Ohne Facebook (et al.) ist das Fediverse nur eine Nische, zwar eine offene und dezentrale Nische, aber eben nur eine Nische.\n\n\n\nIch weine immer noch den Anf\u00e4ngen der Web 2.0 Zeit nach, in der Blogs und soziale Netzwerke sich erg\u00e4nzt und nicht untereinander konkurriert haben. Das bezieht sich aber nicht ausschlie\u00dflich auf Walled Gardens wie Facebook und Twitter, auch Netzwerke wie Diaspora, die im Grunde zwar dezentral aufgebaut sind, aber nie den Anspruch erhoben auch mit anderen Netzwerken zu \u201ef\u00f6derieren\u201c, waren bzw. sind das Problem.\n\n\n\nWas ich vor 12 Jahren \u00fcber Diaspora geschrieben habe, passt (glaube ich) immer noch sehr gut:\n\n\n\nWenn die gro\u00dfen Netzwerke wie Facebook, Twitter und Google+ sich nicht auf ein einheitliches Protokoll einigen, wird es wohl nichts mit der \u201edezentralen\u201c Idee!

For users aiming to host a comprehensive photo blog, navigating \u00b5blog's interface can prove challenging. Unlike WordPress, where adding media is straightforward with the \"Add Media\" button, \u00b5blog requires managing two browser tabs simultaneously\u2014one for editing and another for uploading. The upload page lacks search functionality, necessitating manual copying and pasting of HTML into the editor.</p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  I always think appreciation, likes, reactions, and follower count should be made available privately to the content owner.

Upon post publication, only a title, link, and thumbnail image, often minuscule in size, are displayed publicly.</p>\n<h3>Challenges with Customer Support</h3>\n<p>Customer support, unfortunately, can be slow, especially for a paid service like \u00b5blog. Despite having an active subscription expiring on April 4, 2024, I've faced ongoing difficulties with posting to the timeline. Despite reaching out multiple times to support for assistance, I'm still awaiting a permanent resolution.</p>\n<img src=\"https://islandinthenet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/microblog-invoice-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" />micro.blog annual invoice<img src=\"https://islandinthenet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/can-not-post-to-microblog-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" />micro.blog does not recognise that I have a subscription.<h3>Evaluating \u00b5blog's Social Dynamics</h3>\n<p>\u00b5blog user <a href=\"https://micro.blog/numericcitizen\">numericcitizen</a> recently penned a <a href=\"https://numericcitizen.me/a-proposal-for-bringing-social-indicators-to-microblog/\">response</a> advocating for incorporating Likes in a manner that benefits all users.</p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  While some users may opt to disable \"Likes\" on their timeline, others, like myself, find value in having this feature available.\n</p></blockquote>\n<h3>Community Dynamics and Platform Limitations</h3>\n<p>Another perspective on \u00b5blog's community dynamics is shared by <a href=\"https://phoneboy.com/2018/01/13/a-self-hosted-wordpress-blog-with-micro-blog\">PhoneBoy</a>, who highlights the platform's limitations in fostering diverse conversations and participants.</p>\n<p>\u00b5blog's simplicity is commendable, offering a clutter-free experience devoid of ads. However, this streamlined approach also translates into limitations, such as the absence of features like direct messaging, group chats, and advanced search functionalities.</p>\n<p>Discoverability remains a challenge due to \u00b5blog's design choices aimed at curbing abuse and harassment. The lack of hashtag support and topic searches hinders users' ability to find content and connect based on shared interests.</p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  The Micro.blog userbase seems actually pretty good at putting the effort into leaving real comments, but on some other sites (or if I had a blog that wasn\u2019t integrated into a social media platform like this), this lack can result in people making post after post that gets no apparent response, and feeling like they\u2019re shouting into the void. This is definitely something I\u2019ve experienced when I\u2019ve tried blogging on Dreamwidth? over the last couple of years. <a href=\"https://www.jayeless.net/2020/11/two-weeks-on-microblog.html\">Jayeless.net</a>\n</p></blockquote>\n<p>The platform's emphasis on content ownership within the IndieWeb community is evident, yet it grapples with balancing freedom of expression with community safety. The cautious approach to user directories and content curation has implications for visibility and collaboration.</p>\n<p>Despite these challenges, \u00b5blog's community continues to offer valuable insights and suggestions for improvement, reflecting a shared desire for a more inclusive and feature-rich platform experience.</p>\n<h3>Evaluating \u00b5blog</h3>\n<p>Reflecting on my journey with \u00b5blog, I appreciate its vision but find the execution somewhat constrained by an emphasis on preventing harassment, which at times hampers community growth and user interaction. Throughout this discussion, the concept of \"community\" has emerged repeatedly, highlighting the significance of shared connections and interactions that contribute to a sense of belonging\u2014an aspect that \u00b5blog could enhance.</p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  The diversity of participants and resulting conversations are somewhat limited and are likely to remain so. This might suit some people just fine, but I appreciate people of different races, creeds, colors, economic backgrounds, and even those with differing political opinions. The kind of people you might find on a more mainstream social media service or the right Mastodon instance.<a href=\"https://phoneboy.com/2018/01/13/a-self-hosted-wordpress-blog-with-micro-blog\">PhoneBoy </a><br /></p></blockquote>\n<p>In conclusion, there are several factors leading me to withhold a full recommendation for the current iteration of micro.blog. While acknowledging the challenges, it's worth noting that platform governance, akin to Twitter, rests with the owner. Despite this, I maintain a positive view of Manton's character, even if we haven't met in person. However, the platform's responsiveness to change requests could benefit from improvement.</p>\n<p>Wishing for a future where \u00b5blog strikes a better balance between fostering a safe environment and encouraging vibrant community engagement, I bid farewell.</p>",

