      "value": "We discussed syndicating notes from your website to Twitter at yesterday\u2019s Homebrew Website Club in light of the upcoming Twitter ownership transfer, as a way to demonstrate existing POSSE technology and encourage more people to adopt IndieWeb approaches. I expressed that I struggle with *whether* I want to do this rather than *how*. What seems like it should be a simple step \u2014 posting to Twitter from my website \u2014 reveals itself as a complex decision rooted in how I want to present myself online.\n\nTl;dr: having one place to host all my content is simplest, but means being ok with uniting all aspects of my identity.\n\n\nWhat I\u2019m doing now Dividing my writing across four platforms\nI consider each platform to have a distinct purpose, so I silo where information belongs in my mind,* even when I own the silos.\n\n* I also have this struggle with notebooks, and can\u2019t write the wrong info in the wrong notebook. It\u2019s a problem \ud83d\ude02\nThe platforms where I post now and their purpose\nI started my blog Cascadia Inspired in 2011 as a way to help me adopt the Pacific Northwest as my home, and over the years my focus has shifted to creative work. My blog hosts long-form articles, photo collections, and personal accountability \u2014 in short, anything about making things.\n articles about creative work personal accountability nature photos and excursions / trip reports\nIn 2020, I transformed tracydurnell.com from a dead portfolio website to a digital garden, a place to save information and start to think about it, without having high expectations of myself for producing high quality writing or original insights. My intention for this site, up to this point, has been to track and process my intake.\n bookmarks and replies personal data, like tracking my reading and listening\nWanting to reduce my use of Instagram and Twitter, I joined micro.blog in 2021. I use the microblogging service to post (mostly boring) things from my daily life. What I post on my micro blog is personal, rooted in connection.\n day-to-day fluff (e.g. what I baked)\nAnd I still have my Twitter account, which I created in 2014 and have used sporadically since, finding it addictive. I knew it was a problem when I started composing tweet commentary in my head as I walked around during the day. Periodically, I go through my past tweets and purge most, granting myself a clean slate from past opinions. I have to resist falling back into the habit of commentary, which I in particular needed to be careful of when I worked in local government. I hold onto this silo because I get very little interaction on my blog or this website, so Twitter remains in my communication stack for promotion.\n anything I want people to actually see (e.g. IndieWeb events, friends\u2019 accomplishments, personal promotion) social and political commentary, when I can\u2019t restrain myself \ud83d\ude0e(preferably in my drafts folder here) What writing belongs where? The boundaries blur as I write more online\u2026and add platforms\nNow that I have more channels, I\u2019m struggling with where exactly other content I want to make should live:\n Personal accountability posts (like quarterly reviews) currently go on my blog, with the reasoning being that it\u2019s about creative work and work-life balance\u2026but it\u2019s also very personal information, so maybe it makes sense to live here, where my other \u201ccurrently doing\u201d info lives? As I experimented with weeknotes this fall, I also posted those on my blog. I\u2019ve transferred my listening reports and reading reports here from my blog, where I used to post them before this incarnation of tracydurnell.com. I\u2019ve been tracking listening and reading here, so it made sense to bring over the analysis of that too. Sometimes I want to post personal posts about my life that don\u2019t quite fit on my blog. I have tried posting those on micro.blog, but it doesn\u2019t feel quite right. It also doesn\u2019t necessarily feel right to mix them in with my feed of intake, here. How long need commentary be to \u201ccount\u201d as a blog post? Should some articles I post here instead live on my blog, if they are related to creativity or nature? I recently started to add recipes to this website, which makes sense as basically another reference. But I\u2019ve been thinking about developing more pages about specific topics that would be more original content \u2014 reference for other people, but thinking for me. Should those live on my blog? How about a collection of photos? I\u2019ve thus far limited Cascadia Inspired to PNW nature content, so I haven\u2019t had a place to post non-nature shots or from outside the northwest \u2014 but photography clearly falls into the blog wheelhouse of \u201cthings I made.\u201d What is the best way to present my writing online?