Hmm I was gonna suggest Mastodon. I always thought it allowed long-form writing similar to blog posts.

Didn't someone create this same thing a few weeks ago? ๐Ÿค”

For anyone who cares, you can get this same behavior of a normal line break by holding shift while pressing enter as well.

Ok you've peaked my curiosity.

but with large potential consequences.

What are some of the consequences you see?

AllSides is a good one too

Wow what a great community idea! As more product reviews are added, it would make Lemmy more indexable to search engines as well.

You can reply and interact on platforms from an RSS reader. All an RSS feed is is a list of links. When you click them, you go directly to the platform. When using on a mobile device, RSS readers will even open the app for you to reply or interact with posts.

The fediverse will never replace RSS feeds. They serve a totally different purpose.

That sort of aggregating would make more sense in an RSS reader. RSS feeds are exactly for that purpose.

But a platform trying to interop from an infinite number of unrelated platforms just seems odd.

Don't think this opinion is unpopular at all. It makes sense for platforms that are similar to interop.

Hypothetically like Youtube interop with Peertube (video platforms) or Instagram interop with Pixelfed (photos). Or Threads, Reddit and Lemmy (forums). And Mastodon and Twitter (sorry, but just making a point here ๐Ÿ˜)

But yeah, see no reason for interop between platforms with completely different purposes.

Damn. This needs to be a blog article and saved somewhere! No need to apologize. You've done a great job explaining a very technical topic in a simple and relatable way.

That level of feed curation will appeal more to the masses, yeah. Just no one has started an instance like that yet. Although you seem like the perfect person, based on your analysis and responses. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Bluesky is closer to what you're describing. The platform is more centralized and the feeds are more curated for the masses.
