beats trying to reverse-engineer that community from a wiki.
Part 1 of my little "manifesto" is almost ready. Is it good? No. Is it unique? Also no. Is it sincere? Yes.
It's a mishmash of Buddhist, anarchist and humanist thought.

In our current digital landscape, where a corporate algorithm tells us what to read, watch, drink, eat, wear, smell like, and sound like, human curation of the web is an act of revolution. A simple list of hyperlinks published under a personal domain name is subversive.
Tantek Ćelik blogged about IndieWebCamp Portland:
We wrapped up with our usual Create Day Demos session, live streamed for remote attendees to see as well. Lots of great demos of things people built, designed, removed, cleaned-up, documented, and blogged! Everyone still at the camp showed something on their personal site!
I miss IndieWebCamp. Donāt think Iāve attended one since we hosted in Austin a couple weeks before COVID hit.
I'm working on updating her #website, https://mskiersten.com with a full page dedicated to the album and how to listen, but the changes aren't quite ready to go yet š
Feel free to check it out anyway and check back later for a shiny new page!
And please #boost the above post for visibility if you'd like to spread the word!
New blog post š°
Iāve owned several AppleTV models since the first generation. But as my current devices stop getting updated, Iām not sure I want to keep purchasing them.
Iāve also had Googleās devices but only on the dumb TVās my family doesnāt use. They are stuck in the Apple ecosystem for now.

Hey, #indieweb - who is dressing their sites for Halloween? It only a month now!
I wrote another article about #coffee . This time I did a little deep dive on the state of academic study on coffee.

Sharing for my fedi-peeps. Thatās a term, right?
Has the IndieWeb become discourse, again? https://martymcgui.re/2024/08/29/141602/
I just love how I stumble upon great personal homepages for technical stuff at work, and later stumble upon more, great personal homepages via fedi etc. at night. We really need to keep this #smallweb going! š )
Here's a rather old post about "The TTY demystified", along with its authors homepage: https://www.linusakesson.net/programming/tty/
#smallweb #tty #unix #smolweb #indieweb #internet #homepage #personalsites #sysadmin #linux #programming
There are some interesting things going on with the new Patreon-like Sub Club for the fediverse. Presumably it can send members-only posts via ActivityPub because it knows which followers are paid subscribers. Iām puzzled by the payment inside third-party apps, thoughā¦ I wonder how that works.
I like this post from Marty McGuire about the IndieWeb and how the indieweb.org wiki can sometimes be overwhelming for new users:
Thatās because indieweb.org is not a presciption or a cookbook or an exercise plan. It doesnāt tell you how to ābe IndieWebā. Itās a collective memory of experiments, some successful and some not, from a group of experimenters that has changed greatly over time.
Also some nice words for Micro.blog in there. The wiki is an incredible resource, but just start with your own web site and donāt worry about the rest unless you want to dig deeper.
Has the IndieWeb become discourse again?
