#IndieWeb, on their own website, says
The IndieWeb is a people-focused alternative to the “corporate web”.
Then if you check their chat they are bridged with #Discord, and seem in no way interested to get people away from anything corporate and towards something more people-focussed. How can anyone take such a movement seriously when their main community presence is linked to proprietary, corporate platforms... -
the main community presence isn't tied to discord? not discord specifically anyways. everything goes through irc, and it's bridged elsewhere (slack and matrix(?)). it's literally just a convenience thing.

@catgirlin[email protected] Backtracking within the next sentence, nice.
Regardless, "it's just a convenience thing" seems odd when the goal is to get away corporate platforms. Why add convenience to go there or at least stay there?
I also don't care much that it also goes through IRC, as that is a free software supported platform. Most messages in the channel however come from #Discord, and everything goes to Discord. In what sense is this beneficial to the stated goal on the website? -

uh sorry, i guess? idk what to say >.< i'm just a dumb girl.
anyways like, idk, people like convenience.

not from what i've seen? i see mostly irc (including web client at https://chat.indieweb.org/) and slack. if all you've looked at is #indieweb over the past day or so, yeah it's a lot of discord users i guess. but i don't think that's representative of the entire community.
... everything goes to Discord.
i guess, yeah. don't really see this as like, a privacy concern or anything though. most channels (excluding random and chat) are publicly logged, and tmk it'd be easy to log anything through irc for those channels? don't really think anyone should be talking in the indieweb chats with the expectation of privacy.

Then why bother with #IndieWeb at all?over the past day or so
I'm talking about over half a year that I've been in their channel.and slack
My point is getting stronger, I think.a privacy concern
Its not a privacy concern, its a concern about IndieWeb's stated goals and their actions which go directly against it. -
@tyil @catgirlin Someone might say it is a case of do what we say, not what we do. Someone might also say there is a fine line between being pragmatic and being dogmatic. Nevertheless, some of what indieweb say makes sense; however, they have gone about it in a certain way, and they haven’t exactly set the world on fire.
