I reflect on the challenges of the indie web and why escaping big-tech platforms isn’t as simple as it sounds. Discoverability is still the biggest problem people stay in the same online silos because that’s where everything is easiest to find. I write about creating anyway, even if few people read it, and keep searching for better ways to build a more open web.
Rolly's Take
This blog resonates deeply with those who feel the weight of the digital world’s silos but yearn for richer connections beyond the familiar confines of big tech. It's for the creators wrestling with the paradox of sharing their voice in an age where visibility seems like a cruel joke, and the quiet observers who crave authenticity yet hesitate to step into the light. As it navigates the complexities of discoverability and the allure of the indie web, it invites you to reflect on what it truly means to create, regardless of an audience. In its candid exploration of uncertainty, you may find kindred spirits and a renewed sense of purpose in the struggle for an open, meaningful online space.
