@JeremiahLee
I am disappointed so many of the people who tweet about #SurveillanceCapitalism and #IndieWeb have not setup a Mastodon account somewhere. It’s federated. It works well. There is Twitter cross-posting to ease the transition. I subscribe to https://librem.one/ .

^^^ because you don't own your Mastodon account, the server admin does.
#
[tantek]
^^^ because the server admin can still surveil 100% of what you do on Mastodon
#
[tantek]
is it time to post about the Feuderation?
#
[LewisCowles]
Totally. Are there not signed message capabilities etc in Mastodon?
#
[LewisCowles]
by signed I mean cryptographically signed, not a signature line

[LewisCowles]: you mean like enveloped messages?

it's still kind of useless if the keys are held on the server (in this case, they are)
#
[KevinMarks]
They are just annoying enough to make migration hard without any extra security

I was thinking that if I can share text content, I can share a PGP publicly encrypted block like aaronpk’s example shared with me last year did. It’s text after-all
#
[LewisCowles]
I’ve got a modified (hacked together with good will) mailvelope that lets me do this inline. The next step for me is to come up with a format for fallback that isn’t showing people encrypted text (because it’s useless to anyone without a key)

↩️ Unless you're running it on your own domain, you don't own your mastodon identity, the server admin does. Sure it's better than the Twitter monolith, but getting a mastodon account "somewhere" doesn't solve the underlying #indieweb problem.

↩️ Sure, and in that case, share a domain with a friend/community you trust. My problem was very specifically with your wording "go get a Mastodon somewhere" for these two similar but unrelated reasons: https://indieweb.org/own_your_data https://indieweb.org/plurality

↩️ I still keep websites of my own because I don't trust Twitter, Facebook, etc. I want an online space of my own where I am not subject to the whims of some corporation. #IndieWeb #OpenWeb

Is there a recommended setup for HWC websites?
[LewisCowles] and [jeffpaul] joined the channel
#
[schmarty]
Rose: i don't think so. i'd be excited to follow the recommended setup for HWC NYC rather than rolling my own slowly. 😅
#
[schmarty]
tbh i am strongly thinking of linking or redirecting to https://events.indieweb.org/tag/nyc
#
[Rose]
I was thinking of trying to figure something out.
#
[Rose]
Something people can spin up with minimal admin tax, but that allows you to post photos, events, and articles/notes.

chrisaldrich: [jgmac1106] left you a message 3 weeks, 1 day ago: I had an idea, why not do a live recording of your IndieWeb WordPress podcast as a keynote...if you could keep it to 20ish minutes

feel free to just use a tag page on the events site! it doesn't do non-event posts but it's super optimized for events!

It's not that hard to build a motherfucking #website. Just look at these motherfuckers. http://motherfuckingwebsite.com http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com https://bestmotherfucking.website They all say it's satire, but maybe we should take it seriously. #html #web #indieweb #Webdesign

[Rose] what I am doing is building a simple site and pulling in an iframe from events.indieweb.org.
#
[jgmac1106]
I did note that the parsers weren't grabbing the h-event within an iframe, but I doubt anyone would add the feed so not a big deal

jgmac1106: you could put a rel="feed" in the header that points to the events.indieweb.org tag.
#
[jgmac1106]
Schmarty++ good idea
