An Easy Way to Start a Life in the IndieWeb

There are more and more post about the Indieweb and what you can find in a indiweb site/blog¹ but I didn’t find an easy tutorial for starting with IndiWeb. But first: What is the IndieWeb?

IndieWeb the definition

I thing that, to explain IndieWeb we need two definition: one from a more “anthropological” point of view and one from a “tecnical/it” point of view

Anthropological definition

The #IndieWeb is for everyone, everyone who wants to be part of the world-wide-web of interconnected people. The social internet of people, a network of networks of people, connected peer-to-peer in human-scale groups, communities of locality and affinity.

Tecnical/It definition

The IndieWeb is a community of independent and personal websites connected by open standards, 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.

So, why I need to be in the Indieweb?

You don’t need to be in. You need to choose red pill or blue pill

Red Pill: If you want to have a look inside the mirror and, because you have something to say online, you need to have a personal domain and a space where you have the control and own your content and

You stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes

Blue Pill: You keep the social network account you have and

The story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe

Red Pill, now what?

There are multiple things to do and tools to choose for you if you want to start with IndieWeb so I suggest a site which help you understand what you need to do and what to choose.

This site is Unplatform from the people of the fromthesuperhighway .

This is a simple way to understand and start with the red pill and with a complete explanation for every tool you choose so you can have the easyest way to became an IndieWeb user.

Have a nice IndieWeb expirience
