Posts in "Microposts"

Part of me thinks, now would be a good time to drop off the social media for an extended period of time (4 years, perhaps?). Then again, that might not be wise either. After all, when you know what’s happening around the world, you can at least try to prepare for the ill effects. Thoughts? 🤪

I wonder if, 10 years from now, we’ll still be playing the “my platform just got rug pulled—where do I go now?” game. Or have we finally realized that the only way to opt out for good is to make our personal websites and blogs the place to be again? #startyourblog

Micro.blog might just be the last benevolent social network out there, when all the dust has settled. I mean, there’s Bluesky and Mastodon for sure, but.. dunno. Feeling pessimistic about the future of social media in general atm. There’s shitshows and dumbster fires everywhere you look 😓

I wonder how medium.com’s article discovery works these days, because it feels like.. it doesn’t? Wrote a piece and published it on Friday. Today, it has 3 views and 0 reads. And I’m supposed to have 1.5k “followers” there. Is that the normal experience there these days? Seems bit.. brutal? 😅

Oh, this is 💯 my problem, too: Cutting back by @MacPsych

Spreading myself thin with all the different social channels in the recent years and this year (despite all the Fediverse stuff) has probably been one of the worst. Mastodon, Threads, Bluesky, Micro.blog + handful of blogs on various platforms. It’s just too much. I’m strongly contemplating writing to a single blog in 2025, perhaps sharing those posts to Fediverse and be done with it. Tbh, not even sure about the sharing part. I mean, distribution is nice, but.. I really don’t want to keep bouncing between all those socials next year. I can’t seem keep myself active in one, let alone all of them. 😅

Oh how I hate those AI movie trailers that have infested YouTube with passion. Just saw another one, which I first though was a “real trailer” for an upcoming blockbuster. It’s beyond me how those don’t get taken down / sued by the movie studios. It’s one thing to make “fan art” and whole another to not even mention in the trailer description that this one’s generative AI made. All “just for the clicks/views”. 🤬

What a stunning Aurora Borealis week it was last week. One can never get tired of these views! 😍

Looks like only Mastodon cross-post went through. Bluesky and Threads “didn’t get the memo”. Let’s try again 🤔

Testing micro.blog cross-posting to Mastodon, Bluesky and Threads (don’t mind this message, will delete later). 😁
