I guess there's some category bleed going on here. I was originally maintaining a list of "micro-blog"-y sites I wanted to try out. Somewhere along the way it got mixed in with these "easy quick single static page" of services or "basically a txt file" site (e.g. rentry.org)
At this point I feel the need to bring up Etherpad which is essentially an encrypted Google Docs alternative but can be used similarly. Ofc there's also Notion which is in a similar vein.
You know, the more I think about this problem the more saddened I am by the state of social media. You can't share a FB or Instagram post without forcing people to sign in or make an account. Twitter is one of the last ones that allow their content to be freely shared but the char limit is a pretty significant limit and even that has popups
It seems that the problem of "how do I make a quick and simple static site to share with anyone with internet access" isn't really a hard problem. Instead all these major social networking services have worked their ass off to make sure their platforms can't be used in that way

I do not believe this to be the case. If not logged in, it will lock the screen and block you reading after a few entries. That's not "free".
- culi 4y agoAh I didn't realize that. I think I have a browser extension that prevents this. I agree that's not "free"
