chat channels has a specific purpose and rough scope documented below in addition to these positive inclusion of topics per channel please also read chat behaviors to avoid or better elsewhere channel purpose mini faq not sure which channel to use ask in indieweb meta not sure if something belongs in indieweb or dev ask in indieweb dev first wordpress topic example that seems more broadly indieweb related ask in indieweb dev first indieweb indieweb channel welcome to the indieweb feel free to introduce yourself and your personal site here great place to chat about what you want to do with your personal site how to get on the indieweb get started how to post what to post indieweb events to join the community in person why indieweb including applying principles directly to pragmatic personal site goals improvements what software services are ready for users to use without dealing with coding or command lines keep it user centric please not sure if you should ask a technical question here ask yourself could someone who has never built a website understand what you re about to say ask if not please ask in the indieweb dev channel instead everyone s skill level and experience is different avoid words like simple just obviously easy when explaining things such words may cause shame when people run into difficulty further reading is available in a blog post written by chris coyier on words to avoid in educational reading is someone using jargon code or dev talk politely request such conversations move to the indieweb dev channel see below we encourage the whole community to help with this to keep the main chat friendly for newcomers and folks that want to focus on using the indieweb and it helps avoid encounters like https twitter com klandwehr status 977237843293720576 recently joined the indieweb slack and i feel like i ve entered a foreign country the words i am reading are english but at times they make no sense the indieweb is just not ready for normals but i sure hope it will be klandwehr march 23 2018 why we ask discussions with jargon to move to the indieweb dev channel 2025 04 15 how i a non developer read the tutorial you a developer wrote for me a beginner for topics about the community reasons thinking behind or evolving the principles that are not otherwise directly tied to specific personal site improvements please take those discussions to the indieweb meta channel lastly if you re not sure where you should ask about a topic you can ask that question in indieweb meta dev indieweb dev channel dev in slack development tools services like bridgy issues apis creating anything besides content and any kind of jargon e g creating design ux implementation details protocols like http webmention micropub indieauth activitypub formats like html css microformats2 h entry h card h event rss atom activitystreams frameworks coding languages like js php python ruby server configuration apache nginx https and other plumbing wordpress indieweb wordpress channel wordpress in slack wordpress specific topics getting started with wordpress indieweb wordpress plugins wordpress themes general wordpress development if a

keywords in this channel mastodon tag feeds for the keyword indieweb from mastodon social and indieweb social are included there are also a number of individual blogs followed with a filter for indieweb related keywords you can also read the combined feed of posts at https stream indieweb org random indieweb random channel random in slack random is a channel for active members of the indieweb community to talk about other things and is not publicly logged you may quote on topic things from the random channel e g in other channels or to create or add to a relevant wiki page via loqi keeping such operational commands from adding noise to human conversations in other channels slack and discord have some number of lines of scrollback like a cache to provide context for recent messages however both the random and cafe channels are not publicly logged cafe indieweb cafe channel cafe in slack the cafe channel is an off the record channel for active indieweb community members with expectations of no quoting and no logging similar to having a chat at a public cafe quoting or even summarizing statements in this channel to anywhere else including other channels may only occur after getting explicit permission from the author s of those statements chat behaviors to avoid or better elsewhere this section is a stub you can help the indieweb wiki by expanding it this is a relatively new section attempting to capture a set of community concerns and suggested guidance as a draft this section is very much open to input critique and refinement please follow up in the meta channel accordingly beyond code of conduct violations which are clear cut and handled swiftly there are some chat habits that can quietly make a space less welcoming over time these aren t about bad intentions most of them come from a genuine desire to connect share or think out loud but chat is a shared space and what works well for individual expression doesn t always work well for group conversation here are a few patterns worth being mindful of along with some thoughts on why they matter and what to try instead spam this section is a stub you can help the indieweb wiki by expanding it spamming may result in summary kicking and banning from indieweb chat channels especially if it s your first post in chat if your first post in chat contains a link to something that isn t your personal website i e a project you re trying to promote your post will be considered spam and will likely be promptly removed by an admin removing spam if you re looking for how to remove spam from our chat archives see how to remove spam from the logs examples of spam we have seen solicitations to hire people solicitations looking to be hired including implicit solicitations via linkedin like

behavior the serial monologuist see monologuing or multi posting below the trauma dumper see sharing personal status or emotional updates below the boomerasker may need a new sub section watch for this in chat or hwcs the interrupter may need a new sub section watch for this in chat or hwcs the care bear may need a new sub section watch for this in chat or hwcs frequent non sequituring read before you chat avoid non sequiturs ignoring prior chats and topics being discussed by people in a channel when people are actively discussing something dropping in with an unrelated topic especially a personal one can feel a bit like walking into a room where people are talking and changing the subject it can come across as dismissive of what s already happening even if that s not your intent sometimes a topic may fork or someone may introduce a tangent and multiple topics end up going back and forth and as a medium chat can handle some of that that s typically not a problem as long as it s clear there s a back and forth on the topic or topics the thing to watch for is whether you re joining the conversation or redirecting it reading before posting is a way to figure this out if you ve got something you want to raise but the channel is mid flow try engaging the current topics being discussed in a channel or writing down your new topic privately in a notebook a text file or even a blog post and coming back to it when there s a natural pause in the conversation note your idea will still be there and it ll land better when people have space to engage with it if you are unsure and still feel compelled to share a brief sentence on a new topic and want to avoid interrupting other conversations of all the channels random is preferable since there is a greater expectation that chat there will be well random similarly expect someone else might say something else random or return to the prior topic being discussed sharing personal status or emotional updates chat channels are not a personal dear diary journal they are for community conversations in general please post short personal updates to your personal site instead of chat personal updates even joyful ones can shift a channel s energy in ways that put others in an awkward spot unsure whether or how to respond or feeling guilty for not responding over time if it becomes a pattern it can quietly drain the energy that keeps people showing up when something big is happening in your life it s natural to want to share it with people you feel connected to and it says something good about this community that it feels like a safe place to do that that said chat works best when it s a conversation rather than a broadcast indieweb chat channels are for the community and shared interests more than personal updates if you re going through something and want to process it writing a blog post journaling or having a conversation with someone close to you will serve you better than a chat room both because you deserve that kind of focused attention and because a channel full of people can t provide it if you find yourself motivated by a desire for validation please pause and reconsider if you still find yourself chatting purely personal nothing to do with the community updates especially multiple days in a row or copy paste the same personal update across multiple communities people will notice and likely ask you to stop sharing all personal updates in all chats especially copy pasting nearly the exact same personal update across disparate channels or disparate communities tends to look like a bid for attention or validation and repeatedly looks like validation farming which is not the point of chat channels use your personal site and posse to social media if you feel compelled to reach lots of people with your personal updates this also goes for channels like the cafe or random which tend to be informal yet are still community spaces with an expectation of conversations rather than updates a notable exception to this is if there s some sort of shared experience that folks in a channel are already discussing like a shared tragedy or disaster in that case people have already decided to invest some emotional labor as well as participate in mutual sharing and more importantly listening to feelings and emotional responses to a shared event listen to others first and acknowledge them before sharing your own it s also ok to share matters of a life happens variety in the context of setting expectations of not being around or not responding to chats however if it becomes a pattern of sharing life happens events that demand repeated and possibly continuous implicit emotional labor from everybody else in the channel it can have the effect of draining and driving people away from chat channels even if that was not your intention monologuing or multi posting please avoid monologuing or rapidly multiposting in chat cha...
