Hacker News Reader

Microsoft's social network is not a blog. A blog is something that exists, no matter what global companies do.

Having as many readers as possible is not my idea of a blog. Writing is the core idea. Laying out thoughts to yourself and to whoever it concerns.

You can always spread the link to your post via social networks, but you don't have to.

People can find your useful posts years later via search engines amd they don't need a login for the full reading amd commenting experience.

LinkedIn is far more useful as a way to promote a blog, rather than as a blog, IMO.

Ideally you want to keep control of your blog, and not have it tied to a platform that's prone to enshittification.

That's the joke. If you don't care about tools and throw a dart to pick one, you'll land on something with enshittification. I went from Blogspot > WP > Medium > Posthaven > Hashnode > HTML on my own site that nobody reads. At some point, the tools matter.
