@SimonWoods I saw that. I'm hoping the platform doesn't become too bloated and complex. On the other hand, if you're looking to build your own self-contained community, it's a positive step in that direction.
@manton This is most unfortunate. Cross-posting is one of the main reasons I use Micro.blog. I've used apps like Hypefury and Buffer to syndicate my Wordpress blogposts. I love the ethos of Micro.blog and have been with you off and on over the years. I love the agility of Micro.blog vs the sluggishness of Wordpress or the chaos of Tumblr as blogging platforms. It's the potential reach that keeps me in bed with the likes of Twitter and Meta. I prefer to touch those apps at a distance, through cross-posting. Anyway, I understand your decision and would probably do the same if I was in your position.
@SimonWoods That's an interesting thought that "regular people have no interest whatsoever in the lightning-fast progress of technology, compared to hobbyists." I would add to that tech geeks, like myself, easily distracted by the shiny and new - like a magpie. My wife fits in the regular people category. She can't understand my lust for the latest and greatest tech.
@RayG You can spend a lifetime pealing back the layers, but it's worth the effort.
