Ava blogs about what the IndieWeb might need right now, including some thoughts on social media and Mastodon:

…I personally don’t consider Mastodon instances to be included in the Indieweb; adjacent, for sure, as you have more control over your data in a way and escape big socials and can POSSE. But in the end, it will always remain a Twitter clone that still embodies the worst of social media and is not a personal website.

There are a lot of good thoughts in this post. And some overlap with the goals of Micro.blog too.
