Indieweb is sometimes tied to self-hosting to give people configurabilty and flexibilty.
It does keep indieweb for the few and not the many.
- andros 3mo agoRather than self-hosting, IndieWeb advocate for managing hosting; like GitHub Pages or similar.
- 5701652400 3mo agoask street-bbq vendor or cleaning-lady or uber-driver what is a "GitHub"
- andros 3mo agoIf you can learn to make a hamburger, with or without AI, they can learn to manage their site.
- aboardRat4 3mo agoOf course not. Or at least they won't enjoy it. Physical activity is enjoyable for most people, whereas mental is painful.
- andros 3mo agoFor me it's the exact opposite, and I don't think I'm alone. Now you've reminded me that I have to go to the gym this afternoon... :(
- marysol5 3mo agoHave you been past a tradies white van in the last 20 years? They, if you're lucky, may have "davethepublumber.co.uk" and then "dave6969@gmail.com" printed on the side
- 5701652400 3mo agoGitHub Pages requires subscriptions for private repos. use Cloudflare.
- andros 3mo agoAre you sure?

- andros 3mo agoGitHub Pages is free for public repos, which makes perfect sense for a public blog. IndieWeb content is public by design.
- 5701652400 3mo agoyou guys keep shifting goal posts is nuts. whatever critisism is just "IndieWeb decides not to do so". not admiting own mistakes also goes hand-in-hand with it. overall, recipe for disaster.
- klez 3mo agoWe're talking about public websites. Nobody moved the goalpost. It's always been about online presence, hence public websites.
- 5701652400 3mo agono. you do move goalpost. you talking about public webiste, and now you need to make public entire git for it. do you see difference between history of edits and internal documentation about the public website and public website itself? or sources to build website vs website itself? it is nuts not to see distinction of that. github repo != public webpage. this is nuts.
- j45 3mo agoIndieWeb could and should find ways to make self-hosting turn key. Some examples of that exist for sure.
- inigyou 3mo agoSquarespace, Wix If it's turnkey it can't be "self". Even if you could buy a magic hosting box to put in your home network, you would be dependent on its support.
