I wonder if the problem is part of the solution? As I slowly explore the IndieWeb ideas and tools I find that quite a few don’t do exactly what I want. So I slow down. Think. Tweak. Often delete a draft.

For example, I am starting to understand Indigenous, I’ve Micropub posts set to be drafts. I don’t like the way my theme presents these posts. I remove the auto generated excerpt, tweak the title and perhaps the quote. This helps me think the post through. It becomes a little less knee-jerk.

I’ve a long way to go. I get distracted, meander, I click and like, but I think the IndieWeb is making me a happier blogger.

Liked A side benefit of going IndieWeb... by Chris AldrichChris Aldrich (BoffoSocko)
A side benefit of going IndieWeb and posting everything to my own site first instead of to social silos like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinboard, Reading.am, Pocket, Mastodon, etc.: It’s pretty easy to rack up big consecutive day posting streaks in WordPress. Toaster notification on my computer...

I’ve hardly posted to micro.blog in a week but it seems I open it quite often. Reading micro.blog has become a relaxation & inspiration. The more thoughtful nature of the community, & posting to my own site, means I don’t fire off so many posts.
