Fediverse

Blogs are already “social” by nature (comments)

Most Blogs require you to create an account and login to your specific blog. I ain't doin that. But if it appears in my feed on my account that I control, I might throw in my $0.02, which will improve engagement on your blog.

In practice, ActivityPub’s distributive nature replicates content across a multitude of servers (every server where someone follows the blog), which, while not catastrophic here, is at least inefficient.

I mean, that's kinda the point though, also. Any federated product will do the same.

Given that — and the fact that few people follow and almost nobody interacts via ActivityPub — I’ve been considering removing Manual from the fediverse for several months.

I mean, that's fair, but also, what is it costing you to keep it? You're greatly improving visibility of your blog.
