Why I'm leaving Micro.blog
This fairly closely aligns with why I am having so much trouble using micro.blog, a service I have been paying for since the Kickstarter. Using it just doesn't align with my read of the idea of owning my own words (I mean, I guess content is the right term but it has such a gross meaning in our degraded, hustle-ised culture). When I think about ownership, I think of having control of it. But obviously when I put those words on someone else's service, I have ceded control. Sure, Manton seems like a nice guy. So does @shlee@aus.social. Nevertheless, I am giving them a bit of me every time I post to their databases.
