Avoid buying new .io domains (or making plans with existing ones; sell if you can)\n2. If you currently run a .io service\u2074 (for a company or community), make and publicize a transition plan (like a new domain, redirection, orderly shutdown plan for redirects)\n3. If you have a personal site on a .io domain\u2075 or subdomain, make your own transition plan, and perhaps post about how others should link to your posts\n4. If you are using someone else\u2019s .io domain to publish (like #GitHubPages\u2076), make a transition plan to publish elsewhere and leave a forwarding note and link behind\n5. If you use a .io domain as your Web sign-in login on any sites, switch them to another non-io personal domain\n6. Similarly if your site accepts #WebSignIn logins (via #IndieAuth, #RelMeAuth, or even #OpenID), consider discouraging any new sign-ups from .io domains, and warning any existing users with .io domains to switch per # 5\n7. If you have posts (or a whole #indieweb site) with links to .io sites or pages (like those in 2-4 above), make a plan for editing those links to point to an alternative or an archival copy (like on the Internet Archive) \n\nAnd of course, post about your #dotIO plans.\n\nGlossary\n\nDomain\n\u00a0https://indieweb.org/domain\nIndieAuth\n\u00a0https://indieweb.org/IndieAuth\nInternet Archive\n\u00a0https://web.archive.org/\nOpenID\n\u00a0https://indieweb.org/OpenID\nRedirect \n\u00a0https://indieweb.org/redirect\nRelMeAuth\n\u00a0https://indieweb.org/RelMeAuth\nWeb sign-in\n\u00a0https://indieweb.org/Web_sign-in\n\n\nReferences: \n\n\u00b9 https://indieweb.org/.io\n\u00b2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.io#Phasing_Out\n\u00b3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.cs\n\u2074 E.g. https://indieweb.org/webmention.io or https://indieweb.org/granary.io\n\u2075 E.g. https://indieweb.org/werd.io\n\u2076 https://indieweb.org/github.io \n\n\nThis is post 25 of #100PostsOfIndieWeb. #100Posts\n\n\u2190 https://tantek.com/2024/283/t1/metaphors-constructive-cooperative-joyful\n\u2192 \ud83d\udd2e",

It turns out I'm still excited about the web

        "text": "I\u2019m worried I\u2019ve become cynical about technology as I\u2019ve gotten older. But maybe technology really is worse.\n\nSomeone asked me the other day: \u201cwhat [in media and technology] are you excited about right now?\u201d\n\nWe both agreed that it was a surprisingly difficult question. And then came the follow-up:\n\n\u201cDo you think it\u2019s just because we\u2019re older now, or is the web really less exciting?\u201d\n\nAnd to be honest, I\u2019m not sure.\n\nI used to be so excited. If you sneak a glance at my high school yearbook, you\u2019ll see that I wanted to be a journalist. Telling stories was my first love. It\u2019s still where my brain feels the most comfortable. I love the flow state of writing more than doing just about anything else. That\u2019s why I keep writing here, and why my long-term plan is to pivot from a technology career to one where I get to write all the time.\n\nBut in 1994 or so, I got distracted by the web: what an amazing medium for stories. Many of us share the experience of trying out a browser like NCSA Mosaic, discovering voices from all over the world, and getting stuck into writing our own HTML code without having to ask anyone for permission or buy a software license to get started. I vividly remember when we got the ability to add our own background images to web pages, for example. For a long time, I was a master at table-based layouts.\n\nIn the UK, where I grew up, you were effectively forced to pick your university degree at 16. You were required to choose three or four A-level subjects to focus on for your last two years of high school; then you had to apply to do a particular degree at each university, knowing that each degree had subject requirements. If you wanted to study English at university, you needed to have chosen the English A-level; good luck getting in if you hadn\u2019t.\n\nSpecifically because I was distracted by the web, I put myself on the Computer Science track. Even then, I kept a Theater A-level, because I couldn\u2019t imagine a world where there wasn\u2019t some art and writing in my life. Most British universities correspondingly dismissed me for not being focused enough, but Edinburgh took me, so that\u2019s where I went. Even while I was doing the degree, I built a satirical website that got over a million pageviews a day - in 2001. I blogged, of course, and although I haven\u2019t kept a consistent platform or domain for all that time, I\u2019ve been writing consistently on the web since 1998.\n\nIt was a platform I got to approach with a sense of play; a sense of storytelling; a sense of magical discovery as I met new people and learned from their creativity.