A New Old Way of Using the Internet

I think we can all agree that current social media on the internet is a disaster. Being tapped in to every transient thought that crosses the minds of our fellow citizens is not only maddening but also corrosive to the fabric of our society.

Blogs are of course still around. But blogs lack a lot of the characteristics that give social media platforms appeal. Ease of use, interactivity with others, easily discoverable, etc. I wanted a way to publish a blog but retain some of these desirable characteristics of social media without succumbing to corporate algorithmic control.
