Thanks for the info and insightful stats. About the rising costs; I would personally be fine with sending brid.gy a modest monthly support for keeping the service going, especially as I totally rely on it for my publications to Twitter and Mastodon. Any way you think is cool?

Had a very similar experience with installing HexChat again after years of not being on IRC - in the early 2000s I was in a game - clan and we hung out in our chat-room on Quakenet all the time - I even kept the chat logs and generated stats on a web page. Unfortunately I lost those in a HD crash years ago.
Following the Indieweb on IRC can also be achieved when you're not on your PC as the channels and messages are reposted to this site almost instantaneously: https://chat.indieweb.org/meta/
It's great to keep track of what is been talked about and the integration of Loqi (the friendly irc bot) and the Twitter mentions of Indieweb related topics, makes it the perfect news source for indieweb-related matters.

@geonz cf. the tag. I can totally imagine the confusion with my reply. The [POSSE](https://indieweb.org/posse) integration with Twitter from my site is not working 100% and my reply to [Greg's post](https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2019/05/30/the-tools-exist-now-for-us-to) got lost in the process.

I totally agree. Just thinking out in the open here. How can we make the go mainstream though? How can we give the publishing tools the same appeal and adoption rate as Snapchat or even Twitter, especially so less techy people can simply join us? What would happen if FB and Twitter start supporting webmentions?

@jgmac1106 I think I managed to fix the idno/Twitter issue by updating the tmhOAuth library to the latest version and also updating the cacert.pem. Please see https://github.com/idno/Twitter/issues/58#issuecomment-494979029

@Cambridgeport90 Welcome to the ! Your site looks great. I personally went for Known on an Apache server with MySQL DB. Knowns works fine, but has its quirks. So your choice for using Wordpress is a sane decision. I am however trying to help out the Known open-source project to resolve some issues; slowly, but steadily.
