[tantek] quote / transcript for the record?

I should have, long ago, supported Mastodon and ActivityPub as the alternative. My daughter sent me a text a clip of a TedX talk from the IndieWeb. Have you heard of this thing POSSE?

c​apjamesg That's my manual, off-the-cuff transcription, not an exact quote.

Loqi hey IWDiscord, it seems like this conversation is more appropriate for #indieweb-dev (ActivityPub)

c​apjamesg > Leo: My daughter sent me a text a clip of a TedX talk from the IndieWeb. Have you heard of this thing POSSE? Yeah, I’ve heard a little bit about that. She said it’s a really good idea.

c​apjamesg I recall us talking about this before.
#
[tantek] capjamesg, I have been collecting a bunch, and it goes far beyond "tech" it's more of a corporate problem (people in big boring corporations wanting to sound cool & powerful like a military)
#
c​apjamesg -> #chat actually
#
[tantek] not sure how indieweb related that is unless we're trying to actively avoid such metaphors in indieweb

#
[tantek] This feels very "own your data" indieweb adjacent perhaps even IndieNewsing-worthy: https://werd.io/2023/removing-my-home-information-from-the-internet
