Deleted previous IndieWeb post because it just felt like more complaining. I don't know how to contribute to this discussion in a way that's useful.
Them: IndieWeb is for everyone!
Me: But "everyone" has no idea what most of this stuff even is, let alone how to code it, use Terminal, debug things, fix things when they break, etc. I have these conversations ALL THE TIME.
Them: <crickets>
It's _because_ it matters to me so much that I'm so frustrated with this issue. I wish I could do more.

In my experience, the people, communities and social connections, they're what matter for any of the work we do.
The tech is something to build communities around, but if the tech weren't there, it would be something else.
I find it's easy for a lot of tech folks who feel like "this tech gives me purpose!" to then fall into the trap of "and thus it should be made integral to everyone's lives, so it can also give them purpose!"
@katanova This is a really good point, I don't usually see this acknowledged.
