As everyone of you may have already noticed, my desire to say stuff and ideally get reactions to it far exceeds the amount of thoughts worth saying that I have. This usually leads to live-posting whatever insignificant events are happening to me at a particular moment. This is why I used to be very active on Twitter and why I am currently on Bluesky as they both offer short, near-instant posts that are easy to chain together.

But what I am noticing here is some kind of positive feedback loop.

"What's the point of having a more versatile posting medium if I have nothing to say?"

"What's the point of trying to formulate something more complex if the very medium I use for that makes it difficult?"

It is caused by the limits in the post length and/or the lack of a title and subtitles, and especially the inability to edit posts, and thus, it exists on every twitter-like, in groups in messengers, on Reddit which is a bit of an outlier format-wise... not here. And that will be difficult to replace.

Having just a little bit of common sense left, I know that, while I can technically achieve whatever post structure and complex formatting I want in my own blog, there is no chance that anyone will ever see it. Again, I rarely have anything to write longer than a tweet.
