Marty McGuire Recent Posts Fri Oct 11 Videos from the last XOXO are going up on YouTube. Here’s a playlist of XOXO 2024 main stage talks . There are a lot of lessons to take away from these, and many calls to action. But if you only watch one, it should maybe be this one that broke the audience entirely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Df_K7pIsfvg # XOXO # 2024 # delicious-burger 🔗 October 11, 2024 at 4:30PM EDT • by Marty McGuire Tue Oct 1 📍 Checked in at Avocaderia , Brooklyn , NY . 🥑🥗 🔗 October 1, 2024 at 1:28PM EDT • by Marty McGuire See also: Wed Sep 18 🔁 Reposted https://mastodon.social/@mweinberg/113159044341136083 Michael Weinberg post from September 18, 2024 at 10:33AM EDT Sketchfab, which had been a popular place for GLAM institutions to host their 3D models, just announced that they are basically shutting down the non-monetized part of their service. @nebulousflynn has a evolving breakdown of what it means 🔗 September 18, 2024 at 5:12PM EDT • by Marty McGuire Sat Sep 14 🔁 Reposted https://www.citationneeded.news/hachette-v-internet-archive/ 🔗 September 14, 2024 at 11:48PM EDT • by Marty McGuire Thu Sep 12 Has there been a tragic accident during eternal Caturday # Caturday 🔗 September 12, 2024 at 9:12PM EDT • by Marty McGuire Tue Sep 10 🔁 Reposted https://adactio.com/journal/21405 Jeremy Keith post from September 10, 2024 at 2:42PM EDT What price?

There are certainly a number of things in Matthew’s response that tempt me to respond, but I’d like to focus on this: I am, nevertheless, a little annoyed by the exhortation to “talk with us”. What does it look like I’m doing over here, anyway? Oh, no, it’s not good enough to post one’s opinion on the web. I’m supposed to use one of the IndieWeb’s chats, either IRC, Slack, or Discord. […] I am already talking with you. I’m 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 don’t consider my post a reply to Matthew’s post. I do not see his post as an invitation to conversation. I read it as a “take” - an opinion piece intended to make the reader feel a certain way and then close the topic, complete with clickbait headline . I shouldn’t 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 there’s not an IndieWeb mailing list . It’s easy in these formats to go hard on the abstract, and to spend time constructing arguments instead of asking questions. That’s not to say that posts can’t 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. 🔗 August 30, 2024 at 5:05PM EDT • by Marty McGuire Thu Aug 29 Sharing for my fedi-peeps. That’s a term, right? Has the IndieWeb become discourse, again? http://martymcgfuraocsgy2a25btl5srhifcdud6m4eiphz2mq6fafttwh7qd.onion/2024/08/29/141602/ Marty McGuire post from August 29, 2024 at 2:16PM EDT Has the IndieWeb become discourse again? I recently read Has the IndieWeb Become Irrelevant from starbreaker.org. 🔗 August 29, 2024 at 3:35PM EDT • by Marty McGuire Has the IndieWeb become discourse again? I recently read Has the IndieWeb Become Irrelevant from starbreaker.org . The post does a great job linking to and summarizing a spate of posts that I will call “people being mad at the IndieWeb”, while also being one of these posts. These posts accuse “the IndieWeb” of being elitist, exclusionary, overengineered, complicit, and unnecessary, among many other things. There are some common threads I noticed among these posts: None of them mention micro.blog ! They seem to attack a “straw person” version of the IndieWeb, where one is expected to read, follow, and implement over a decade of experimentation on the web. Micro.blog is real Folks that would like to try a turnkey website hosting service, where: you bring your own domain (or register a new one!) you can leave and take your content with you whenever you want requires no coding (and no plugins to configure, and no “files and folders”) offers mobile and desktop apps that let you post (and read) the kinds of content you want supports IndieWeb building blocks to let you follow and interact with other people via your own websites I don’t see eye-to-eye with its creator Manton Reese about everything, but micro.blog is a great example of a real world service that makes use of IndieWeb building blocks in ways that customers benefit from without having to build anything! The rest is wiki I think many of other complaints, from being “overengineered” to (paraphased) “POSSE makes IndieWeb complicit with the corporate web”, come from misconstruing the IndieWeb wiki at indieweb.org as the entirety of “being IndieWeb”. When I discovered indieweb.org (in maybe 2015?) I was intrigued and nearly instantly overwhelemed. Trying to absorb all the concepts there would be nearly impossible. Understanding and implementing all the techniques there is actually impossible. That’s because indieweb.org is not a presciption or a cookbook or an exercise plan. It doesn’t tell you how to “be IndieWeb”. It’s a collective memory of experiments, some successful and some not, from a group of experimenters that has changed greatly over time. For example, I find that criticisms like “f*ck the corporate web and f*ck IndieWeb for interoperating with the corporate web” don’t really hold up when a lot of that stuff doesn’t even work anymore . On corporate complicity Automatic POSSE , syndicating posts from your own site out to your profiles on social silos, only ever barely (and briefly) worked for Instagram, was turned off for Facebook a few years ago, and was all but destroyed for Twitter shortly after its last acquisition. backfeed - pulling comments and likes from these platforms to display on your own site - has similarly been blocked by technical measures. These were experiments that worked for a time. People used them for a time. That time has passed and the people have moved on. Some folks have replaced their Twitter usage with something like Mastodon, or Blue Sky, or Threads, and amazing people like Ryan have stepped up to help experiment with bridging personal sites and federated services . There is no “the way”, only “your way” People don’t have to move on for purely technical reasons. Even before Twitter closed their APIs, many in the IndieWeb community were shuttering their Twitter accounts and removing posts. They moved on from Twitter, despite a...
