What good is posting to a self hosted WordPress and on WordPress dot com? This doesn’t make a lot of sense.

lepinkainen OP ,

You post to a location you control, then post the link to that to other sites.

That way you own and control the content.

There’s a reason why Meta and Twitter hate external links, it takes people out of their feed

Yes, I understand, but half the stuff in the diagram on the website just doesn’t make sense.

Just make an RSS/ATOM feed and be done with it.

I don’t value my content all that much.

Feel like the (totally impractical) fediverse end-game would be for each individual to have their own activitypub service, and federation happening on a person-by-person basis. So you retain some control over anything you publish, and your history is yours to keep.

The Indie Web website up there actually has protocols to do most of what people do for social media, in exactly that structure. It’s enough of a pain to set up that I don’t see it becoming normal, but the amount that I’ve set up for my website at least works…

That’s awesome. Glad we’re finally automating the most important things in life - internet arguments.

Obligatory XKCD: xkcd.com/386/ 😀

But more seriously: I do frequent shitty FB forums where newbies ask the same question over and over again. I can just quickly copy-paste my longish and sourced response every time. I’m pretty close to just setting up an Alfred/TextExpand macro for the most common ones 😀

(On a proper forum we could just point them to a FAQ thread, but Meta makes is intentionally hard because ✨engagement✨)
