And how do you make your static blog social? No Mastodon and other decentralized networks are the real alternative to Twitter,Facebook, Reddit and co.

You can't really. That's the price you pay for running your own stuff.

You can fake it a bit with widgets or injected comments, but ultimately that's a pretty pale imitation of the social experience.

The upside, though, is that you get to keep all of your content forever, and you get to display it the way you want.
