I wonder whether anything other than running a blog on your own infrastructure (your own server at home) is really in line with the full definition of the IndieWeb.
After all, someone who hosts blog might be using a data centre that utilises an LLM or something like that. In that case, I suppose we’re not quite dealing with a pure IndieWeb.
Am I wrong? I’m not sure what to make of it all anymore, given the stories described here over the last few days.
How can one unequivocally identify a platform that’s free from any such constraints, yet isn’t just a small server sitting on your desk?

@bstn This gives me a headache too. Unless you're doing it all yourself, from your own hardware that sits in your own home. Otherwise it's quite difficult to eliminate the fact that somebody, somewhere along the line, is doing something that crosses a line.
I operate under a "doing the best I can" principle. It's not going to be perfect, not much in life is. The big one for me is avoiding the big tech companies as much as possible, but we all have our own thoughts and opinions on these things. "Do your best" is an acceptable philosophy, I feel, but others mileage may vary. :)

@jac It's really interesting point of view. Really. Maybe it's a key to resolve this problem.
