one more cute disaster… it’s hard here in paradise
i am imagining, someday, that the website league is populated by a lot of people who just have straight-up blogs.
it would be entirely doable. fediverse software with no timeline and long character limits. good design, few or one users per instance. it's a blog but people can share it, and you see their replies as comments
sounds like writefreely i think?
edit: not sure if the reply bit works actually. it's planned, but the last demo they have doesn't show it
edit 2: going off this issue, nope
This is what I’d eventually like to get working with my site. Need ti figure out what’s actually out there as far as generic activitypub libraries
It's not at all trivial to set up for a lot of sites, but the Indie Web protocols https://indieweb.org/Getting_Started come fairly close to completely distributed social networking, though at the obvious expense that everybody needs a persistent domain name.
Owning your own domain isn't particularly important though. A subdomain is fine, and also a subdirectory on a parent domain such as tilde.club is also usable (although some tools do unfortunately assume one domain per user, but the protocols as a whole are built around the identity URL being the only important thing).
