Color me surprised! After reading your blogpost last year, I thought you had sworn them off completely.
I don’t know for sure if anything would fit the bill, but for what it’s worth, here’s where we discussed some options on a previous thread: What’s with “Discuss on Mastodon”?
Anyway, thanks for the interest, and I’ll make a note to ping you when that blogpost about comments goes up.
Certainly.
Responding to a reply in the other thread:
@elementaljuices Thank you, I think.
Further reading, somewhat related:
Yesterday my post got linked in this new post by Bix Frankonis: ‘Quite Achievable’ For Whom?
That post is a response to another post that’s been making the rounds, A Website To End All Websites, which is a pretty standard indie web manifesto in some respects, but Bix’s response reminded me of some of my thoughts about the Blogging in the Ruins post, in terms of pointing out some audience issues.
Pretty much everything leading up to this bit in the conclusion is gold, so far as the analysis is concerned. It falls apart for me here at the end, principally due to this blinkered idea of what kind of person might consider the above [generating your own social network on ActivityPub and ATProto] to be “quite achievable.”
And to reiterate, I’m very much on Team Quit Talking Up Bluesky/ATProto As If It Represents An Escape From Tech Overlords.
