@shellsharks I’ve stopped evangelizing IndeWeb platforms like Mastodon, but I’ll will mention them if they come up in conversation. Speaking of conversation, Im having a chat with @jonkl from The WELL and @plutopia (and much more) that you might enjoy. Feel free to join in. Follow our rap session at #digitalculture

@shellsharks Thx. Healthy fringe emits gratitude, not metrics. What matters isn’t roll call but adjacency. IndieWeb craft, fediverse governance, infosec realism share oxygen. Watch which links travel, which names recur, what escapes notice. This is how alternatives survive, quietly, by circulation, before ownership arrives. Harder truth: systems win by capturing attention, labor & meaning. Until IndieWeb explains how it competes, not just how it feels, it remains a sanctuary, not a counterforce.
