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 https://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 #indieweb ship and this is clearly the easiest and fun to use.
@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?
@rmdes Nice, I found you and am following you! :)