Despite having an active subscription expiring on April 4, 2024, I've faced ongoing difficulties with posting to the timeline. Despite reaching out multiple times to support for assistance, I'm still awaiting a permanent resolution.\nmicro.blog annual invoicemicro.blog does not recognise that I have a subscription.Evaluating \u00b5blog's Social Dynamics\n\u00b5blog user numericcitizen recently penned a response advocating for incorporating Likes in a manner that benefits all users.\n\n  While some users may opt to disable \"Likes\" on their timeline, others, like myself, find value in having this feature available.\n\nCommunity Dynamics and Platform Limitations\nAnother perspective on \u00b5blog's community dynamics is shared by PhoneBoy, who highlights the platform's limitations in fostering diverse conversations and participants.\n\u00b5blog's simplicity is commendable, offering a clutter-free experience devoid of ads. However, this streamlined approach also translates into limitations, such as the absence of features like direct messaging, group chats, and advanced search functionalities.\nDiscoverability remains a challenge due to \u00b5blog's design choices aimed at curbing abuse and harassment. The lack of hashtag support and topic searches hinders users' ability to find content and connect based on shared interests.\n\n  The Micro.blog userbase seems actually pretty good at putting the effort into leaving real comments, but on some other sites (or if I had a blog that wasn\u2019t integrated into a social media platform like this), this lack can result in people making post after post that gets no apparent response, and feeling like they\u2019re shouting into the void. This is definitely something I\u2019ve experienced when I\u2019ve tried blogging on Dreamwidth? over the last couple of years. Jayeless.net\n\nThe platform's emphasis on content ownership within the IndieWeb community is evident, yet it grapples with balancing freedom of expression with community safety. The cautious approach to user directories and content curation has implications for visibility and collaboration.\nDespite these challenges, \u00b5blog's community continues to offer valuable insights and suggestions for improvement, reflecting a shared desire for a more inclusive and feature-rich platform experience.\nEvaluating \u00b5blog\nReflecting on my journey with \u00b5blog, I appreciate its vision but find the execution somewhat constrained by an emphasis on preventing harassment, which at times hampers community growth and user interaction. Throughout this discussion, the concept of \"community\" has emerged repeatedly, highlighting the significance of shared connections and interactions that contribute to a sense of belonging\u2014an aspect that \u00b5blog could enhance.\n\n  The diversity of participants and resulting conversations are somewhat limited and are likely to remain so. This might suit some people just fine, but I appreciate people of different races, creeds, colors, economic backgrounds, and even those with differing political opinions. The kind of people you might find on a more mainstream social media service or the right Mastodon instance.PhoneBoy \n\nIn conclusion, there are several factors leading me to withhold a full recommendation for the current iteration of micro.blog. While acknowledging the challenges, it's worth noting that platform governance, akin to Twitter, rests with the owner. Despite this, I maintain a positive view of Manton's character, even if we haven't met in person. However, the platform's responsiveness to change requests could benefit from improvement.\nWishing for a future where \u00b5blog strikes a better balance between fostering a safe environment and encouraging vibrant community engagement, I bid farewell."
