Google making things difficult

friendica (DFRN) - Link to source

I'm still generally unclear the use case for me with regard to Friendica and many other federated systems. I am really enjoying my Mastodon account, and find it about enough to replace Twitter and Facebook for most things.

There are times when I would like to have a longer, more bloggy size post limit. I've looked into options for retaining some old Facebook content with static sites (Hugo, etc), but when editing my timelines tldown, I find that much of the content is rage about some current news item or another.

I mean, I let go of most of the Twitter contents (65000 tweets if I remember right) with barely a look. Some of the most important things in the years Before Elon were in the interactions, the connections with other people. Those aren't as easy to hold on to as a simple post.

With the advent of AI sucking in all human content, maybe an expiring social media is the real answer

I have a personal blog since 2007 but I find Friendica to be a really good way of kinda replacing my blog. Get used to the formatting when you make long post and you'll really enjoy it. You can do some basic text formatting, insert inline media, links to text, add titles to your posts and even add the posts into folders/categories.

Yeah, I imported a bunch of my really-really-old blog entries into Facebook in the early days, and I've looking for a way to keep some of them online without Facebook. I think I might back-date some of those here.
