i love the indieweb community for its idealism, but on the flip side they really push a lot of specs & standards without accompanying implementations

there's discussion in the thread, but the gist is that stuff like h-card is a decade-old spec without a single fully-formed consumer. mostly the same with h-entry. but instead of de-emphasizing these specs, they're at the top of the 'adopt indieweb' bits indieweb.org/Getting_Started

That said, I totally agree that specs without implementations are dangerous. I didn't bother adding Microformats to my website until there was a clear consuming use case for the additional markup. But that was like 7+ years ago now.
