petermolnar that article [tantek] added to Pinterest recently - https://find.yourweirdos.com/posts/the-quiet-giant - raises some really interesting questions, mainly the: "As it turns out, there are a whole lot of weirdos out there in search of inspiration, and of self-expression through collecting" quote. When I started doing a website in ~99, it was a collection of stuff I found interesting at the time. From an indieweb perspective, this is rath
# petermolnar er out of focus for our usual goals/approach/etc, but it made me think that what if our primary directive should emphasie self-expression more, than anything with data, or privacy.

[jgmac1106] I collect quotes: https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/tag/quote and bookmarks but started a wiki because it didn't fit a stream building collections and stuff, more organized weirdness
# [jgmac1106] said from the get go there are two steps to IndieWeb. Get a blog. Bring a passion
# [jgmac1106] "primary directive should emphasie self-expression more" is my primary goal
# 
jeremycherfas An emphasis on self-expression requires tools that allow you to do that, and as a silo, Pinterest is great at that. As was Tumblr.
# petermolnar > Get a blog - this is one of the problems: self-expression has nothing to do with blogs.
# petermolnar correction:
# petermolnar a site/place/etc to self-express, or to show interest, doesn't have to be a blog in terms of web-log.
# petermolnar Zegnat's h-card monster is a good example.
# jeremycherfas I agree. And the "reverse chronological" part of the original idea of a web log isn't a requirement either.
# [Raphael_Luckom] As someone who is totally out of the loop: why do people talk about tumblr in the past tense? It seems to still be allowing signups, has something about it changed?
# [jgmac1106] I know I am using word blog as a catch all for "quickly add content to my site". The kids I work with don't care about chronology, it is chronological bc it is. To them it is just content
# [jgmac1106] tumblr is still all the rage, it just is a good estimate of someone's age and/or participation in niche stan communities,
# [jgmac1106] Came across this poem "Unfold your own myth" as a good definition of IndieWeb a stanza: https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2020/11/27/but-dont-be-satisfied-with-stories-how
# petermolnar [Raphael_Luckom]: who's talking about tumblr in past tense? Though the reason could be that since it was sold to Automattic, there isn't much of a word about it.
# [Raphael_Luckom] jeremycherfas, above: "As was Tumblr"
# [jgmac1106] to me it Tumblr still has one of the best social publishing tools, though reshares as content get tiresome
# [Raphael_Luckom] I like that quote. Rumi can always be counted on for a banger.
# jeremycherfas It is in the past tense for me because I have been totally unable to recover my account, despite jumping through endless hoops. Therefore, I have no idea what it is like now.
# [jgmac1106] Full poem: https://www.stillnessspeaks.com/unfolding-your-own-myth-ibrahims-epiphany-rumi/ This is really my first deep dive, but that is more the chat channel. I just love when you find quotes about the web from the 1200s
