I don’t use dictation on my desktop. I have spent a lot of time typing every day for my entire adult life and much of my teens. I am as comfortable typing as I am speaking — maybe more comfortable.

\nPart of my frustration with Micro.blog \\is I don’t actually know what I want at this point!
\nI’m active on Mastodon, BlueSky and the blogosphere, and I want the people who follow me to have native experiences on each platform. Maintaining a presence in all three places involves far too much cutting-and-pasting. Manton, I perceive you like to keep Mastodon and Bluesky at arm’s length. Not have a native experience there, but rather use those platforms to drive readers here.
\nI’m also active on Tumblr, but micro.blog’s syndication there is great, so that’s not a problem for me. Also, I perceive Tumblr is, sadly, waning.
\nAnd I’m also active on Facebook, but Facebook is actively hostile to automation so I don’t expect Micro.blog to do much there. Indeed, Facebook is where I get most of the activity on my posts.
\nAlso, we disagree about boosts/reblogging. I have disagreed with you (respectfully!) about that for years, and my disagreement is getting more powerful now. Boosts/reblogging is a powerful tool for discovering new content. I’m particularly seeing that on Mastodon. Not supporting boosts and reblogs is like not supporting vowels.
\n\nBTW, welcome back to Micro.blog, @chaitanya ! I hope you enjoy it.
