Didn't want to do a post about this so I could share my thoughts openly without broadcasting. I am worried Wordpress and #IndieWeb make it sound more about compliance than community. When we have to say things like , "There are only two #IndieWeb themes," or there is a "branded" plug-in that is a meta-installer for "X" other plug-ins it makes the #IndieWeb sound more like a process than principles.
#
tantek
jgmac1106: always start with the use-case - and that should drive you towards recommending current solutions for implementing them (whichever themes / plugins), plus how to implement them yourself (community)
#
jgmac1106
And after trying to blog and think about the process I know I am one of the biggest offenders. Looking back at my instrument designs 14 days later it was about coleting X steps and askign about the use of Y plug-ins. So as I wrap up my fourteen day #IndiewWeb all-in on WordPress experiment I want to leave with a commitment of stressing that if you are carving out your little corner of the web you are #IndieWeb. Sure their ar
#

tools and plug ins that can allow deeper connections but start on just controlling who you are when hanging online
#
tantek
"compliance" only matters in as much as it helps you achieve your goals of enabling new user-centric use-cases for people with their own sites

right, all of these "tools" and "processes" are towards the goal of controlling and owning who you are when you're online, including replacing some of your "social media" habits with "personal media" habits
#
tantek
(I just made that up - re: replacing some of your "social media" habits with "personal media" habits)
#
jgmac1106
I’ll go with community media habits
#
jgmac1106
but you need to run with that phrase
#
tantek
that still sounds like you're doing it for someone else - the "community"
#
tantek
whereas "personal media" emphasizes the you're doing it for yourself, you're in control, aspects
#
tantek
"community media" habits are like actively contributing to open source, contributing ot the IndieWeb wiki, contributing here in chat
#
tantek
also good, but not why you adopt certain tools etc. for your website
#
jgmac1106
Being able to define what happens to the media you share, yeah I dig it, but the more folks I meet around the world the more I understand control of self over contribution to community has deep western cultural influences
#
tantek
"social media" has been already defined by "deep western cultural influences"
#
tantek
technology and UX design propagate the cultures they were born in
#
jgmac1106
I still am firmly in the “Its my shit, I will do with it what I want” camp but its just so interesting to see how ontology an depistemology plays out across the globe.
#
jgmac1106
IThat makes sense. I am of the silo generation
#
jgmac1106
I lived on prodigy in Middle school and beyond the Anarchist Cookbook I downloaded from a BB I didn’t do the web until AOL
#
jgmac1106
tantek: "social media" has been already defined by "deep western cultural influences" and this is where I worry a bit. The focus on self in #indieweb. Does that propoagate the same thing?
#
jgmac1106
well like I said earlir #FridatNightPhilosophyAlwaysTheWorst
#
jgmac1106
good night all, going to take few days offline in rememberance and to hang with family
