okay, so, tumblr may-or-may-not be on the down and out. except, tumblr is my Main Site, my oldest social media at over 10 years old, the place where my main domain is docked, the place where all my posts go, all dressed up with my own custom html/css theme. suffice to say, tumblr is my home page.
when twitter went down, all my friends turned into digital nomads, wandering the net for a new home. we found several, but could not agree on any of them. some of us stubbornly stay in one place; others of us copy all our posts, even to sites we don't like. we all keep up somehow, but it sucks.
every site will die. this is the reality. whether they get bought, eclipsed, abandoned – no empire lives forever. even protocols like activitypub or atproto become deprecated, replaced, reimagined.
the history lost in its wake is priceless and irreplaceable; my memory is not what it used to be.
and self-hosting? that costs time and money. the whole appeal of social media is that it doesn't. self-hosting also costs discoverability and connectivity; the whole appeal of social media is that it has this in spades. you can't just abandon social media without becoming a digital hermit.
you might feel differently about these things – but these are my hangups, my struggles with the social media landscape as it exists.
long story short: i don't know what to do with my tumblr right now, but i've got some wild ideas for what to do with skysometric.co. we'll see what i can cook up.
