@manton I do think there’s a basic values conflict at work here. One of the things I like about micro.blog and the Indie Web in general is that it hearkens back to the egalitarian values of the early Web, giving everyone an equal voice and chance to be heard. But most people – and definitely most journalists – do not share those values. Instead they are more interested in who’s building the biggest pyramid, and who will end up first and biggest in a mad scramble to the top. (P.S.: I fnd my little Mac app Notenik has a similar problem, flying under the radar of apps like Obsidian.) But then I think it’s probably also true that some of us are better and more interested in continuing to make a better product than in spending time promoting our achievements to the press.