\n\nThe web sits apart from the rest of technology; to me, it\u2019s inherently more interesting. Silicon Valley\u2019s origins (including the venture capital ecosystem) lie in defense technology. In contrast, the web was created in service of academic learning and mutual discovery, and both built and shared in a spirit of free and open access. Tim Berners-Lee, Robert Cailliau, and CERN did a wonderful thing by building a prototype and setting it free. As CERN points out on its page about the history of the web:An essential point was that the web should remain an open standard for all to use and that no-one should lock it up into a proprietary system.That ethos is how it succeeded; it\u2019s why the web changed the world. And it\u2019s why someone like me \u2014 over in Scotland, with no networks, wealth, or privilege to speak of \u2014 was able to break in and build something that got peoples\u2019 attention. It\u2019s also why I was interested to begin with. \u201cThe internet is people,\u201d I used to say; more than protocols and pipes, the web was a fabric of interconnectedness that we were all building together. Even in the beginning, some people saw the web and thought, \u201cthis is a way I can make a lot of money.\u201d For me, it was always a way to build community at scale.\n\nAnd then Facebook \u2014 it always seems to be Facebook \u2014 became the first web company to reach a billion dollar valuation, in a year that happened to also see the launch of the iPhone. Building community at scale became finding customers at scale. There was a brief reprieve while global financial markets tumbled at the hands of terrible debt instruments that had been built on shaky foundations, and then the tech industry started investing in new startups in greater and greater numbers. Y Combinator, which had started a few years earlier, started investing in more and more startups, with higher and higher checks ($6,000 per founder for the first cohort, compared to half a million dollars per startup today). The number of billion-dollar-plus web startups grows by the hundreds every year.\n\nThe web I loved was swamped by a mindset that was closer to Wall Street. It\u2019s been about the money ever since.\n\nIt\u2019s so rare these days to find people who want to build that interconnectedness; who see it as a mission and a movement. People in tech talk excitedly about their total Compensation (which has earned its own shorthand acronym, TC), and less so what exciting thing they got to build, and what it allowed people to do. Maybe they\u2019ll give you a line about what they allow for the enterprise or increasing some company\u2019s bottom line, but it\u2019s usually devoid of the humanist idealism that enchanted me about the early web.\n\nI realized some time ago that the startups I personally founded in this era couldn\u2019t have succeeded, because my focus was all wrong. I wanted to be paid to explore and build this wonderful platform, and was not laser focused on how to build investor value. I still want to be paid to build and explore, try and make new things happen, with a sense of play. That\u2019s not, I\u2019m afraid to say, how you build a venture-scale business.\n\nSo, let\u2019s return to the question. Given this disillusionment, and my lack of alignment with what the modern tech industry expects of us, what am I excited about?\n\nMy cynicism has been tempered by the discovery that there are still movements out there that remind me of the web\u2019s original promise \u2014 efforts that focus on reclaiming independence and fostering real community. Despite the commercialization of the web, these are still places where that original spirit of openness and community-building thrives.\n\nThe Indieweb is one. It\u2019s an interdisciplinary group of people that advocates for everyone owning their own websites and publishing from their own domains. It\u2019s happening! From the resurgence of personal blogs to new independent publications like Platformer and User Mag, many people see the value of owning their presence on the internet and their relationships with their community. Independence from sites like Facebook and Google is surging.\n\nThe other is the Fediverse: a way to have conversations on the web that isn\u2019t owned by any single company or entity. The people who are building the Fediverse (through communities, platforms like Mastodon, cultural explorations) are expanding a patchwork of conversations through open protocols and collaborative exploration, just like the web itself was grown decades ago. It\u2019s phenomenally exciting, with a rapidly-developing center of gravity that\u2019s even drawing in some of the companies who previously were committed to siloed, walled-garden models. I haven\u2019t been this enthused about momentum on the web for twenty years.\n\nI was afraid I had become too cynical to find excitement in technology again. It wasn\u2019t true.\n\nWhile I\u2019ve grown more cynical about much of tech, movements like the Indieweb and the Fediverse remind me that the ideals I once loved, and that spirit of the early web, aren\u2019t lost. They\u2019re evolving, just like everything else.",
