I've been following BlackSky's development with interest for a while, but recent events called for taking the next step. In addition to migrating my account, I'm also now supporting them with a monthly contribution, same as I do with my Mastodon server.

It's really okay to ease yourself into a new platform, selectively following people over time rather than trying to (re)build a large following as fast as possible.

Why not take this opportunity to rethink what a social network should mean for you, and start fresh? YMMV

It's time to get a bit more active on here again. I took a bit of a social break, but I'd love to start sharing and interacting again. #socialreboot

Remember the Blogaround Challenge?

Cynics might consider this engagement bait nowadays, but this was pre-social media (as we currently know it), when blogs were peaking.

New year, updated blog roll!

All of them will improve your feed in 2026.

Updated my blogroll to include a few social feeds (microblogs) that are as good as my favorite traditional blogs. Some people use social in ways that work better for them than a blog, and they'll improve your feed on those platforms.

I unsubbed from all Substacks a while back, including RSS feeds.

I still miss a few, but there are SO MANY other good newsletters/blogs, and we should spotlight our favorites insteads.

My #blogroll has 10 of my current must-reads I recommend to everyone.

Legacy social apps manipulate what you see. OmniSocial is algorithm-free, user-owned, and reputation-driven.

"Seems like we're all pretty disenchanted with Big Social Media these days, and I've been enjoying newsletters from a variety of folks - enjoying in the way I used to love blogs back in the heyday of the feed reader." 💯

"The idea I keep coming back to is that the big platforms, like Dickens' Marley, were dead to begin with, and are now something particularly bad, which is dead on their feet."
