In part, it’s fun. It’s a challenge, and something to do to keep me entertained. But more than that, it’s empowering to know that I am in control of all of my content. I’ve been posting content online for longer than many of these silos have existed; so maybe I’m a relic of a bygone time, when people had more skin in the game of content creation? Maybe I’m pursuing some quixotic vision where people share meaningful information without the burden of monetization or gamification or the pursuit of more followers.
This ^. Even though I don't have a hundredth of Skippy's knowledge.
It says here https://indieweb.org that "The IndieWeb is a people-focused alternative to the 'corporate web'", but that's just a start and of course there is more to it than that. More a state of mind than a thing, I'd say.

Quick reminder that a 3-hour [virtual Homebrew Website Club](https://indieweb.org/events/2018-06-13-homebrew-website-club) will be starting in about 22 minutes. We use [Mumble](https://indieweb.org/Mumble) to chat about anything and everything #IndieWeb. See you there.
Great explanation and interesting change, though I personally don't like such a dark background. One thing I noticed, the blue of the date-as-permalink in comments is really intense, to the point of distraction. For me.
