In my effort to become more involved in the IndieWed community I created indieweb.life and indieweb.social. A lot of the information out there is either out-of-date or is written so far above the head of the complete novice. A lot of it is geared towards developers and webmasters. I wanted to create a place and space where a person with only a cursory knowledge could come and get simple, easy instructions and places to go for further guidance. I wanted to create a simple “get started” site with some simple up-to-date links and instructions on indieweb.life for people looking to get started with WordPress and the IndieWeb. I also created the open Mastodon instance at indieweb.social for anyone who would like to join an instance focused on supporters and participants of the IndieWeb movement. I would really like it if some of the more experienced veterans would be willing to critique the site and maybe contribute or syndicate some content that would help new seekers. Also, if anyone would be willing to be an admin on indieweb.social then we can get listed on joinmastodon.org.

This is really cool! Out of curiosity, where are you seeing out of date information? If it's the wiki, we'd love to know which pages need an update so we can fix them!

Is there anything more American than a leaf blower?

Doesn’t actually clean up, just makes it somebody else’s problem. All the while burning oil.

Inspired by @NikkitaFTW, I’ve decided to embark on a new adventure...

"Drink your own wine" instead of "eat your own dogfood". Maybe a better metaphor because people actually want to drink wine? But on the other hand even mediocre wine is still wine. #Identiverse

This has been a long ongoing discussion for us... so far best we've landed on is "eat what you cook" https://indieweb.org/selfdogfood#Brainstorming

My POV: We are slowly uncovering the truth about identity: No human ever asked to be issued one (or many). It’s infrastructure on the way to achieving other aims. We should be cautious about thinking we’ve hit bottom in our analysis of human-org relationships yet. #Identiverse

Did you know:

You aren’t required to use the Markdown syntax for images? That weird ![](myimage.png) thing.

Use HTML instead. It works great, is more extensible (srcset, class, etc), and is more readable:

Reminded that the Microsoft ebook store closes next week. The DRM'd books will stop working.

I cannot believe that sentence.

"The books will stop working."

I keep saying it and it sounds worse each time.

Recently, I spoke at a local meetup about my experience breaking into tech and things I did, that people can do too. The fact that I said contributing to OSS can be a great thing to do, I got flagged for breaking CoC because it was a "microagression." I am absolutely appalled.

This makes me very mad 😡 This has the markings of a professional troll trying to push you out. Don't let them stop you. 💛

Angry face! This is sexism and trolling in its most sly and insidious state. Whoever did this needs some public shame. You did nothing wrong! Keep contributing (to open source projects that aren't assholes !)!
