#LoqiIt looks like we don't have a page for "Ten Days of Twitter" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Ten Days of Twitter is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#chrisaldrichPerhaps for those considering Known or WordPress and who have some technical skill... an outline for creating an indiewebified experience?
#chrisaldrichI'm curious whether those numbers include people with cell phones as "high-speed"? Building an indie. site on a cell phone is also a bigger feat
#chrisaldrichmuch less trying to even properly type indiesite on a cell phone properly... lol
#grantcodesYeah I don't think that is too bad for a huge country (can always improve though). Also "sufficient" is very vague... And doesn't account for people who only ever use a phone to access the internet (which I believe is actually a surprising large amount)
#KartikPrabhu... and some people still question why folks "just use FB"
#@EatPodcast↩️ Just discovered #10DoT and went looking for your chart. Page not found. Which, to me, suggests the need for an 11th day, devoted to the #indieweb and what it means to own your content. (twitter.com/_/status/980355834134892544)

#aaronpkanybody else self-conscious about creating anything online today since it will be marked with an Apr 1 date?
#Loqiaaronpk: cweiske left you a message 1 day, 5 hours ago: https://scripter.co/convert-seconds-to-human-time/#webmentions received a webmention written with quill and hosted on commentpara.de. kaushalmodi has a "write a comment" button under the blog posts that enabled that
#[jeremycherfas]It is really difficult, when something comes up in this channel, to stop before replying and think it ought to go elsewhere. Also, I’m a great believer in absorbing things by repeated exposure. So, I have no idea of the subtle differences among feeds, but I also know I don’t really need one.
#davy__That looks pretty cool. Also, It would make for a very poor April fools joke if they said "this is not an April fools joke" in the announcement and then said "ha! It was! Boy do you look silly for believing me!" the next day
#schmarty just enabled cloudflare DNS on 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1
#schmartyi guess this is super -dev related, but to address the april fools question, it is also working well over here.

#symon1I'm an absolute beginner wanting to get into my own website and out of FB etc. I've read a lot of Indieweb pages and FAQs but I have a few questions. Is there a more appropriate newbie chat or someone willing to exchange one on one for a bit?
#symon1Thanks. Can I syndicate to FB without having any account or presence there, e.g. via a friend or friend's group?
#tantekif you have no presence / account on FB, why would you want to syndicate there?
#aaronpkinstead of challenging the question, I will just say no, generally that is not possible, since facebook doesn't provide a mechanism to create content there unless it's tied to an account
#symon1I want to continue FB-like contact with that group of people but would really like to leave FB altogether.
[kevinmarks] joined the channel
#symon1How would FB know that I am not said friend if I am tying my content to them?
#aaronpki suppose yes you could use someone else's account if they let you. i do know some people who share FB accounts.
#jeremycherfasI'd agree with aaronpk, that's going to be very difficult. One possibility, if your friends on FB are up for it, is to get them either to subscribe to an email newsletter or even a feed of your site.

#chrisaldrichIt's also very likely that by posting content outside of FB that one's friends may be encouraged to do likewise.
#symon1Yes. Several of those people are also looking for a way to leave it while maintaining the casual content contacts.
#chrisaldrichI suppose one could create a "corporate page" for one's family and share that login/identity and have a "family page" for multiple people instead of dozens of accounts for that many people.
#chrisaldrichOf course, you're more likely to possibly run afoul of FB's terms of service and they could shut you down thereby losing access to such a group.
#aaronpkyeah doing anything aside from having an account per person is going to make facebook not happy and is likely not a sustainable solution
#jeremycherfasCan I ask symon1 what would be wrong with maintaining your presence purely as an outlet for certain posts that you originate on your own site? You can reply from your own site too. If you manage your account settings carefully, you could be OK.
#symon1Yes I'll probably end up maintaining a presence with minimal info. I guess it's a love/hate thing.
#aaronpkat this point my twitter and facebook are almost entirely a shadow copy of content from my website. the only original content I post on facebook is content in private groups.
#chrisaldrichSomething about all of this reminds me of the common parents' expression: "If you live under my roof, you live under my rules."
#jeremycherfasI'm the same, especially on FB. Twitter I do reply to in silo.
#symon1Wouldn't it be legitimate for someone on FB to have a feed to their favorite off-FB website cause they want their group to benefit from its greatness?
#chrisaldrichBy analogy, the IndieWeb in some sense is just the post-high school students on the web saying they're moving out of their parent's house for more freedom.
#jeremycherfasThere used to be something like that, because I remember using it. Networked blogs?
#aaronpksymon1: yes it's common to link to your personal website in twitter/facebook so people can find you outside of there
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
#symon1I meant that a friend who is not leaving FB could link to my website and/or get it into a group made up of my current FB friends. That should be legit because they like my site and want FB friends to get the benefit of seeing it, so to speak.
#chrisaldrichIn the vein of jeremycherfas' comment, there are some interesting experiments in the wild with multi-site WordPress with things like https://edublogs.org/ or /DoOO which have integrated readers for those participating.
#chrisaldrichHaving some super solid /readers is going to be one of the last major hurdles for the indieweb.
