[contact898] I absolutely hate that. I hide my follower counts from myself as much as possible and would be depressed for several hours when I used to check and notice an unfollow. (This also goes into the "I have a dopamine problem and social media has ruined my formative years" folder.)
# [contact898] i know some people find it useful but for the depressed and extremely online people out there: if you're going to keep it please make it opt-in

# [lcs] My thought upon seeing that one: If Tim Berners Lee couldn't be bothered to make his own website, what hope is there?!

[Murray] Yeah, I'd second the opt-in preference for showing unfollows. I can't think a single positive to knowing that (for me) 😄 I don't really make note of my follower count, so I would never notice it go down, but if I saw that someone had unfollowed me I think that would only result in an overall negative experience, so would definitely prefer to just not know 😉

# mauromotion hello indieweb folks! How is it going?
# [contact898] i'm on the train to paris and coming back home on thursday. as usual when i go to paris my schedule is PACKED but i'm really excited! (also, i never stay long enough to see all my friends, having moved away only less than a year ago, which makes me a bit sad.)
# mauromotion a brief introduction: I'm a former motion designer living in London UK. During the pandemic I had too much time on my hand and I realised I needed a change of career/industry. I've always been into open source technologies and always been a nerd at heart. I finally decided to learn programming and now, a year after, I'm deep into the various Harvard's CS50 courses, in a path towards web
# mauromotion development.
# mauromotion I'm the admin of a mastodon server (mograph.social), I also have my personal website at blog.mauromotion.com
# mauromotion I've been following the indieweb scene ever since I found about it a few years ago, and one of the main motivations I have to learn web dev is to be able to implement the needed technologies into my personal website to be part of the indieweb movement.
# [contact898] welcome!
# mauromotion alright! I haven't used an IRC channel in like 15 years, sorry about that!
# [contact898] I've always been into open source technologies and always been a nerd at heart. I finally decided to learn programming and now, a year after, I'm deep into the various Harvard's CS50 course -> oh hey cool! I'm at week 6 (python) of the basic course!
# mauromotion But I ghuess that's it :)
# [contact898] (i think the request to change channels is automated and wrong as it just picked up on keywords)
# mauromotion oh hey cool! I'm at week 6 (python) of the basic course! -> that's great! Nice to meet another fellow CS50 scholar
# mauromotion and thanks for the welcome!

Loqi 💬 Join the #indieweb discussion via the web, Slack, IRC, or Discord clients now with additional channels for dev, wordpress, and meta specific chat! https://indieweb.org/discuss
# mauromotion I might move to Discord, but I don't like it, matrix would be better. I wanted to give a shot at the old good IRC :), but I can feel the (UX) pain now lol

# [daveletorey] I am also moving to Discord, I really don’t like slack
# [daveletorey] see you on other side
barnaby and mauromotion joined the channel; mauromotion left the channel
# [contact898] Matrix would be ideal. I really dislike the Discord bridge (and discord in general, to be fair) but enjoy the slack one!

# dletorey Hello IndieWorld, I have switched over to Discord rather than slack, I just feel way more comfortable over here.
# dletorey 👋 https://letorey.co.uk
# mauromotion the irony is that I can't join the discord channel, I'm stuck in a "wait, are you human?" loop. And I'm sure I'm human, so far...
# dletorey mauromotion: I had the same the other day. Today I clicked the + in discord and added a new server and pasted the indieweb discord url

# conatusprinciple Hi everyone, Discord wants me to post a short introduction so here it goes: Guy in his 40s from Norway, disillusioned with the web of the last 10++ years. I had a website and blog during the late 90s and early 2000s and I have been wanting to get back intro blogging. Excited about the indieweb and a free and open web in general. Putting together this through micro.blog at the moment, small and humble steps: https://conatusprinciple.
# [lcs] Hei contactusprinciple 🇳🇴 👋
inky and a51 joined the channel
# mmmotion well I did my introduction earlier via IRC, but since here links actually work here's my blog/personal website: http://blog.mauromotion.com
# mmmotion I'm gonna do a complete overall soon (tm), as I'm learning a lot while studying compsci and web development. For the last few years I've been using this jekyll template on github pages, served me well, but I want to do a complete overhaul in the next few months
# mmmotion oh you've been in my RSS blog roll for a long time now 😄

# joxef conatusprinciple[d]: Hej! Welcome!
# joxef I finally got a new domain 🤓 Going to be putting something together somewhat soonish.
# joxef Definitely will do! Going to revisit your site's list for ideas soon capjamesg[d]
# joxef Has anyone here started off with WordPress then eventually moved their site over to their own one built from scratch? 🤔 I'm thinking of doing that. Maybe this would be better placed in dev chat.
# [aciccarello] I've definitely seen people post about switching off WordPress though I'm not sure what's involved. I'll ping #indieweb-dev if I find any examples.
# joxef [aciccarello]: Thank you!

# [Ros] I’m a little late to the party but I’d just like to say thank you again to [qubyte] and [Paul_Robert_Ll] for organising the Indie Web Camp in Brighton and of course to [Jeremy_Keith] for also organising and telling me about it and [tantek] I know you so diligently typed up our notes which are so helpful to me now.
# [Ros] As a newbie getting into coding, I’m *so* impressed with the events that run in Brighton. I do realise this is not typical and that I should make the most of it while I can. This community is just incredibly generous and creative -I’m so glad to have stumbled my way in here! I’ll see more of you in the chat, and “rss-ing” on your sites. I should have my first site, coded by scratch, up next week when I’m back! :partying_face:
