-   I'd like to start a blog carnival themed around leftist digital politics.
    -   I think [[blog carnival]]s are great.  A fantastic way to [[ritualise togetherness]] in a community, and an excellent nudge to blog regularly.
    -   I've been doing the [[Emacs Carnival]] for a good few months now.
    -   I've not yet found time for the [[Indieweb Carnival]], but I'd like to.
    -   We used to do [[node club]] on Agora too, which is pretty similar to a blog carnival.
    -   A carnival on lefty tech politics would be a good motivator to write, and a fun way to find the writings of others too.

        -   Via [[Flancian]].

-   I had a thought that alongside the 'indie' web ([[IndieWeb]]), what I also like is the idea of a 'slow' web.
    -   It captures what I've said before about not really doing that well on microblogging.
        -   I like the people and the content on the microbloggy side of the Fediverse, for example, but the pace and volume of it doesn't work well for me.
    -   Of course, there's plenty of prior art and thought around a [[slow web]].
        -   There's a [summary and links on the Indieweb wiki](https://indieweb.org/slow_web).

-   Blog carnivals are part of the slow web, for me at least.
