I know it will never happen, but I would love a resurgence of micro-blogs.
All this talk of decentralised social media and all these new solutions, just to full circle back to self-hosted personal blogs.
I feel like in the tech circle they never left, but they aren't consumed by the general population.
- beardedetim 4y agoMicroblogs are _the thing_ just have always been "too early". Not sure _how_ this will work but I strongly believe that microblogs are the _end goal_ here.
- 9dev 4y agoI don’t think self-hosted will ever happen. Centralisation wins for consumer services. This has been proven even with the crypto shitshow, which revolves by and large around a few centralised platforms. On the other hand, are micro-blogs so different from TikTok stories, other than the format of the content (text vs. video)?
- skinnymuch 4y agoI don’t think self hosting can win either. As you’re saying. I do like the idea of everything like micro blogs not having to be on a central site. Though even that seems unlikely. It would be nice to have the format of blogs again where there’s different subdomains or domains and you can’t directly click thru to get to the rest of the “social media” bigger org. I sort of described substack here but a bit more personalization and independence if possible.
