# [pcarrier_com] what is indieweb
# Loqi The IndieWeb is a community of independent and personal websites based on the principles of owning your domain and using it as your primary online identity, publishing on your own site first (optionally elsewhere), and owning your content https://indieweb.org/indieweb
# [pcarrier_com] As you might infer, pretty much antithetical to social media platforms that own the content distribution on their domains and websites, let alone apps.

# vansh095709 tantek_com[d] this is like a public site anyone can use i drop it here as I wanted to ask about it
# vansh095709 As big social media platform takes charge for some features but mine is free so the wish is of people if they want to try they can
# [Morgan_M] What do you do with the data?
# [Morgan_M] https://indieweb.org/own_your_data This is kind of an important thing, which is a question
# [capjamesg] vansh095709 Thanks for sharing! Many of us use personal websites as a primary place to express ourselves on the web.
# vansh095709 If users wish they can express their feelings on pointverse also and share their websites their
# vansh095709 *There
# [capjamesg] We’re probably not the ideal audience for Pointverse, since most of us prefer to use tools backed by open protocols that allow us to own our data (like HTML, CSS, ActivityPub).
# vansh095709 On pointverse also ur data is safe and is in your hand as if u remove anything from pointverse the thing removes from database also and u can also read privacy policy also
# vansh095709 @Loqi ok
# 
[artlung] You created a silo. And you shared it. And you got feedback. https://indieweb.org/silo If you have an interest in integrating your silo with things like PESOS and export the dev channel would be great. I think vansh095709 you've done what you came to do.
# vansh095709 In our terms (dev) owning of data means this only @[artlung]
# [capjamesg] Our main focus here is on personal websites that we each make (blogs, portfolios, websites for community causes that we care about, playgrounds to experiment). If you’re ever making a website for yourself (i.e. a blog, or a landing page, or a creative tool), you’ll find a lot of people here eager to chat and lots of information on the wiki. But again we’re not the ideal audience for Pointverse.
# vansh095709 [edit] In our terms (dev) owning of data means this only
# vansh095709 Can anyone suggest where I can find users
# vansh095709 Can I try in indie web
# vansh095709 [edit] Can I try in indie web dev
# [capjamesg] Please don’t share the same project across multiple channels. Many of us are already in all of the channels, so the audience you would get in #indieweb-dev will be the same as the people here.
# vansh095709 Kk
# [capjamesg] In terms of finding users for a project, the best place to start is to make something that you really want to use, then share it with friends and see what they think. I have written a lot of software projects and by far the most satisfying have been those I made for myself, or those I made for friends or communities I am in.
# [capjamesg] I started coding when I was young too, so I’m giving you the advice I wish I had received back then 🙂
# [artlung] https://indieweb.org/discuss#Spam maybe could do with a section describing solicitations to join a site or download an app. People with goods and services do need to find clients and users, but repeatedly intruding on a chat space to do so is negative and unwanted behavior.

# doesnm34 STOP
# [capjamesg] I’m not sure what you did doesnm but your message is getting sent over and over 😬
# doesnm34 this was... discord client bug
# doesnm34 can you teach me how to delete logs :(
# [capjamesg] I just deleted them in Slack. tantek or aaronpk can delete them on Discord. You’ll need to file a PR to delete them in the main logs.
# doesnm34 clonning repo
# doesnm34 maybe i could make some hack to prevent such behaviour. In short client doesn't know that message are already sent and tries to resend again
# doesnm34 [capjamesg]: should i clone whole history?
# [capjamesg] ^^
# tantek.com vansh095709[d]: If anyone can use then are you using it? Can you share a permalink of a post you have on/with it? We have a principle in the indieweb community of "use what you make" so it would be good to know if you are following that principle
# tantek.com What is use what you make?
# Loqi use what you make is an IndieWeb principle that encourages creators to use the applications, tools, libraries, code, designs, documentation that they create, in particular on their personal website, and the counterpart of the make what you need principle https://indieweb.org/use_what_you_make
# tantek.com vansh095709[d] take a look at that page ^
# tantek.com doesnm, I deleted the unintended duplicate messages from Discord
# tantek.com Do you want them deleted from the logs also?

# [capjamesg] I really like this syntax for communicating backlinks on your own site: “Filed in reading [link] and referenced in Refusing to be doomed [link] _11th August 2026”_
# [capjamesg] Ah, interesting, it is to say that the book in the post was mentioned in another post.
# [capjamesg] In any case, I like that plaintext style!

# [Morgan_M] On my website I have decided to further adopt a solarpunk-inspired version of optimism, that seemed broadly relatable to the "refusing to be doomed" theme. I made a sort of stub-like post on my website https://www.morganwebdev.org/posts/optimism/ but I have other stuff on my website thats broadly on this theme. Basically doom and gloom is exploited against so many people, even when times feel gloomy I try and refuse it
