@jasonmcfadden Microblogging is fantastic, and I've been a fan of it since I realized it's worth on Tumblr. I've tried, unsuccessfully, to merge the Micro and the Blogging for many years - because though I've used Tumblr for a decade or so, it's really not the platform I want to stay on.
I love the idea that Mb meshes both long for, short form and the Fediverse all together, as you said. There's a LOT of value in what Mb does, I'm just not sure how you and I can yell it from the Net rooftops enough for bloggers more set in the WordPress ways to take notice.
I've yet to write my post, but yours is great! Keep on blogging!
