hey dudes welcome to the first ebubble on megmer's ebubbles!!!!
"why did you move off of instagram?"
instagram sucks because of their endless data collection, being owned by facebook, being designed for people to get addicted to it, and no api except for some specific use cases. (also they design their app like they dont want you to use it, i mean like whats this "snooze suggested posts in feed for 30 days" bs i just dont want to see stuff from people i dont follow.)"okay i get that but why not just move to a open source federated social media like pixelfed or mastodon?"
erm... yeah that does kinda make sense but like. a blog is much cooler in my opinion because it is made for the type of long rants i love typing. i was going to use and customize an instance of ghost or writefreely, but ironically it didnt give me the freedom i wanted, as i could not figure how to embed it into my site or change the font to comic sans. but speaking of the fediverse (stupid name i hate it so much), i am working on a feed2toot instance that will post all of my blog posts on mastodon so you wont have to learn what an rss feed is
"i also dont like the social media im on right now, what would you suggest i do?"
well probably not what i did. it took a while to learn how html and 11ty works and make this site. you should probably switch to a federated social media (meaning all the posts on one social media like diaspora can be viewed on any other such as pixelfed). the most popular one is mastodon but you should just pick whichever you like most because they can all* view the posts of eachother. if you specifically want a blog, use writefreely, ghost, flatpress, or any of the other amazing open source blog engines out there that im too good for.
