Loqi [bsky.app/profile/hn-frontpage-bot.bsky.social] The Hardcore IndieWeb movement advocates for total content ownership by bypassing modern blogging services. By authoring HTML files locally and manually uploading them to a host, users maintain full portability and independence from corporate-controlled platforms.

#
Loqi [bsky.app/profile/hncompanion.com] You can run a website for $0.01/day, but you still can't buy true independence. The immediate pushback on the hardcore IndieWeb setup was that you are always structurally dependent on ISPs, domain registrars, and upstream infrastructure. #webdev 1/4 (https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:mbvl7eofeyf5gyeatysd5d2r/post/3mqzodsgaqj2d)
#
Loqi [bsky.app/profile/hncompanion.com] Many argued that the core of the IndieWeb isn't running the physical server, but simply owning your HTML and assets. For them, hosting on GitHub or Cloudflare Pages for free is a perfectly fine compromise, even if it means relying on a tech giant. 2/4 (https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:mbvl7eofeyf5gyeatysd5d2r/post/3mqzodtvjjo2v)
