You want to win against Facebook? Let go of the idea of people reading your stuff on your site, and develop or support interfaces that put your readers in control of how they view the web instead of giving the control to the people with the servers. Support people looking into federated recommendation systems. Make friends with the idea of full copies of your stuff flowing across the web instead of links.
I’m not sure simply reverting back to what we had is the right path if we want to include people who have never experienced the open web or understand its principles.
Embeds API you wish you built yourself. Over 1600 domains. (Responsive, oEmbed, Twitter Cards, Open Graph, Readability and more)
If that was all there was to the movement, IndieWebCamp would be a call to do it like we did it in 1998. Instead, IndieWebCamp goes the next step by recognizing that people use the corporate web of Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr (Yahoo), Blogger (Google), Flickr (Yahoo), LiveJournal (SUP Media), YouTube (Google), and others in large because of the experience they provide for interactions between people.
On the other hand, this nudges publishers toward an idea that's big in the IndieWeb movement: Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere (or POSSE for short). The idea is to own the canonical copy of the content on your own site but then to send that content everywhere you can. Or rather, everywhere you want to reach your readers. Facebook Instant Article? Sure, hook up the RSS feed. Apple News? Send the feed over there, too. AMP? Sure, generate an AMP page. No need to stop there—tap the new Medium API and half a dozen others as well.
retrying responses is much improved. it retries *all* URLs, works harder to find candidate URLs (including syndication URLs), and you can page through old responses so you can retry them for finding your user page: along with remembering your accounts when you log into them, it now also lets you type your username, full name, or domain instead of user id in the URL (for silos where it needed that before)
