Ask HN: Where do you find/post blog articles?

3 points by jppope 1y ago

I've done a full stop on social media to come back to the web where can I find more interesting content and also contribute back?

I prefer not being on social media, it's amazing. Where to jump back in honestly depends on your target audience. For niche tech stuff, HN seems to be fine. I can't recommend reddit. I got an account a few months ago, and nearly every post or comment I spend time and effort on got downvoted to 0 immediately and stayed there. But maybe I'm just a terrible low quality contributor, who knows. Tiktok is hit or miss when it comes to interesting social content. I really enjoyed the niche debates on there that get at most 10k views. My main issue with it is how addictive it is. It's designed to be literally crack.

I suspect you mean tech blogs? If not, I have a small personal non-tech blog with 24 subscribers - https://rxjourney.net https://rxjourney.net If you like it and you're feeling extra generous, you can leave a donation.

Try variation of "infinite money theorem"[0][1] with something other than Shakespeare, one or more search engines and/or plenty of time. Perhaps, initially just trimming general category stuff, till list gets down to reasonable/managable size and/or diverge to different topic(s) of note/interest? Replace 'monkey' in theorem with smart glasses[2][3] to pull things from one's daily surroundings to feed the 'infinate monkey theorem" machine. ----------------------------------------------------- [0] : https://codepen.io/justinchan/full/krOLzV https://codepen.io/justinchan/full/krOLzV [1] : https://hum11c.omeka.fas.harvard.edu/exhibits/show/open-readings/the-library-of-babel-and-infin https://hum11c.omeka.fas.harvard.edu/exhibits/show/open-read...
