I do love (1) the non-commercial and (2) the long form non-realtime aspect of the indie web but I still wish it was more accessible to other nerds, not just in tech. It’s also hard to search and to connect with people. A lot of the modern features of you’re-the-product social media aren’t inherently bad. They’re just made into products designed for engagement, fomo and addiction, often with minimal human oversight (the algorithm finds our weak spots on its own). I think being 10-20 years behind the ”competition” in features is holding us back.
