That moment when you realize you've got a bunch of lancing devices at home…but you don't have a working one with you. ? #diabetes #T2D
@JeremyCherfas What I'm still struggling with is the value proposition for people who don't care to own their own content. Because that's the very first statement in the "Why" for IndieWeb, and all decisions about IndieWeb stem from that.

@JeremyCherfas The system was designed by humans, which means it was very intentionally designed. We can argue about the motivations behind the design, of course, but the barriers do have the effect of keeping people out. And yes, they are being lowered, but knowing the humans involved, there are plenty that see some value in those barriers being there. They would never admit it publicly, of course.
I hope I'm wrong about all this, but I've seen this movie before. The real test will be what happens within the movement when a large player like Facebook starts adopting IndieWeb.

@matigo Much of the movement has a "this tall to ride" feel to it. Even if it's not intentional, it certainly does separate people into "haves" and "have nots."
