The IndieWeb is a people-focused alternative to the “corporate web”.

It is a community of independent and personal websites connected by open standards and based on the principles of: owning your domain and using it as your primary online identity, publishing on your own site first (optionally elsewhere), and owning your content.

Simple static file blogs that federate are exactly what the fediverse needs more of. The whole stack being just Markdown files and a small script eliminates so much complexity.

I’ve been thinking about how tools like this could feed into systems that map public conversation. Most discourse gets lost in fragmented replies, but when your blog posts are plain files, it’s easier to process them meaningfully—say, with AI that ranks by argument strength instead of engagement. Something I’m building at The Zeitgeist Experiment.

Also appreciate the ActivityPub minimalism. Publishing the full object by default makes feeds immediately useful without round-trips.
