What is the crowd's opinion of Micro.blog?

From 3.5 billion comments

I use Vero for sharing. Any short and long-form posting, I use micro.blog. OpenSocial just started in beta, but it is a bit cluttered right now -- for doing everything at a single go.

There is, of course, Mastodon.

As you can probably guess, I favour the open web, but fair ask!
I don't believe you can include images here, but here's the text:
"Trying to use Micropub to PESOS using RSS feeds into IFTTT webhooks. Trying to adapt @chrisaldrich Wordpress ex but having trouble reaching Micro.Blog servers. Using url which is listed in my site header: & the Micro.blog app token as the “access token”. Any ideas @manton ?"

Hope good folks in the Reddit silo can help a man trying get better with open web tools!

This seems to be something that is affecting a lot of apps, so hopefully Apple will address it.

I experienced it myself yesterday with my Micro.blog account. The admin pointed me to this page: https://whatsmychaincert.com/?dejus.com

Yes, I am on Catalina. I see zsh appearing as the default. I'll start there.

Regarding the script. The URL scheme for Micro.blog is

microblog://post?text=<message>

So do you know where that would fit in? How I get the input text to the message part of that scheme? I have tried something and got an error.

I hope that the dishes are going well! :)

This month is full of more content creation and refactoring a couple of projects using SwiftUI so that I can spend more time working with it before it all changes again at WWDC :)

I also have plans to start looking at a macOS / iOS micro.blog client app for my own needs. Then maybe if it ends up good or useful enough, sharing with the World.

I think Twitter got a little less awful when the character limit got bumped up from 140 to 280.

https://micro.blog/ disallowed (disallows?) images in replies. Bad for technical discussions of visual things, but it prevents an avalanche of reaction gifs showing up in replies.

For better or worse, the best defense against bad discussions is probably gatekeeping, whether formal or informal.

Might I suggest micro.blog? It’s a paid service, which keeps out ill doers, and does just that, maintain a good community spirit. I don’t know about killing IG. Even Facebook's predecessor, MySpace, is still around, though I think not very popular anymore. Not that popularity is a good thing, per se, as demonstrated by Facebook and its apps.
