Seems like blog + XFN + pingbacks with a new name..? I would love it if everyone could have their own domain name + server - but this isn't practical at this point in time. Why not work on making running a server + website easier? - https://github.com/Xeoncross/lowendscript https://github.com/Xeoncross/lowendscript - https://gist.github.com/Xeoncross/3b8ed1d094707bc0dff8 https://gist.github.com/Xeoncross/3b8ed1d094707bc0dff8 - https://github.com/Xeoncross/simpleserversetup https://github.com/Xeoncross/simpleserversetup

It's not a new name; it's more like 2.0 for blog + XFN + pingbacks, reducing the design flows in the earlier implementations.

> I would love it if everyone could have their own domain name + server - but this isn't practical at this point in time. You don't need to run your own server. Point the domain name you own at Squarespace (or Wordpress.org, or hosted Wordpress, or any service you like...) for a low-tech, free or low-cost website where you decide what happens. Move when you change your mind.

interesting questions, was thinking the same. although hosting is getting ridiculously cheap, you can have a great WordPress box setup on digital ocean for a few dollars per month. Small investment if you are committed to the industry. For the average non-internet joe maybe not, but if you are in the web dev/ design / SEO / marketing niche I'd say it is a must have to have your own hosting.

People are also working on that. The full stack needs an upgrade, and it's nice to see that happening across the board. It's more than blog + XFN + pingbacks. The combination of technologies really does allow for decentralized social activities (not just replies), potentially in real-time. If you don't want to mess with a server, we started an indieweb platform at https://withknown.com https://withknown.com. You can always take all your data and move to your own server later on.

Well, RasPi + pagekite.net is pretty practical; admittedly not for the masses, but for anyone with just a little technical knowhow it's pretty straightforward and costs next to nothing to run.
