↩️ I don't even necessarily disagree with you here, but there sure are some gray areas. But it does rub me the wrong way to have the distinction come down to how much one can afford to spend. Is there a way to have an #indieweb site completely for free?

@kevinmarks
↩️ Your own domain is the strongest indieweb signal as it is harder to have it taken from you. There are ways you can use indieweb tools and protocols on other sites too - it's deliberately not monolithic. Have a look at https://indieweb.org/Getting_Started

If you aren't paying for the product, you are the product...

The idea that it should be free is nice, but even my electricity and water isn't free so...
#
@jennschiffer
↩️ but i'm glad you raised the cost issue of domains! it's important for all movements like indieweb to recognize and have a conversation about how it's impossible to fully divorce the movement from capitalism. how can we make domains freely available and guaranteed to live forever

@jennschiffer
↩️ yep! and while i bristle at the idea of folks considering glitch indieweb (we *are* a corporation selling saas after all), the fact that we do put a lot of thought into making sure our users aren't locked in to the service has been extremely meaningful to me as a user & employee

[schmarty]
now that is a thinker!
#
[schmarty]
i'm trying to grok why an employee of a corporation selling saas would bristle at the idea of folks considering that product as "indieweb"... 🤔

Jenn is a star
#
[KevinMarks]
She's wary of them over claiming. She gets it
#
[schmarty]
haha, i assumed that she did, so i didn't want to miss out. that makes a lot of sense!
#
[schmarty]
(i am a fan of Jenn's work w/ glitch. and lampooning webdev and social media. and even of her gluten free vegan turkey cake on hoobastank2 😂 )
#

Nothing will last forever because everything requires maintenance, and someone has to do that maintenance, which has at the very least a time cost, and now we're back to who's paying
#
@jasnell
Dead links are awesome, aren't they? Do a search for some old spec work done long ago, click on the link... turns out the original domain has expired and has been taken over by a porn spammer posting some really awful crap. :-/ .... needless to say I won't be saying which domain.

hrm. do we have any guidance written down on adding oneself to IndieWeb Examples? i vaguely recall it's typical to list things chronologically but as jacky noted above some links go dead.

what are Examples
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "Examples" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Examples is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek]
what are IndieWeb Examples
#
Loqi
IndieWeb Examples is a common section of many IndieWeb wiki pages that lists IndieWeb community members (and sometimes others) who have implemented a particular feature or technology, or who actively use it, on their personal site https://indieweb.org/IndieWeb_Examples
#
[tantek]
[schmarty] ^
#
jacky
kinda wants that to be a category :P
#
jacky
_but_ tbh it doesn't have to be
#
jacky
probably a table topic for the next HWC
#
jacky
can we add things to an agenda for HWCs or do we have to just remember?
#
[schmarty]
you can definitely add agenda items to the event at events.indieweb.org !
#
jacky
noted
#
jacky
lemme rsvp first
#
[tantek]
I figure the Etherpad is "open" when the event is created right?
#
jacky
yeah IIRC
#
[tantek]
[schmarty] your questions are still good ones and not all answered by that page

IndieWeb Examples << Add yourself to an IndieWeb Examples section in chronological order by date of first publication of actual example of the thing (with permalink, preferably with link text like "since YYYY-MM-DD" with the ISO date of publication), and feel free to help sort other examples by date of first publication (if they're note already ordered as such)

IndieWeb Examples << If an example is gone, rather than delete it, please move it to a subsequent "Past Examples" section, also in chronological order of date of first publication, and link to Internet Archive versions of the links as of their dates of publication, thus hopefully demonstrating how the examples worked when they were originally published.

what is life happens?
#
Loqi
life happens is a summary expression of numerous things that people experience in their actual physical lives that suddenly take higher priority than nearly anything else (like participation in volunteer-based communities), and the IndieWeb community is here to acknowledge, accept, and be supportive of community members experiencing this https://indieweb.org/life_happens
#
[tantek]
this is from a bunch of stuff I braindumped into #indieweb-chat and literally anyone else who has felt overwhelmed when "life happens"
#
[tantek]
after folks have had a chance to review/comment and we seem to still have consensus (with any necessary edits), will cross-link from /principles /conduct /wikify /admintax (and any other suggestions?)
