what do i have to do to get everyone to start #blogging again instead of making threads?
@pixelpaperyarn I'm not clear on what you mean by #blogging vs. threads.
@pixelpaperyarn I've heard those called "Tweetstorms", or on Mastodon "tootstorms".
I've seen @dredmorbius use the #tootstorm hashtag. Maybe that's something to promote.
I've done a few here, but I don't think I tagged them. When I have a longer-form thought to post, I usually post it on my Hubzilla instance (https://hub.iseeamess.com/channel/woozle) and just link it from here.
...for the formatting features, if nothing else.
(Aside: wish more people would use Hubzilla.)
@woozle @pixelpaperyarn I'd been using that hashtag (#tootstorm) mostly so I could find my own longer-chain bits myself. The term's not mine.
I have been known to ... abuse ... the form a tad. I think 60-80 toots is about my max ;-)
@woozle i read a lot of really great threads on birbsite, stuff that someone has to break up into tiny chunks with choppy prose to fit their thoughts in. when they're actually larger thoughts that i would love to see as fully formed thoughts.
folks used to do that on blogs. i miss reading that way.
