  That's interesting, but it looks mostly like "the web" - which is totally cool, but I think too hard for most normal people to use on their own. Also doesn't have social interactions.
  

  The IndieWeb is entirely about bringing social interactions to the web in a way that doesn't rely on single companies like Twitter or Facebook. This might explain a bit better: https://aaronparecki.com/2018/04/20/46/indieweb-reader-my-new-home-on-the-internet

  A new form of social media: open protocol, decentralized nodes with the ability to mod, central services to do identity and enable content aggregation and discovery. Like online gaming, where people can run their own servers if they want.
  

  Found the top of this thread. This is pretty much 100% the goal of what we're doing. https://micro.blog is one of the first commercial services that works as both providing hosting as well as content aggregation and discovery. Doesn't need to be open source, just open protocols.

  I'll check it out! I agree it didn't *need* to be open source, but Free (libre) reference implementations of open protocols speed up adoption. Also if you have a good open protocol and there aren't open source projects around it, it might not be working yet. ;)
  

  oh yeah for sure. To be clear, my only involvement in micro.blog is having written several of the protocols that they are built on. e.g. https://www.w3.org/TR/micropub/ https://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/ https://www.w3.org/TR/indieauth/
  
  I'm a big fan of getting many implementations early.

  Thanks. This is much clearer than the indieweb website.
  
  It was unclear to me how "a static page in GitHub" could reasonably support social interaction. :P

  One fun thing I just learned is that ActivityPub has almost no implementations, certainly no barebones modules I can tell except maybe https://github.com/Arkanosis/microstatus ? except I can't even tell if that is a module or a full-fledged server or both or what

  I am a professional software developer and this shit is so byzantine, no wonder the indie web is having such a rough time
  

  Don't forget that ActivityPub isn't even all of indieweb! It gets even more confusing once you throw the other half of the specs into the mix (webmention, micropub, indieauth, etc).
  
  But that's what happens when this stuff is all built up by a bunch of unrelated people on their own time, rather than being a well-crafted developer experience made by a single company with a bunch of VC funding.
  
  It will get better, it just takes a lot of work to make this stuff work, much less make good docs for it on top!
