@davew Have you heard about blogging?

@davew So Textcasting is:
1. Rich text of the kind that can be generated by e.g. Markdown (presumably rendered as HTML),
2. Of arbitrary length (author decides), optionally with titles,
3. Editable after the fact,
4. Optionally with enclosures (referenced attachments),
5. Distributed to subscribers, presumably via RSS.I feel like this might be something you already helped invent and popularise! Textcasting is... blogging!
I'm all in favour of more people doing it, of course, and if calling it "textcasting" makes that happen, that's cool. But I'm not sure this is actually something new...

It’s not that trivial. The point is we’re using systems like mastodon that omit most of those features, and blogging is missing the good features of twitterlike systems, like masto, Bluesky etc.
You can of course use RSS, but there are other useful transports like websockets.

Yes, of course. I am the OG blogger.

Btw all the people who say textcasting is just blogging, you can apologize after admitting you didn’t read the post. 😀
“We can do better than Twitter, Bluesky and Mastodon, by taking the same approach we took with audio in podcasting, with text.”
I don’t see anything about blogging there do you?

This is why you think this is "just" about blogging.
Blogging started before twitter put severe limits on what parts of writing you could use when writing on the web.
That was 19 years ago!
So if you want to trivialize my manifesto, you could say all i want is social media to put back the features twitter took away.
And there's progress --

Kind of looks like a blog post, but look at where it is. That's thanks to the work Automattic is doing with ActivityPub.

@davew Dave, I believe part of what you’d like to see is a “Show more…” link/button that allows you to expand and collapse your clients view of a post so you can read long posts in line? Some client apps are doing that today, which is really nice.
I wish Mastodon would support Markdown.

i don't care how they deal with it, but yes, Show More is one way.
we do it differently in FeedLand, just click in the text and it shows you all of it. why make the reader aim at anything in particular.
we initially had something like Show More, but this was easier and totally intuitive it turns out.

@yumenaut @pondolo Secondo me per alcuni non è nemmeno quello. Ci sono persone che non hanno mai vissuto l'Internet degli anni precedenti al 2010. Per loro, Internet è sempre stato così.

@yumenaut @pondolo Per aver detto che volevo ridurre l'uso di WhatsApp e che volevo riprendere a scrivere e-mail, una mia amica credeva che mi avessero hackerato il telefono. Altrimenti perché chiedere di scriversi per e-mail? Logico, no? :)

@pondolo @enzoa24 Sì, quando non ti perculano additandoti come strano 😂 (storia vera, è successo a me per aver fatto presente che esistono motori di ricerca alternativi a Google o che volontariamente non compro su Amazon)

@blemish e adesso non riesco a non pensare a

spoiler: it was the *wrong* cat litter
spero che da voi comprino quella giusta :)

alcune persone credono che ci sia solo "il mercato", le multinazionali con le "loro" regole.
Essere consapevoli che vi sono altre opzioni e altre opportunità ; farlo presente se possibile negli ambiti lavorativi o privati...
poi si è liberi di scegliere.
