Mitch's Blog
I am banging my head against the same multiplatform wall that @davew@mastodon.social and @molly0xfff@hachyderm.io are fighting. I’m currently active on Micro.blog, Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, Tumbr, Facebook and an email newsletter and that is just ridiculous and yet I can’t bear to walk away from even one of them. I rely on Micro.blog’s excellent automation tools for cross-posting and syndication, and a bit of cutting and pasting, and I just live with it, but I hate it. I want to be able to just post to one place and let everybody read it on whatever platform they prefer, in the native format of that platform.

Minnie strained her left foreleg doing zoomies this morning so I think I’m going to be walking solo for the next ten days or so.
