Organization: IndieWeb Community
Type: Decentralized community / nonprofit infrastructure Founded: 2011 Base: International (origins: Portland, OR) URL: https://indieweb.org
Mission: Enable people to own their own data, have their own website, and be in control of their online presence — rather than depending on third-party platforms.
Problems Addressed:
- Primary: PR-00006 (Platform Feudalism) — the IndieWeb is the direct counter-movement to platform feudalism. Own your domain, own your data, own your identity.
- Secondary: PR-00005 (Epistemic Power Concentration) — owning your publishing infrastructure is owning your epistemic space.
Key Principles:
- POSSE (Publish on your Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere) — publish first on your own site, then distribute to platforms
- Own your data — your posts, photos, checkins, etc. should live on infrastructure you control
- Open standards — Webmention, Micropub, ActivityPub, h-card, h-entry — interoperability without platform lock-in
- Selfdogfood — use what you build; IndieWeb tools are built by and for their creators
Projects / Tools:
- Webmention.io — cross-site interaction standard
- Micropub — publishing API standard (W3C Recommendation)
- ActivityPub — federated social standard (W3C Recommendation, basis of Mastodon/Fediverse)
- IndieWebCamps — annual community gatherings
Connection to Values: VA-00005 (Digital Autonomy Is Political), VA-00001 (Epistemic Sovereignty) Connection to Plans: de-plan1-sven.md — STRATEGY 1 (federated citizen-controlled infrastructure) Connection to Arguments: AR-00001 (Platform Feudalism Threatens Democracy) — IndieWeb as structural response
