@aschmitz i have strong feelings about indie haha as someone who comes from the northwest
(and actually i think indie web could have been a great name if the movement itself were better, but i’ve found it to be consistently disappointing personally)
mostly my feeling though is that people have difficulty articulating or capturing the political aspects of what is, in essence, a push back towards the democratization of the internet and a levelling of the field of power
and i think that this difficulty is something that anarchists in general have struggled with across a lot of venues, not limited to just the web
so no, i’m not sure i do have a better label, but that’s kind of what i’m saying
