[tantek] the first point in this blog post made me think perhaps there's a way and opportunities to reverse those trends: https://www.gurwinder.blog/p/30-useful-concepts-spring-2024

[tantek] this point / chart: https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3fa6f337-7d2c-4a37-97e9-38f29f12b017_1490x860.jpeg
#
[tantek] I look at the left edge of that and see exactly the kind of things the IndieWeb is embracing and amplifying
#
[tantek] e.g. "Play A Sport" /exercise posts
#
[tantek] e.g. "Newspapers" = writing long form posts whether /article or long /note posts
[qubyte] joined the channel
#
[tantek] e.g. "Film & TV" — we don't post a lot of these ourselves, however, as a community we basically post ("drop") a new season of the episodic IndieWebCamp Sessions "TV series"
#
[tantek] "[Music] Albums" — this are is unexplored in the IndieWeb but certainly rich with potential
#
[tantek] "View on Gallery Wall" — there's been so many IndieWeb conversations / design discussions about how to present all your photos on your site
#
[tantek] "Handwritten Letters" — reminds me of [chrisaldrich]'s typewriter posts!
#
[tantek] the last one is a bit socially regressive and also an area I don't think the IndieWeb has either explored (or made worse) for that matter
#
[tantek] certainly not much beyond a few posts here and there and XFN rel=crush lol
#
[KevinMarks] That last on is Holly's thesis, which you read
#
[tantek] did we cite Holly's thesis on any relevant IndieWeb pages? I'm not quite connecting the dots there

[tantek] is there a blog post version of the thread unrolled?

#
cophee so for the uni assignment i mentioned before, the assignment brief wants us to do a social computing guide which dives deep into one form of social technology + critically analyse it in some way –– (the suggestions are mostly for mainstream social media/data collection apps)
#
cophee i think i'm gonna spin it to be about IndieWeb and how it's an antithesis to modern social media
#
cophee wondering if anyone would like to contribute some of their thoughts on social media + indieweb! (I wholeheartedly agree with this page 😂 https://indieweb.org/social_media)

#
cophee i think i want my final project to be an easy-to-read + visually engaging guide to explain what indieweb is and why it's awesome and how people can join the movement

capjamesg cophee[d] I'm happy to help to the extent I can! It may be more effective to ask specific questions about social media to help guide your research, though. I'm sure a lot of us have a lot of thoughts on social media 😄
#
capjamesg If you are looking for a long-form personal response that you can use in your research, feel free to email me with your questions and I'm happy to help! (readers [at] jamesg [dot] blog)
#
cophee capjamesg[d] sure thing! I'll draft up some questions tomorrow and send them through
#
cophee capjamesg[d]: this would be very awesome
#
cophee I'm going to try to collect some opinions from you guys + people who aren't involved in indieweb (or even know about it) + see what some barriers might be for them
#
ryokagriffin If you can create some kind of survey you could drop it here and on the fediverse or something, you'll get a bias response obviously but it'll be way more data points

reillypascal Hi all! I've been going to the homebrew website club for a few months and I'd like to create a user page on the wiki. Is that ok to create?
#
capjamesg reillypascal Of course!
#
capjamesg Let us know if you need any assistance.

capjamesg What is a bio?
#
Loqi A bio is a commonly occurring page or homepage section that provides a summary description about a person https://indieweb.org/bio
#
[Joe_Crawford] reillypascal++ yes! https://indieweb.org/chat-names is where the capability to do the shorthands in pages and etherpad and other places I'm not thinking of comes from

#
[Al_Abut] [tantek] yeah unfortunately that kind of mistake out of the blue is becoming more common and for regular people, not just the popular. It’s hit a few friends in the creative industry and I even got a warning for something like one of my dog pics, completely nonsensical.
#
[Al_Abut] @vhbelvadi good to see you on here! My Friday is in tinker mode and I’m excited for some quality time with my website this weekend too. What’re you up to?
#
[Al_Abut] I love the clean header design of your newsletter. Never noticed it before because I usually read in RSS, that’s a good reminder to myself to occasionally make the rounds and see what’s new on people’s actual websites.

[benatwork] Oh that's beautiful
#
[Al_Abut] [benatwork] I have a design crush on V.H. and it’s ok, he knows this from our emails 😂
#
[Al_Abut] I think part of it is that it’s so refreshing to see someone in academia with nice crisp work, bringing the same thoughtfulness and craft that they do to their research or teaching.
