I wonder how medium.com’s article discovery works these days, because it feels like.. it doesn’t? Wrote a piece and published it on Friday. Today, it has 3 views and 0 reads. And I’m supposed to have 1.5k “followers” there. Is that the normal experience there these days? Seems bit.. brutal? 😅
Oh, this is 💯 my problem, too: Cutting back by @MacPsych
Spreading myself thin with all the different social channels in the recent years and this year (despite all the Fediverse stuff) has probably been one of the worst. Mastodon, Threads, Bluesky, Micro.blog + handful of blogs on various platforms. It’s just too much. I’m strongly contemplating writing to a single blog in 2025, perhaps sharing those posts to Fediverse and be done with it. Tbh, not even sure about the sharing part. I mean, distribution is nice, but.. I really don’t want to keep bouncing between all those socials next year. I can’t seem keep myself active in one, let alone all of them. 😅
Oh how I hate those AI movie trailers that have infested YouTube with passion. Just saw another one, which I first though was a “real trailer” for an upcoming blockbuster. It’s beyond me how those don’t get taken down / sued by the movie studios. It’s one thing to make “fan art” and whole another to not even mention in the trailer description that this one’s generative AI made. All “just for the clicks/views”. 🤬
What a stunning Aurora Borealis week it was last week. One can never get tired of these views! 😍

If someone’s interested, I have a few record.club invites to share. First come, first serve 😁👋
Looks like only Mastodon cross-post went through. Bluesky and Threads “didn’t get the memo”. Let’s try again 🤔
Testing micro.blog cross-posting to Mastodon, Bluesky and Threads (don’t mind this message, will delete later). 😁
I’m a bit late to the party (here on this blog), but I just want to take a moment to congratulate @dave for the incredible milestone of blogging non-stop for the past 30 years! There are very few (if any!) bloggers who have been doing this for as long as that. Even the Wayback Machine doesn’t have records of those first years (as it was started in 1996 and Dave’s blog has been around from ‘94!) @kottke.org and @zeldman.com might come close!
So, congratulations are certainly in order! Hat tip to you, sir! 🥳
Switched my new finnish blog from Eleventy (& Netlify) to micro.blog just now. Surprisingly painless switch! Synergy ftw! 😁
Aaand the finnish version is live now too! - juhaliikala.fi/kahden-bl… 😁
