@molly0xfff Still doing it. This week's challenge, getting emoji to work on my classic rickety version of Wordpress. I was victorious!

@molly0xfff my first post:
>>Do it badly
But do it.
Make your new years resolution on Jan 5th? Sure. Better late than never. Is this the best platform? Who knows! The best camera is the one you have with you. Do I have anything to say? I don't see how that matters because nobody is reading this.
@molly0xfff I love blogging I use word press for it easiness
@molly0xfff I just admit I don’t have the discipline to do it in any sort of regular way and just push ahead to next year.. maybe 😅
@molly0xfff I really do like blogging and I’ve done it on a few occasions. I just can’t seem something I like to write about consistently. I’m hoping someday something clicks
@molly0xfff
You inspired me to put a little more work into mine today. I finally got easy-sftp-deploy configured properly for my astro site 😀
@molly0xfff @bagder nah I just rewrote my blog engine, writing posts is for losers (😭😭😭😭 I really should write more posts…)
@molly0xfff I'll restart soon, hopefully by around my birthday, if not the month thereafter (March).
@molly0xfff I decided to make one post, every week for 52 weeks in 2026. Does this count?

@molly0xfff @ozoned My co-worker and I are studying the idea of replacing WordPress with WriteFreely today
@molly0xfff Been blogging for 30 years now. Sometimes at the beginning of the year, more reliably at the end.
@molly0xfff and if you’re already a blogger and you’ve been thinking about starting a #PeerTube channel, this might be your sign to start converting some of those blog posts into video essays.
That way you can offer both text, audio, and video to people of all needs.
@molly0xfff It's the 6th of January. I have started and stopped blogging 7 times now.
@molly0xfff Blogging is the nerd's gym.
@molly0xfff I only blog when I'm trying to get a new job, I hope to never blog again
@molly0xfff Nâh. I should empty my blogs and remove all posts so that AI can't leach more.
Perhaps fill them with junk realities.
@molly0xfff guilty as charged!
@molly0xfff Are blogs popular again? I should probably start one. Although I can't afford my own site right now
yes!
i managed to post something (maybe ONE thing?) last year lmfao so i will try to keep up a little better this year 🤣
i have now also done ONE for this year 🥴

@molly0xfff but I don't know what to write. I have a blog that I use for exploring personal projects or curiosities I find, but in this period I'm not doing anything productive...
Any recommendations for platforms or how to create a blog? Been trying to start my own since last year, but I don't know where/how to start :(
@molly0xfff I started #blogging with paper #zines when needle printers were invented, had one of the first digital blogs, and can't stop it: https://steady.page/en/naturematchcuts/posts
We have hard times inmidst of #AISlop but #humanmade #blogs are the future! People will be hungry again for human-made stuff.
@molly0xfff I've posted two in the past two days. Written 5. :p
@molly0xfff I thought some get a jolt of motivation in November the month of mustaches and writing novels and blogs.
I've become so irregular from monthly to yearly. I need to get myself down quiet and take that time to just sit through a full length post creation. Although sometimes I am just keeping it locally as I am focusing on creativity than censoring.
To anyone else just starting. Use the flight mode. Get a full screen app like focuswriter or just a pen and notebook in a park. Express.
@molly0xfff I started blogging in 1997 and haven't stopped yet. 😀
@molly0xfff are people going back to tumblr or
@molly0xfff I meant to start blogging last year… maybe this year I actually will
@molly0xfff I feel seen.
@molly0xfff cries in *Impressumspflicht*
@molly0xfff I've been blogging since 2013. It's where all my longform posts goes. I love it.
@molly0xfff wait, isn't now the time of '25 in review' type of posts?
@molly0xfff Those LLMs need to be fed fresh content!
@molly0xfff blogging and embracing #posse :)
@molly0xfff I'm in the Internet for 27 years by this point and even as a child with more creativity I always failed in both web 1.0 website making and blogging
I need to learn to be creative and push projects dammit
@molly0xfff I feel seen but ok
@molly0xfff I think I'm going to start drawing, and then blog that. Ordered a stylus and everything.
