pauls Hey y'all, I just started work on a new personal page on SDF, http://griff.sdf.org. It's basically an extended about page and a place where I can document some projects when I want to point people at more information about particular things I've done.

#
highstrike300 why almost everyone here are app
[snarfed] joined the channel
#
[snarfed] that means they're bridged from another chat network. this chat is across IRC, Slack, Discord, and maybe others? I've forgotten. https://indieweb.org/discuss
#
jorisvandijk Which is most used, or is it mixed?
#
[snarfed] seems like a mix
cotsuka, proofreed, gordinator, gordinator_ and ZodiacalComet joined the channel
#
ZodiacalComet Slack is the one I see the most, followed by IRC. Discord I don't see as much (or at least those whose nick end with [d], dunno if that changed)
#
WinnerWind ZodiacalComet: messages from IWDiscord also come from discord
mnuuu joined the channel
#
ZodiacalComet Right, forgot about that one
#
ZodiacalComet huh, that isn't mentioned in /discuss now that I checked for that
#
doesnm i saw someone on reddit says that Discord are based on IRC. Sadly it's not a truth
#
ZodiacalComet source: it was revealed to me in a dream /jk
#
ZodiacalComet I can see the why. But jump straight to that conclusion when the things that are the same is the basics of a chat service is an strech
#
[snarfed] hmm Discord is in the very first sentence on https://indieweb.org/discuss
#
ZodiacalComet But not that it is bridged into IRC via "IWDiscord", which was clarified recently in the chat iirc

#
highstrike300 I think Neocities is a good place for indie web
#
highstrike300 long live the new web
#
highstrike300 but personally I barely discuss here because using modern social media ruins some fun of the nostalgic feeling of building indie web

theadhocracy Modern social media? As in the chat?

#
[Murray] (^ FYI at least on Slack I don't think I'm seeing the [d] for Discord any more)

#
thatoddshade the feel is very different depending on whether you use Discord or Slack, or good ol’ IRC
#
thatoddshade personally, as I am using IRC in Thunderbird, which also happens to be my e-mail client, it doesn’t feel like “modern social media”
#
thatoddshade but I get how Discord could feel mainstream/centralised/modern

jorisvandijk highstrike300[d]: Any server will do in my opinion. Extra credit to those who self-host. In my opinion that's the hight of small web. I don't. My site is dumped on git and hosted through Cloudflare, so basically top tier corporate. Still, I think my site is small web. I made it. It's mine.
#
highstrike300 but neocities is my favorite
#
highstrike300 https://perstar.neocities.org/
#
highstrike300 this is my site on neocities
#
jorisvandijk highstrike300[d]: That's great 🙂
#
jorisvandijk I love your site though
#
jorisvandijk Like flipping through my old school books
#
jorisvandijk HighStrike300++ excellent looking site
#
Loqi HighStrike300 has 1 karma over the last year

highstrike300 one project I want to add to my site is Dead Internet Theory Simulator
ZodiacalComet, pauls and cotsuka joined the channel
#
highstrike300 Jorisvandijk_com[d]: really? personally I think my site is not that good yet
#
highstrike300 it is not much, but it is mine
#
jorisvandijk highstrike300[d]: This
#
jorisvandijk This is what makes it work for me
#
jorisvandijk It's personal
#
jorisvandijk You own it
#
jorisvandijk It's you
#
jorisvandijk Incredible
#
jorisvandijk Also, I like to remember old times

#
[pcarrier] LOL I have tried quite hard at this point and I've come to accept I will never be happy with my site.
#
[pcarrier] Content with doing my best within what are reasonable timeframes for me.
