Also Dreamhost is a great option if you just want something to host on.

Especially for static or PHP-based sites. You can also theoretically run application stacks on there if you luck out on the overallocation lottery although I wouldn’t trust that long-term.

I don't think I agree with the suggestion, but the diagram of twitter components could be mapped to indieweb ones https://stratechery.com/2022/back-to-the-future-of-twitter/

what is a social graph
#
Loqi
A social graph is a network of social profiles/identities and relationships between them, either on a single site like a silo, across the web, or in-person connections https://indieweb.org/social_graph
#
jacky
begins the rabbit hole
#
[tantek]
social graph is borderline jargon tbh
#
[KevinMarks]

I can see something like this helping with discovery
#
jacky
being able to 'crawl' rel-mes and the like
#
jacky
def counter to the objective of silos that use those graphs as a form of currency

jacky
my only thing with these things is that they 'want' to be centralized
#
jacky
like some kind of 'global' ledger

That was a problem in 2008 - once Google started crawling them, the other silos were less keen on publishing them. They didn't want to be commoditised
#
jacky
looking at all of this
#
jacky
it'd be way easier if people owned their data and had clients that could provide specialized views
