Indieweb is sometimes tied to self-hosting to give people configurabilty and flexibilty. It does keep indieweb for the few and not the many.
Rather than self-hosting, IndieWeb advocate for managing hosting; like GitHub Pages or similar.

#63I also have my own personal homepage [1]. The content isn't that great, but I do have some curated content on there. What kind of topics and people are usually involved in the IndieWeb community? I'm thinking about joining, but I'm still debating it. [1] https://www.makonea.com/en-US
I like your website design! Next.js, React, TailwindCSS in Vercel? Is this your design? It's very nice. They have monthly and annual events; perhaps you can discover them for yourself! However, I recommend that you first understand and apply some of their philosophy!
The animation is the Gooey Navigation I designed myself. I'm glad you like the design.

#65It feels like walking into a brightly lit clothing store in a fancy mall and seeing the anarchy symbol on all items. Look closer and you'll see an almost four digit price tag.

#66If IndieWeb wants content, burying it under a ton of tech soup is the exact opposite of what they claim they want.

They realize it's "unworkable for 90% of users" and they don't care. Part of the Indieweb philosophy, like Libre software, is to "scratch your own itch" - no one's paying you. You do the stuff that's interesting to you. It's not a business. The point is not to take over the market. The planet needs fewer marketing pinheads, not more. I would like it if we passed various laws that killed off a lot of the marketing pin…
No, you don't understand, it's bad because it does not provide ""value""

You clearly don't understand the IndieWeb movement, which consists of amateurs and professionals who are motivated to go the extra mile and learn this stuff. The reason the Internet is the way it is in 2026 is precisely because we’ve eliminated all friction and have cultivated the dumbest possible user.

#68I 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…
