This is an only slightly exaggerated story that I see play out again and again from customers:
- “Micro.blog looks like a good idea. I’m sick of social media and want to blog more.”
- Blog, blog, blog, microblog, microblog, reply, blog.
- “Not getting enough engagement. Let’s try Mastodon or Threads or Bluesky.”
Two years later.:
- “Just realized I haven’t blogged in forever. Do I have anything to show for the years of typing into text boxes online?”
- Re-joins Micro.blog.
We’re here when you’re ready. 🤪
I’m making light of it, but this does actually happen, and it points to how misunderstood Micro.blog is. The point is not to replace Twitter, but to have a space that is rooted in the open web, with just the right balance between blogging at your own domain name and being social with others. Everything we do is to encourage both microblogging and long-form writing to be interwoven, so you can move between different formats without losing the good parts about having your own blog.
It is not for everyone. That’s fine! But I’m confident there are many people who want this. Micro.blog is still the only platform of its kind.
