Forget Twitter Threads; Write a Blog Post Instead

Re:Forget Twitter Threads; Write a Blog Post Instead by jbhoot on Thursday March 06, 2025 @05:53AM (#43278654)

After I publish a blog post, I sit back and look at the published post. At that point, I feel a lasting moment of fulfillment. Whether or not I get views on that post doesn't matter. I write for this feeling of fulfillment.

I don't get that feeling after I put out a post on Bluesky.

This is an awesome attitude to have! I also don’t like this idea going around that unless your blog gets popular, builds your brand or makes you money, it’s pointless. Blogging can be so much more than for just shallow career-related reasons.

Yep. I like to post my learnings, learning processes, distillation of life experiences. My only criterion is "This feels like a good blog post".
