But I've been using Feedly for years and it remains how I read blogs, including yours.<br /><br />I've opened accounts on Mastodon and Post. Mastodon seems most like a direct Twitter replacement. But the question remains -- why? Do we need a short message service? The world has voted that not all of us need to blog, and the engines that used to power discovery are muted.<br /><br />I'd like to say I wish everyone would longform blog again -- but why? What we need are well-written informed unique voices with intriguing viewpoints, and maybe that just means fewer people creating long content. I'll still be using RSS until they kill it.louisgrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00675642665339417672noreply@blogger.com
