It was smart for Medium to embrace Mastodon.

It gets people talking about Medium again.

What comes next? Setting up a Masto-instance is easy.

Will Substack, who stole Medium's thunder, be next to embrace Mastoicism?

Maybe Mastodon will become WordPress? Just support Markdown and get rid of the character limit and Masto is almost there.

I spend a lot of time every day using Mastodon and use WordPress only when i'm testing for compatibility with WordPress. Mastodon is much closer to what I think a centralized blogging host should be.

I keep wondering how this will evolve.

Meanwhile I'm working every day on FeedLand. Quietly. 😄

One thing is for sure -- ActivityPub is complicated.

It would be a very hard job I imagine to make Medium an ActivityPub node.

I'm not sure ActivityPub gets you all that much, btw.

I'm still betting heavy on RSS, just enough syndication.

Just some random end-of-day thoughts.
