Screenshot teaser for something I’ve been working on over the holidays, for launch next year. I think this could be a big deal. Can’t share the details yet! Perfectly fits with the Micro.blog and IndieWeb principle of pluralism: multiple protocols, platforms, anything that makes the open web better.

A few months ago I turned off fediverse publishing for my blog. Some of my posts still trickle out to the fediverse, via conversations, which is fine. I haven’t missed it. I still get replies on Micro.blog and from Bluesky. I’m going to turn the fediverse back on and see how things are in 2026. 👋

I’ve been testing some new features with Ghost. I can see the appeal of it, it’s robust and beautiful, but personally I could never use Ghost for my own blog. I would feel trapped in its design. Trying to articulate part of this, I wrote a new help page: Why Micro.blog uses Markdown.

Following on my post about the fediverse for next year, I’m going to be doing some work to clean out never-used or spammy accounts in Micro.blog. Micro.blog is currently 6th most popular fediverse software for total users, but will fall off after more housekeeping.
