This is my current content creator workflow and tools. I recognize that it is more focused on the tools but not the flow between them could be better explained.
I wish I had prepared a year in review post. Not this year. Maybe next year.
As we get closer and closer to 2023, with announcements surrounding Mastodon ecosystem, the latest being the creation of an instance by the creators of Mammoth, a Mastodon client, my challenge will be to not succumb and get my own account. I want to focus in 2023, that’s why it is a challenge. That said, creating an instance to ease the adoption of Mastodon with a simple setup and sign up procedure is clever.
I always wonder if I should put a title to my posts. Short post = no title. Longer post = with title? Long post without a title gives a preview of the post content which is good for readers to see what the post is all about? Decision decision decision.
More is Indeed Better on Micro.blog
I receive more user feedback or interactions in a day here on Micro.blog than in an entire month on Twitter. On top of that, the quality is 100x higher too.
Think about that for a second.
Thank you guys!
Sometimes I wish I had started blogging fifteen or twenty years ago. It would be so cool to have this long stretch of writing at my disposal and reflect back at what I wrote. I guess I’ll do just that in ten or fifteen years from now… 🤷🏻♂️
Starting from now: I no longer cross-post my original Micro.blog posts to Twitter. Curious to see how bad it will be for my visitors analytics.
Musing About Writing Needs And This War
Earlier this year, back in May I think, I started a subscription to Write.as. Why? I was curious about this platform for writers and there was a special for a five-year subscription. So, why not! Then I started to write about my reactions to the war in Ukraine. I wrote maybe a dozen of posts on this subject. I had to let go my feelings. Then I stopped. But I still follow the news about this senseless war. I’m still in state of mixed feelings ranging from feeling helpless, frustrated, desperate, raging, etc.
Now, I don’t know what to do. Should I continue writing on Write.as or move my written frustrations elsewhere? Here? I don’t know. Enabling posts import to my timeline from the Write.as RSS feed might be a good solution.
Tell me what you think about dilemma.
Write.as: Are You Fediverse Friendly?
Write.as and Fediverse support (or lack of):
Write.as doesn't render the URLs of both the toot and the PeerTube video. The HTML embedding code does work, but the rendered video is not responsive and doesn't blend well with the page on mobile.My guess is that we will see changes to Write.as to make it more Fediverse friendly.
I love the idea of Ooh.directory, blog directory and most supporting RSS feeds. I submitted mine. Will see if they accept it.
