Related: this is a really fun listen from Doug Belshaw. He discusses IndieWeb and the issues he sees with it.

Doug has a preference for the Fediverse as an approach to an open web, and says the political philosophy of the IndieWeb is a type of right-libertarianism, because it lacks social equality, and without that it is just a focus on individual freedom.
My gut response is that I disagree of course. But it's a great jumping off point for some thought/reflection...
@neil i've been thinking about this a bit lately. i don't think there's anything inherently rightwing about indieweb-type of approaches to things. i _do_ think that the indieweb stuff is essentially a hobbyist approach to a civilization-scale problem.
there's nothing wrong with hobbyist approaches. a healthy civilization needs them. they just aren't usually set up to address systemic failures and massive power imbalances...
