Using any corporatised, VC-funded social network contributes to its inevitable descent.
The beauty of Micro.blog cross-posting!
I agree with most of what you said in the post and while I get the point that feeding the “machine” with content is somehow giving value to a VC-funded product, I think that if there’s value in these short notes, it’s probably already being scrappped from the open web.
I favor the Fediverse over Bluesky, and the IndieWeb even more so (in a perfect world we’d all use Webmentions) but I signed up for 3 reasons:
- They allow domains as usernames.
- One can read via RSS.
- Cross-posting is easy.
I don’t think it has to be ActivityPub or AT though. Why not both?
