A few months ago Marty McGuire posted Has the IndieWeb become discourse again? The post talks about the hate IndieWeb sometimes gets because people see it as prescriptive rather than descriptive. In other words, IndieWeb has a PR problem.

IndieWeb is mostly a set of experiments. Sometimes they work with corporate stuff but if they do, the corporations are quick to block that sort of open nonsense because power-hungry executives.

Marty makes the point that there is no “one way” to IndieWeb, there is only your way to IndieWeb.

This is nice timing because Open Mentions question of the week this week is How do you (personally) IndieWeb?

On isBrill, we generally IndieWeb with brill rolls (aka blog rolls), WebMention, shrines, and ActivityPub. I’d go so far as to say isBrill does not make a lick of sense without being somewhat IndieWeb. After all, it is mostly a collection of shrines, single-page websites, and the odd blog.

How do you IndieWeb?
