There’s no substitute for having the primary copy of your work being in a space you control (and, ideally, own.) #indieweb https://twitter.com/christi3k/status/926228598712950784

‪I haven’t seen any #indieweb team applications yet. But there’s still time. ‬https://matter.vc/apply

Media companies should own their websites + audience relationships. #indieweb, I want to see your applications. https://matter.vc/apply

If they're capturing social media handles on popular, large sites, there seems like an obvious workaround. #indieweb https://gizmodo.com/us-homeland-security-will-start-collecting-social-media-1818777094

http://www.andy-j-miller.com/ being held up as an example of a great personal website. It's beautiful. Inspiringly organic. #indieweb

This cat posts what she eats on her very own website. https://indiewebcat.com/ate #indieweb #cats #caturday #felinegroovy

This is a big list of decentralized web technology. I wish Urbit wasn't listed, but otherwise: cool! https://decentralize.tech/ #indieweb

Super-fun to see a Known to Mastodon integration demoed at #indieweb Summit. Really proud of this open source community.

Not quite true that some content types won't work on @Medium. Embedmaker lets you embed your own site: https://embedmaker.com/ #indieweb

Four years ago, I came to this event to demo something called Idno.

Four years later, Known is such a great community. I'm really proud to be back.

Extremely cool. Here's the entire #indieweb social graph of independent websites as queryable data. http://www.indiemap.org/

What's out there? @schnarfed built a web crawler in 15 lines of code and found 706K #indieweb social connections between independent sites.

New to me: Common Crawl does a regular public crawl of the web and makes the data available to everyone. #indieweb https://commoncrawl.org/

Worth saying: if you're helping people own their own content and monetize on their own terms, we should talk. #indieweb #imaninvestornow

"There isn't a good funnel I can push people into." @anomalily making a very good case for much easier, friendlier #indieweb resources.

An aside: I've stopped displaying brid.gy webmentions publicly on my site at http://werd.io. Facebook friends were complaining. #indieweb

Brid.gy is an awesome way to take silo comments (on Facebook and Twitter, etc) and host them on your site so you have them. #indieweb

WordPress is still the most customizable way for non-developers to host their own websites. #indieweb

"I want to monetize *my* way [...] So, how does someone who's not a developer take her shit back from Facebook?" @anomalily #indieweb

"I want to document that I made it." @anomalily wants to host her own work, and attach to her identity, so she can show it's hers. #indieweb

Says @anomalily: "I am not a developer". But she's been building and hosting her own website, on her terms, for 20 years. #indieweb
