But yeah, a lot of these border on ego-mania and are not that useful in real situations.
What I like about this is the endeavor of collecting a generalized list. Collecting something new (things not commonly collected and generalized) is itself creative and is thought-provoking.
It's kind of wild that someone would spend the time to make a /death web page but they wouldn't make a legal will instead. I can understand that it might not be common or affordable in Russia though. I don't think /death will become a generalized pattern any time soon but it is interesting to think why that is the case and what is blocking that from happening.
It would be more useful if the site did some scraping to figure out what is commonly used and re-order the existing entries by their popularity. I would imagine that /contact and /about would be #1 and #2
This is one of the few things they mentioned that I wouldn't care was public or if strangers knew it about me. But overall, this just seems like a fairly normal way to structure a website. I'm not...

This is one of the few things they mentioned that I wouldn't care was public or if strangers knew it about me.
But overall, this just seems like a fairly normal way to structure a website. I'm not sure what's new or innovative about having /contact or /about pages on your website. The slightly less common ones are kinda neat in a weirdly personal way, but without an index (i.e. their /slashes page), this isn't something you're just going to randomly stumble into, and with an index, this is just a list of various pages you can have on a personal website (which isn't necessarily a bad thing to have a list of, but it's a little odd in the way they presented it).
I think the worst one though, is the guy/girl/bloke/pronoun one. With the other pages, if you browse personal websites under the (likely incorrect) presumption that they all implement slash pages, you can navigate to them by name, even without an index, and potentially find some of the pages. But if you don't already know someone's pronouns (or if they chose to go under guy/girl instead), you'll have to try a dozen different permutations before figuring out they don't have such a page.
Yeah! As the number of entries in the list expanded, the usefulness of the idea retreated. I agree with you - a short standard list would be more palatable.

I have a couple of those on my own website and I do enjoy browsing around others, especially if they are well curated and makes for further exploration. I don't find long lists of stuff very inspirational. A blogroll with dozens of only blog names, or a long list of software you use isn't that interesting to read. I would much rather have a short curated list of blogs with a description of what they are and why the person likes them, or a blog entry of why you use emacs and 1password is better than just a list of software.
But of course, the beauty of the indieweb is that people can do whatever they want on their own website. No one has to abide by a set of standards or practices if they don't like them.
