Mastodon (Bluesky/X/Instagram) is not the right platform for posting long-form content (a blog is) - 82MHz

@82mhz also: html5 is actually pretty groovy. aside, kbd, em, cite, bold, italic, quote, code, figcaption. Markdown is Javascript of writing, and reading it on short text media just adds to the frustration.
@mms True. I'm always surprised how much stuff there is in HTML5. But I mostly stick to the basics to keep the site readable on old and tui browsers as well.
@82mhz those things are mostly ignored by older browsers. AFAIK there is no downside ;-)
@mms
Well then the only reason that I don't have any of this is that I'm lazy ;)
