So much for Reddit ...
Motherfucking auto-roll video ads.

@dredmorbius so, what comes after reddit? :/
@syndikalista I don't know. Been thinking a lot about it though.
Reddit's principle advantaages have been good search (I caan find my stuff) and modestly decent community.
Conversation's never taken hold -- the conversation dynamic is broken. I don't own my own forum (90 days of inactivity, I think, and someone else can take it over. No export tool (though the API might afford that).
Image hosting is weak.
I'm thinking more about toolchain

@syndikalista There's way too much friction to my writing. Much of it comes from the browser, an Reddit sucks for long-term composition.
If I can move to a local authoring, management, and trackin of sstatus (draaft, submitted, repurposed, etc) things go better.
Vim, markdown, git. Possibly a local wiki engine I can manage stuff in. Looking at static blog eengines. Maybe gitlab.
I cannot self-host because reasons.
There's my Dreamwidth blog.
Multiple options. No one clear.

@dredmorbius I’ll host an Oddmuse instance for you in Switzerland, for free, if you’d like. Not sure what your reasons are for not self-hosting but if the main issue is a credit card requirement, that would be a way around it.
@kensanata Thanks. Offer is appreciated.
