Really cool! Have you checked out Nostr as well? I prefer the mental model of Nostr, it seems to be more in line with POSSE than Mastodon and the AT protocol.
I prefer Org Social a million times over Nostr :) https://en.andros.dev/blog/8c640241/why-org-social-when-you-...
I feel some uneasiness when I go to a website branded as "indieweb," and see a link to the author's CV prominently on the page. Sometimes you also see a professional taken headshot of the author or an enthusiastic description of his work history at prestigious institutions. And it's always a professionally made blog. You know the drill. It feels like walking into a brightly lit clothing store in a fancy mall and seei…
Though I don't brand my site as indie web, my own website is a bit like this - I have a link to my consulting site and a headshot on there. Why is that so bad? My professional life is a part of who I am. One could call me an IndieWorker, in that I'm self employed....

If you can learn to make a hamburger, with or without AI, they can learn to manage their site.
Of course not. Or at least they won't enjoy it. Physical activity is enjoyable for most people, whereas mental is painful.

> If you don't update your social.org at least once a month, you will lose the domain and the nickname will be released
I usually don't post once a month. Nickname released, that's a security problem.
Looks as if: org-social.org is a single point of failure? Hmm
I wonder if there's ways to solve those problems. Maybe you'd end up w sth like AT Proto in the end
Once again I will say my theory of how the internet became a few walled gardens: NOBODY WANTS TO HOST. Hosting sucks. It costs time and money. There are constantly new exploits to work around.

> Well, don't shoot the messenger. I'm just letting you know what they recommend :D The great thing about hosting your own website is that you can decide for yourself what "standards" and "recommendations" actually make sense for you. > By the way, andros.dev has an RSS feed. You should add links to the RSS/Atom feed. The way people (or at least I) discover RSS feeds is to paste the blog/article URL into my feed read…
Thanks for the advice, but I intentionally removed ` `. I think if you take some time to explore the feed modal, you'll understand why I did it.

Meh. “Won” who? For a long time I was sad about the lost web, but it turns out most people on social media that has replaced the web have nothing interesting to say. I am sad about local groups and forums, but that is not something that IndieWeb is trying to solve. The other problem is businesses that have retired to Instagram. which I find baffling.
So then why are so many, so eager and committed, to overturn the big platforms if “most people”… “have nothing interesting to say.”?
If IndieWeb wants content, burying it under a ton of tech soup is the exact opposite of what they claim they want. How do the developers not realise that this set of protocols is completely unworkable for 90% of users? Please stop developing systems where the engineering is front and centre. If you want to put content UX first, you need to do exactly that, with a one-click solution that gets users up and running inst…
Its initial 7 steps: having your domain, managing your site, creating your pages... are quite accessible. There is some unavoidable complexity, such as configuring DNS. However, with interest and AI, there are no real limitations.

Peak HN comment. Barely anyone knows what a "domain" is, no-one knows what DNS is. Very few people would even know what questions to ask AI.
