Hey Finesse, it's a mix of what folks are most interested in, but the key goal is try and bring better ownership over our online presences. It generally leads from using your personal domain/website and i.e. trying to use it as the key space you interact with people. https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/10/20/indieweb-talk/ is a slightly longer read if you're interested, it's a transcript from a talk I've done on it :)

what is indieweb
#
Loqi
The IndieWeb is a community of individual personal websites, connected by simple standards, based on the principles of owning your domain, using it as your primary identity, to publish on your own site (optionally syndicate elsewhere), and own your data https://indieweb.org/IndieWeb

Woke up this morning to find a friend tweeting about adding h-cards to his homepage. Jabbering incessantly about IndieWeb: it works

#
dmitry
when it's this year?
wolftune and [jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106]
Orthodox or Gregorian calendar? For most it is tomorrow
#
[jgmac1106]
"*Easter* falls on the first Sunday following the first ecclesiastical full moon that occurs on or after the day of the vernal equinox"
#
[jgmac1106]
...all that full moon stuff is because it is really a Pagan festival of fertility to the Goddess Venus...just don't tell anybody.....church secret
#
dmitry
probably Gregorian, not sure
#
dmitry
thank you

An interesting IndieWeb thread relating to own one's data: https://twitter.com/chenoehart/status/1248494331356299264
#
@chenoehart
Using a web application instead of a standalone app (or a desktop program) always feels like Iā€™m putting trust in a relatively impermanent & precarious tool/service in a way that makes me slightly uncomfortable to use it. I wonder how often others perceive that feeling as well.

To me, it's kinda the opposite: Using a native app (on desktop or Android) makes me feel loosing control over what behaviour gets tracked.

#
dmitry
it's kind of both, actually :D
#
dmitry
if you're using an executable program, you're putting some trust in it's behaviour
#
dmitry
and if you're using a web app, you can never control your data
#
dmitry
worst case scenario: you're using a web app inside of Electron, which looks like you're using a program, while in fact not really
#
dmitry
in this case you're both losing control over your data and over program behaviour
#
dmitry
and it's the most common scenario nowdays
#
dmitry
the right way (in my opionion) is to use FOSS & GNU as much as possible, and when it's came to web - use indieweb sites instead of Google/facebook/etc
