@manton Fair enough and I do appreciate your continuing to discuss these issues.
Part of my frustration with Micro.blog \is I don’t actually know what I want at this point!
I’m active on Mastodon, BlueSky and the blogosphere, and I want the people who follow me to have native experiences on each platform. Maintaining a presence in all three places involves far too much cutting-and-pasting. Manton, I perceive you like to keep Mastodon and Bluesky at arm’s length. Not have a native experience there, but rather use those platforms to drive readers here.
I’m also active on Tumblr, but micro.blog’s syndication there is great, so that’s not a problem for me. Also, I perceive Tumblr is, sadly, waning.
And I’m also active on Facebook, but Facebook is actively hostile to automation so I don’t expect Micro.blog to do much there. Indeed, Facebook is where I get most of the activity on my posts.
Also, we disagree about boosts/reblogging. I have disagreed with you (respectfully!) about that for years, and my disagreement is getting more powerful now. Boosts/reblogging is a powerful tool for discovering new content. I’m particularly seeing that on Mastodon. Not supporting boosts and reblogs is like not supporting vowels.
BTW, welcome back to Micro.blog, @chaitanya ! I hope you enjoy it.
@JohnPhilpin Are we disagreeing here? I signed up for Micro.blog as a platform for blogging and sharing to social media. I see Bookshelves, Notes, the RSS reader and AI integration as distractions. @manton seems to have decided the blog/social integration parts are feature-complete and I see plenty of room for improvement.
However, as you say, there does not seem to be an alternative.
@JohnPhilpin Either should be fine. And thank you for your interest!
@Bodling Late 70s New York girls were allowed to wear pants. Jeans, even.
@lydialurch Extraordinarily cute!
@eurobubba I’d still rather have a room to play with poodles. I mean, I can get a drink anywhere.
@JohnPhilpin I haven’t touched the setting in months. It just started working for me a day or a few days ago and I noticed Manton said he made changes to OpenGraph at about the same time. I wish I could be more help!
@JohnPhilpin It’s a setting on micro.blog. I think @manton updated it — previously it did not work for me.
@Uair I see the resemblence!
