Some unsolicited advice -
You run a service that serves public text updates. Why am I reading a blog post and not a series of bluesky posts?
I know that different mediums serve different purposes, but it’s tough to see why this wouldn’t be bluesky-first content.
- typeofhuman 2y agoTop comment. How good is your service if you can't dog food it.
- pooper 2y agoI strongly disagree. Please use the best tool for the job. Twitter/Mastodon/Blue sky is not the place to write long form posts. Please don't give such terrible advice.
- tasuki 2y ago> Twitter/Mastodon/Blue sky is not the place to write long form posts. Twitter is not the place to write/share much of anything. The other two, why aren't they for long form posts?
- CuriousCosmic 2y agoBecause it's longer than the text cap for a post. Unlike twitter, bluesky still sets a limit on how long text posts can be. That doesn't make it worse or anything. There's a lot of arguments supporting a text limit per post. But there's no reason why you should be posting this kind of long form content in a thread when you have a website you can link to (which is what their bsky acct did).
- jimberlage 2y agoHaving read the roadmap - this could be chopped up into posts that fit with the ethos of bluesky with no real loss to the message. It’s not particularly long and is just a couple of things they’re focusing on with a blurb about each roadmap item. Given that, and given that no one needs exposure to real bluesky posts more than bluesky right now, why make it longform at all?
- sen 2y agoI don’t expect Flickr to update users via a series of photos of text documents. They’re a micro-blogging service using the correct format for a long-form text update.
