I would love to be wrong, but I'm beginning to feel pretty strongly that using IRC for all communications is a good way to keep your OSS community an Old Boys Club

Exactly why we bridge all of IRC, Slack, Matrix and Discord for the IndieWeb chat. Regardless of where you join from it's all the same chat. https://indieweb.org/discuss

My earlier point is that everyone needing to buy a domain name is an unreasonable expectation for the vast majority of people.

We pool resources for all sorts of things in meatspace society. Most people do not have a reason to be “every person for themself” digitally.

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:

One of the hardest things about standards work is that there are just so many great hills to die on.

To parrot back: Do you run your own email server? Unless you're running your own, you don't own your email identity, the server admin does.

I think distributed instances with their own rules are many steps forward from our current centralized position. Better is good.

Nope, email *domain* not email server. My email address is @parecki.com but it's gmail behind it. That means I can swap out gmail for running my own server later and nobody who emails me will ever notice. That's the difference.

Sure, but I just don't think a blanket "join a mastodon somewhere" statement is really beneficial overall.

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/ .

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.

You might be interested in Overland from @aaronpk https://overland.p3k.app/

Sadly mine requires manual action to start/stop individual trips. It'll passively track *everything*, but not intelligently like Moves used to do.

"An update on bradfitz"

After ~12.5 years at Google and ~10 years working on Go, it's time for me to do something new. Tomorrow is my last day at Google. 👋

I'll still be involved with #golang but less, and differently.
