In which I get esoteric, talking about why I like Mastodon more than Cohost: https://blog.giants-club.net/post/704006966976069632/mastodon-cohost
Why I am more enthusiastic about Mastodon than Cohost

Okay. So. I am absolutely not a "free software or die" kind of cat when it comes to software and services. I mean, I've been a Mac user for decades, and my favorite applications---from my writing...

Tumblr

@arilin vaguely adjacent question (re: not at all): why did you choose Ulysses over something similar (and mostly free) like Obsidian?

It seems like the only big advantage is that Ulysses has a couple extra productivity tools that Obsidian doesn't natively have. (I say "natively" because Obsidian has some great plugin support, and it wouldn't surprise me if those tools exist there).

@micro_cat Well, the honest truth is because I was using Ulysses long before I'd even heard of Obsidian. :) Ulysses also seems to have gone more explicitly after former Scrivener users, which I am.
