I have decided to go all in with Micro.blog for blogging. I had been using my Blot blog for longer posts and Micro.blog for shorter posts. Short posts, long posts, travel photos, and everything in between is going to posted here now.

@jmreekes I’m curious as to why you’re publishing everything here instead of publishing everything on your Blot blog and syndicating here. Just to simplify or do you have other reasons?

@mdrockwell Trying to simplify the where do I post this but also wanting to get my content where I interact. I’ve got my Blot RSS setup here but don’t have web mentions or anything enabled. I know it’s possible but haven’t looked into it much.

@jmreekes makes sense. :)

@mdrockwell I know there are users here who use Blot with Micro.blog with web mentions and all the “goodies” but that’s more stuff for me to break when trying to set it up

@jmreekes that’s what I’ve been doing for a while. Seems like it’s been ok?

@collin Good to know. Thanks

@pratik Partially trying to simplify the where do I want to post this mental headache. I enjoy the community here a lot , so I figured I’d put everything here. I know it’s possible to link blot and micro.blog but it seems like something I would mess up.

@pratik I’m keeping my blot blog up and running, in case I decide to try to better link it here. I still love Blot and the move away isn’t because of any shortcoming on Blot.

@pratik Is the syndication the automatic RSS crossposting or something else. I’ve got the RSS crossposting configured. @mdrockwell mentioned syndicating from Blot to here as well. Y’all have got me curious

@pratik Very cool. How did you setup the web mentions on Blot, and sharing only certain tagged posts?

@pratik I’ve got my site’s RSS plugged in on MB. I need to do some research on enabling web mentions on Blot

@pratik Thanks for that. I remembered seeing a post from a MB user but couldn’t remember who. I also did not know that about tags on Blot.

@pratik This sounds interesting! Added to list.
