A response to this post by kev.

@kev I’ve been chewing this over for about 15 years.

The throwaway, low friction immediacy, and non-permanence of a microblogging stream and how that lends itself to random interaction is where I’ve always found value.

This enjoyment I have of microblogging means that the idea of a tumblelog (to use a very classic term) gets quite squeezed out in-between a blog and a microblog

I’ve experimented with a hosted tumblelog / fediverse crossover on this account and whilst I like it, I’m hitting that same squeeze.
