What is the IndieWeb?

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

Your content is yours

When you post something on the web, it should belong to you, not a corporation. Too many companies have gone out of business and lost all of their users’ data. By joining the IndieWeb, your content stays yours and in your control.

You are better connected

Your articles and status messages can go to all services, not just one, allowing you to engage with everyone. Even replies and likes on other services can come back to your site so they’re all in one place.

You are in control

You can post anything you want, in any format you want, with no one monitoring you. In addition, you share simple readable links such as example.com/ideas. These links are permanent and will always work.

The IndieWeb is a community of independent & personal websites connected by simple standards, based on the principles of: owning your domain & using it as your primary identity, publishing on your own site (optionally syndicating elsewhere), and owning your data. Read more →

Just stumbled on this, thought people might find interesting.

Not a support post, so feel free to move topic if it's cluttering the main board.

WordPress -> ActivePub

Presumably you meant ActivityPub?

if so, I'm not sure this plugin has anything to do with that (the IndieWeb concept predates it, I think).

There is this one though https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/

@jdaviescoates I like any kind of Pub

Post title updated to "MicroPub"

Of course, there are also Scuttlebutt Pubs

https://scuttlebot.io/docs/social/join-a-pub.html

But I think perhaps they've since been superceded by something else I seem to half remember

Edit: yeah, I think nowadays people just get a room https://github.com/ssbc/go-ssb-room

Yeah, pretty much the idea behind adopting and deploying FOSS apps also.
And all indie folks in soul should also be member of this very interesting forum, namely Indie Hackers.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, that plugin is a great find @marcusquinn
