i’m looking for a place/means/medium for texts that i write. content is essays on topics that i find worthy writing about with hints towars philosophy (i guess).
twenty years ago the right answer to my question would have been a (we-)blog - what’s the current day equivalent for such a venture?
optimally, a solution would neither be based on lock-ins, data collection/aggregation or other shady business and would be freely (e.g. in a web browser, no login/registration required) and easily accessible.
Modern equivalent to blogs would probably be vlogs (videos on tiktok or other platforms like that)
Blogs are still a thing, check out WordPress.org
Another option is publishing on a place like medium.com
None of the above are optimal regarding your concerns about data collection, etc.
To address that, you could just set up your own personal website, if you don’t mind learning how to do it
i already know how to create my own website - i’m just curious whether that’s (still) the best option
Regarding the concerns you listed, it’s the option that gives you the most control over content and access to it.
All the others are a trade off in exchange for them promoting you.
If you implement activitypub somehow it would be great. If you intend on allowing comments I’d love to be able to do it from an existing fedi acct.
