(fallen london stamps by continuing to bounce internally between "there's no point in having a Personal Website Blog when we have social media" and "social media sucks let's go make a Personal Website Blog"
interestingly, some of the aversion that people in here have to a Personal Website Blog is... the feeling of being put on display? because when it's a personal website instead of social media, you are by default front and center by virtue of owning the site and being the only person(s) on the site. and there's something extra vulnerable and personal about a blog, something that you're implicitly expected to add to on an ongoing basis, as opposed to a webpage which you fill out and decorate but can declare done whenever.
meanwhile if you're not an Influencer, if you're not making an effort to be seen, social media can provide a refreshing kind of anonymity, the sort where you can make an account and just post to it whenever and no one will ever find you unless they take several wrong turns, and even then they're more likely to turn around and move to someone who's sparklier and more interesting unless you're their specific kind of person.
but also, it has been tremendous fun having a playground that's Just Our Own and is harder to have people intrude on or yank away or so forth. just our own territory! and the chances of someone happening upon your Personal Website Blog are even more remote than someone happening across you on social media, so.
