Public comments on Mastodon / Lobsters / HackerNews.

@krinkle Thank you. So you publish a link to your blog post on all 3 platforms for comments? Which one is the best / attracts more meaningful discussions, in your opinion?

@ilyess

Mastodon. Human, insightful, and part of a larger continued conversation where some folks turning up again a few weeks/months later.

I rarely submit things to HackerNews, usually someone else does it first. It drives traffic, but I don't find its comments worth responding to or otherwise interesting as part of a larger conversation. It's not "social" in the way I look for.

I submit to Lobsters as courtesy, quiet comments, focused on passive upvote and hashtag discovery. Like Digg!

@krinkle I'm getting the same vibes from Mastodon. Never really felt the need to look elsewhere TBH.

Thanks for your insights on HackerNews and Lobsters!
