zeruch@albinanigans I have found the act of returning to a Wordpress site (at least for now) and just writing whatever suits me, then (if) syndicating elsewhere, is much more amenable to sanity.
@zeruch I've been doing that myself! I dusted off Dreamwidth for old time's sake as well.
Alison Wilder@albinanigans Any favorite blogs you can recommend? I'm an #RSS fiend. :)
@alisynthesis OH BUDDY *cracks knuckles*
Some I love are: American Girl Outsider, IKEA Hackers, A Writer's Path, Good Black News, Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers Association
Some of the latter ones are more like "sites that have RSS enabled," but eh. :)
@albinanigans yay!! Thank you, those all sound awesome! OMG IKEA Hackers is still going? Sweeet. *heads to feedbin*
@alisynthesis I've also got a lot more for tech news, queer news, and some web design/css stuff.
Lifehacker, Ars Techania(sp?!), Autostraddle, Queerty, Polygon, Destructoid, Black Girl Nerds, Geeks/Nerds of Color, A List Apart...
NSFW suggestion: Oh Joy Sex Toy. Sure, it's hot, but also pretty informative.
@albinanigans hot AND informative? Sign me up!
Thanks so much for the recs...it's always such fun to start seeing new things in my daily RSS travels.
@alisynthesis I'll check these out! I'm always looking for more to read.
4bz@albinanigans I don't think they ever left; they just started hiding as WordPress and Medium ;)
And now you got me thinking of a simpler time when everyone had a LiveJournal or Xanga. Going to school the next morning and everyone giving you looks cause they read that you kissed someone in their blog the night before
@4bz LJ didn't quite take off in my high school (those invites were hoarded!!), but I got everyone using BlogDrive.
Pete Prodoehl 🍕@albinanigans Sheesh! Been blogging non-stop since 1997. 😉
The Duality of Xan@albinanigans Huh. Maybe I should start blogging again.
@XanIndigo do eeeeet
Clockwork ☃️✒️Through Mastodon I've reached so many more opinions, perspectives and insights than DECADES of mainstream journalism.
God bless blogs.
Guérin@albinanigans It's great to see people extend beyond attenuated expressions and put more of themselves onto the (digital) page.
Arnaud Mangasaryan (Ramenos)@albinanigans I would love that. Does that mean we found a way to kill threads on #Twitter ? Because it's a nightmare to read...☠️
@ramenos twitlonger is no more!
MeowcateI'm low-key here for this >_>
DaddyScruff@albinanigans I never really stopped. I’ve taken breaks but I’ve always loved blogging.
Stefanie@albinanigans I am starting one for my dog adventures lol. I thought I was being lame for doing it, but now I don't feel as lame.
@ImYourMausoleum aww, thats adorbs!
@albinanigans I can't wait. I have to go pick her up and I am taking her to this dog beach. So stoked about it.
Joshua | John Doe's RPG Manor@albinanigans #Blogging for the rules!
Seirdy@albinanigans Pairs wonderfully well with #POSSE (Publish on Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere)!
Did blogs and feeds ever disappear? I feel like they’ve always been around.
I've been thinking about this. They never seemed to go away for me-- RSS and Dreamwidth are a staple for me-- but seemed to fade from the public consciousness. At most, it felt like a blog was somewhere you ended up from Facebook or Twitter. Like an afterthought.
Or maybe it's that New Internet Feeling that I'm thinking about, and not just blogs.
Preslav Rachev@albinanigans indeed, and our effort with https://feedle.world is a testament to that!
Deborah Robinson@albinanigans I told someone that would happen. I am just awakening my blog too.
