You walked away from the corporate feed trough. You ripped your voice out of the algorithm's claws. That took guts. That took conviction. That's punk! The IndieWeb isn't some polished product you buy with a tap. It's you, your words, your server, your turf. It's raw HTML and full-throated autonomy. This isn't about metrics or brand deals -- it's about owning your damn voice. If you've ever looked at those social media sugar traps and said, "No thanks, I'm not a product," then congratulations -- you're part of the resistance. We need digital buttons, badges like the ones we used to stab into our jean jackets -- statements of identity, rebellion, belonging. This POAP? It's not just a collectible. It's a battle patch. A symbol. A nod to the hard-headed, soft-hearted punks building the web they want to live in. It started with Jamie Thingelstad screaming the truth from his blog: IndieWeb is Punk [1]. Then others joined the chorus [2] and even sang along [3], and Jim Mitchell did what punks do -- he made a damn shirt [4]. So slap that badge on your digital vest. Wear it like blood, sweat, and static. You're not just on the web -- you are the web!
