I love all the #IndieWeb and #SmallWeb talk but I still don't see a lot of discussion of how to get The Average User (doesn't code, doesn't want to learn) into it. I stand on a fence line where I know just enough to tinker on my own site, but I can't seem to haul "regular" people over the fence - they're too intimidated and they aren't interested in the work. A lot of people already over the fence don't seem to notice that whole excluded group anymore. So...we just leave them? Is that the plan?

@hollie a good step before things gets more organized is micro.blog

Allows anyone to create content and have a presence on Mastodon, Bluesky, Nostr while owning their data, so that no matter what the future brings, you can always move the data into a new solution, while still using it as a client to the social web.

I have tried many different tools to jump on the ship and this is clearly the easiest and fun to use.

micro.blogMicro.blogPost short thoughts or long essays, share photos, all on your own blog. Micro.blog makes it easy, and provides a friendly community where you can share and engage with others.

@rmdes Oh yes, I love micro.blog! That's where my blog is hosted. :)

@hollie Hah! Just followed you there! I see you're well installed already! I'm yet to actually start writing long forms and stuff but I'm getting there 😅

@rmdes Oh cool! I'm not sure if I'm already following you - what's your username?

@hollie you should be able to find me with @rmdes
I mostly post about things I read related to tech, news and some occasional more personal stuff I'm battling with, I want to write a book too so I'll be drafting some of it on my blog :)

@rmdes Nice, I found you and am following you! :)
