It is 2026, it is not hard to publish a "blog" , if you want to share that same content over social networks that's fine but it should be a requirement that the data doesn't solely live in private walled "social" networks
- mitxela 11d agoHow is posting on wordpress.com or tumblr.com any different from posting on x.com?
- simondotau 11d ago1. It's always publicly readable; 2. It is not reliant on any singular corporation, or trusting any singular corporation. 3. The established domain name system proves authenticity. And of course the information can still be posted to X, etc.
- mitxela 11d ago1 is untrue, 2 is untrue, 3 is the same as x.com
- simondotau 11d ago1 is true: if you control the web server, you control whether the content is published as readable by anonymous visitors. 2 is true: if you disagree, provide the name of that singular corporation. To be clear, you're always relying on corporations, but there's no single gatekeeper. 3 is not the same: if I see something published on "www.water.dcceew.nsw.gov.au" I can be reasonably confident that it is published by my local Government. If I see an X account of @NSWDCCEEW_Water then I need to start looking for context clues, most of which can be faked.
- mitxela 11d ago1. You don't control the wordpress.com or tumblr.com web server 2. Wordpress or Tumblr respectively 3. but it's not, it's dcceew.tumblr.com or dcceew.wordpress.com
- Raed667 11d agoAssuming this is a goodfaith argument for a second ! You can host a wordpress wherever you like with whichever provider you like or even on a potato in a closet. The format and data are open and can be switched to any platform at any time without an account or login. RSS !
- mitxela 10d agoyou can't own wordpress.com though
