I microblog here on activitypub. I macroblog on my website, using git+jekyll. I wish there were simple ways to midblog, a paragraph or two here or there.
@timkrief no medium is for longform blogging. i'm talking about medium-*sized* content, like 2-4 paragraphs, what people use tweet threads for now.
there is still a need for longform federation, though. i used to work with Steem, which was reddit-on-a-blockchain, because of the need for censorship-resistant publishing.
@timkrief perhaps the solution is just to increase my masto max toot size to like 10000 like some instances do, and trigger a rebuild of my static website (with a page that republishes my mastodon feed) each and every time i toot.
@Th3G4m3r @timkrief i only intend to send 1-4 mails to my mailing list per year. in fact, i have never sent even 1 mail yet.
i toot (microblog) dozens of times per day. i post (macroblog) maybe 1-2 times per month (12x per year).
i would like a good format for a 1-2/day post, for things that are not big enough to be a blog post.
asking a reader for attention is asking a favor.
@sneak what about threads here then? 🤔
@timkrief i like microblogging, and will continue to use it. i just don't like breaking single publications (in the 1-5 kilobyte range) into pieces to fit the microblogging format. also i would like them on my website automatically, without a website rebuild/republish.
@sneak like a federated, libre and opensource "medium"-like? 🤔
