this will change soon probably – just giving some basic info in order to connect it to mastodon
Sooo i've been playing with this platform for a bit because it's open source, minimal and pretty easy to figure out. It's compatible with fediverse, too, so since I registered on antinetzwerk.de/@lollo-nero I might as well use this as a public outlet for longer thoughts or even blogposts I want to publish generally. This is not going to be much ordered or tagged, just a kind of public notebook. The platform isn't made for much more anymays, but I might pin some important/good stuff maybe. For the moment, I'll just structure content via tags like this (you can click on it to see other content where the tags are used on this site:
#post – a blogpost kind of thing, it's been thought out and read over at least by myself.
#note – just a more or less spontaneous unfinished thought, too precious to be lost on the regular social media feed, to unfinished to give it more relevance
#info – similar as the note but I will use this especially to inform, like linking to cool stuff
E.g.: If you see a #post you want to publish via your outlet, you can always ask (hello @schwarzerpfeil@antinetzwerk.de @schwarzlicht@masthead.social ^^). There will be some kind of blog or maaaaybe even “digital garden”-themed site where I can do blogging and noteposting in a more transparent and sustainable fashion, so this will pretty much reduce to an extension of my mastodon and twitter timeline for longer thoughts (that I'll be able to pull back to my drafts or change whenever I want, hehe), or vanish, who knows :).
If you want to check the platform out, there's more instances listed on writefreely.org. My theme is a bit modified from here and you'll be able to find others, too, the background is from transparenttextures.com. You will need to learn to write basic markdown (well you can simply have this open on the next tab for your first posts), though, which I would generally recommend if you plan on publishing stuff to the internet. If you've ever styled your whatsapp messages, you'll be able to do it! :D Also, it can serve as a good intro to css when you try styling your blog with the default css option. The plain version looks sleek already I guess tho', so whatever.
