My no-nuance take on the recent discourse:
I am not less than the other people in the IndieWeb community for not having a fancy, automated, cool setup on my personal website. Nobody has ever made me feel that way. It doesn't matter if all you have is a simple page with your name and email.
If there is one place where you can do whatever you want and how you want is your personal website. I'm lucky to have found a community that supports this.
