[tantek] oooh that article is part of Journalist wishful thinking for the next year: https://www.niemanlab.org/collection/predictions-2022/

# 
[benatwork] I have an article in most of the lists (including thr 2023 one that just came out) but skipped 2022. I read it most years but couldn’t bring myself to last year.
# [benatwork] Generally it’s fascinating as a snapshot of where journalism’s head is at - not necessarily as a prediction. I write about some form of indieweb every time I contribute

# [timothy_chambe] Year in review for the Mastodon instance of Indieweb.social - which was originally created in 2019 in an outrgrowth of discussions in this chat... we just crossed 10,000 users, over 5,000 of which were in the last 8 weeks.

starrwulfe[m] I've been sounding the alarm as a journalist on walled gardens and how we and the organizations we make content for/broadcast from should either own the network or use POSSE-like standards for almost a decade now.
# starrwulfe[m] I even gave a few talks about the subject-- "How to bento-box your public persona" was the working title. If interested, I'll dig up the old slide deck and post...
# IWDiscordRelay <capjamesg#4492> I am interested!
# starrwulfe[m] capjamesg: I need to clean it up into a format I can post on my site, but here's the money slide:
# starrwulfe[m] uploaded an image: (292KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/matrix.org/RpEnHLfbbykWihOKenXRqUho/image.png >
# starrwulfe[m] That was 2013~2016 when i was giving this particular talk... Still shocked I never knew anything about the Indieweb movement back then...
# [tantek] Always good to see the /principles flourishing regardless of what we call them or who is making them happen! The mid-2010s were a very innovative time for all things independent web

# starrwulfe[m] Thanks [tantek]
# starrwulfe[m] I just knocked something together to post it to my site -- the principles I talked about then are why I'm suddenly here in earnest!
# starrwulfe[m] I really want to get back to basics and see if I can make one site my "root" site and use it as journal, archive, statusnet, and conversation hub if possible...

# starrwulfe[m] I'm currently trying to find a way to stick a `rel=me` link on my current website so I can even do webauth... Otherwise I'll have to temporarily do it on my trial micro.blog site for now... not sure if I'm gonna keep it though.
# starrwulfe[m] 🐰➡️🕳️ time.

[chrisaldrich] What is journalism?
# Loqi 📰 Indieweb for Journalism is the application of Indieweb principles to one's personal site with a particular emphasis on use cases for journalists, photographers, editors, related bloggers and platforms which are publishing their work https://indieweb.org/journalism
# [chrisaldrich] I'd love to see anything you could add to this page starrwulfe. ^^

# starrwulfe[m] 🤔 Interesting... Let me ponder this for a second... Maybe ask some other journo buddies and see what they have to add as well
# starrwulfe[m] one very good example would be [Texas Observer (mastodon link)](https://texasobserver.social/@TexasObserver) and their use of their own instance to self-verify
# starrwulfe[m] They just came into the Fedi a month or so ago but lead the charge for other indie outlets to use OpenSNS/Fediverse as well as their own sites and syndicate out to silos.
