Not entirely true. You can generate nicely formatted content using a centralized service, and then self-host the files it outputs. E.g. we support this with FWD:Everyone, folks are free to use our tool to format any email thread for publication on the web, and then self-host published threads elsewhere by just saving our API responses.
IMHO this is a much better deal for folks than either hosting Wordpress, using a simple static site generator, or using a purely centralized service. You always get the latest tech that we’re investing in, but also the freedom to go nuts and do whatever.

- Alex3917 7y agoThanks for this. I keep meaning to get more involved with the IndieWeb folks, just RSVP'd to one of their upcoming events.
- jamietanna 7y agoAs shared elsewhere on the site, I am very pro IndieWeb (https://indieweb.org https://indieweb.org) and therefore try to do everything via my own site. I use https://brid.gy/ https://brid.gy/ to syndicate posts from my own website (https://www.jvt.me/mf2/2020/04/svn4c/ https://www.jvt.me/mf2/2020/04/svn4c/) to Twitter (https://twitter.com/JamieTanna/status/1254670009420431360 https://twitter.com/JamieTanna/status/1254670009420431360) so I'm still owning my content, but I can still interact with folks on other platforms.
