I initially 'fell for' the #indieWeb as well because I love structured semantic data and hypertext.
Until it was apparent that all of the things they promise and offer ... are either:
better done with other tools (h-feed -> RSS, h-card -> address element, webmentions -> e-mail etc.)
a neat idea that goes nowhere because nothing implements any functionality for it (#microformats)
or corporate cryptobro web3 nonsense (integrations, SEO etc.)
And the community was super weird, it was seemingly just the "thought leader on LinkedIn" kind of crowd instead of the chaotic queer hackers I was used to interacting with in the #WebRevival movement
