Pretty pleased I managed to have this entire conversation with @lsanger on Twitter using only my own website and tools! Never had to visit Twitter or use any Twitter apps! Our #indieweb tools have come a long way! #ownyourdata

But you're still using Twitter, which (a) helps them and (b) gives your tweeps no extra incentive to leave. If you made your stuff available only using a browser plugin that added your microposts to people's feeds, it would help make your open protocols go viral.

Another strategy would be to put half of your tweets on Twitter directly, then tweet out that you have another n tweets that people *could* have seen here, but they'll have to install the plugin.

There is definitely already a *lot* of my content that doesn't make it to Twitter and you have to follow my website to see it. I hadn't considered actually promoting this fact on my Twitter account tho! Not a bad idea!

Yes, definitely. Start a movement...get other people to do the same. "There's a whole other world of social media content that isn't here..." But if you give people a way to see that content, it'll get them thinking more deeply about the very idea of decentralized social media.
