I dunno, sounds more like some gate keeping, or maybe I'm biased because I hate the term for no discernible reason.

> has content of different levels of development, is imperfect and often a playground for experimentation, learning, revising, iteration, and growth for diverse content

So because I polish my "posts" to a certain degree before publishing it's not a digital garden? Because 50% of my blog posts are "timeless" in a sense that they're about... stuff that exists.. not current dvelopments it's not a digital garden? Becuase I never delete stuff (as if people with wikis would delete stuff :P)... and so on.

I mean, I couldn't care less but I feel (and this seems to be a common theme) that the indieweb people are mostly dogmatic about their definitions and not very encouraging (also why I tried to take part in the irc channel years ago and left, frustrated).

But yeah, if someone want to own the definition of blog and digital garden and not accepting a certain overlap with "personal website", sure.
