Aaron Ross Powell ☸️ on Nostr: The end of Google Reader and the rise of social media combined to kill off blogging ...
The end of Google Reader and the rise of social media combined to kill off blogging as a thriving social community. Then newsletters arose to replace blogging as a personal, longer form platform. But email is a bad replacement for RSS-based readers because it's cluttered and email fatigue discourages frequent writing. I'm hopeful the #fediverse can bring back blogging, reduce reliance on short post social media, and give us the old RSS ecosystem, but with social engagement and discovery.