\nAs I juggle this increasing number of decisions, and want to add more varieties of content, it\u2019s raising bigger questions, namely:\n\nShould all of my writing and information live in one spot? I\u2019ve been writing at Cascadia Inspired for ten years*, so I don\u2019t want to erase that history. Yet this site bears my name. Does it make sense that the website under my name \u2014 likely the first impression people get about me \u2014 hosts my arguably shittiest work, while my highest quality work is off on another site? \ud83e\udd14 *Dramatic music plays*\n\n* And apparently I posted about my ten year blogiversary on Twitter but not on my website \ud83e\udd26\u200d\u2640\ufe0f\nAm I comfortable having my full identity represented in one place?\nIt comes down to identity: I have faceted elements of my online identity onto different platforms, but the boundaries are mutable. \n\nIf you only read my micro.blog, you\u2019d think all I care about is reading and baking. My Twitter account is mixed content-wise, but overall with the intent of demonstrating I\u2019m thoughtful and enthusiastic. My blog presents a clearer picture of my interests and personality since it hosts my accountability posts, but paints me perhaps more philosophical and reflective. And this digital garden is the most unfiltered of my writing, covering the broadest range of my interests, but in slapdash quality.\n\nHaving only one platform would certainly make the decision-making process about where to post things easier. But even here on tracydurnell.com, I segment info by having a separate RSS feed for my read posts, which I exclude from my main digital garden RSS feed \u2014 in a way, filtering what identity is shared by different feeds.\nThe questions I need to answer before POSSEing my tweets Do I want to post the kinds of things I\u2019d post to Twitter here on my digital garden, or on my blog? Self-promotion might make sense to post from my blog, and promotion of others or events from here. Is the tone similar enough, or would it be jarring? Could it even be beneficial to mix in some more professional tone posts here? Would having some posts of a different tone impact my comfort in continuing to write freely and naturally on this site? Can I handle writing (briefly) about things I make here and not on my blog?\n Do I want to expand this site beyond \u2018intake\u2019? Is it even expanding what I post here, considering I write enough commentary that it\u2019s hard to say I\u2019m not \u2018making\u2019 anything here \ud83d\ude09 Can adding tweets here also make me feel more comfortable adding the other things I want to add, like photos?  Is it too weird to post a note about an article on the same website? Tantek pointed out this could be addressed by excluding notes from the main feed, so readers could subscribe to notes separately.  Would I feel comfortable with my daily life posts from micro.blog also appearing on Twitter?\u00a0Maybe. I use a chattier voice on micro.blog and try to be somewhat more professional on Twitter. It feels more vulnerable to share real life things to the broad and sometimes hostile audience of Twitter.\n Generally, am I also comfortable expanding the range of what I share on Twitter? Posting more would probably be beneficial, but also means engaging with the site more often, which is dangerous to me.  How about posting what I would post on Twitter on micro.blog and syndicating from there? Yeah, this I\u2019d be ok with. Are there things that I post to Twitter that I would not want to lose? Generally no, though perhaps my framing when I share articles adds value \u2014 an editor\u2019s note, if you will.\nIn thinking all this through, my instinctive balking at combining my writing streams may be more resistance to change than reasoned refusal \u2014 there are a number of potential benefits I\u2019ve raised in this exploration. Instead, the problem is more in feeling comfortable freely expressing myself everywhere I am online, and letting go of my \u2018work voice.\u2019 As an anxious person who struggles with caring too much about what others think of me, this is rooted in fear of rejection. How much do these platform personas benefit me, and how much do they hold me back?\n\nAlso posted on IndieNews",

        "Twitter is the only thing that\u2019s ever made me feel addicted. The combination is my catnip: learning interesting things, seeing pretty art, following live events as they unfold (especially ones that seem poorly covered by the news), venting about politics, and pumping up my emotions.\nI fought back against my Twitter addiction by hard blocking the domain, which worked reasonably well for several years. Except I wasn\u2019t really free of it, because I managed a Twitter account for work. So I was still on Twitter multiple days a week, and writing tweets. Even when I got some colleagues to pitch in shifts on managing Facebook, I was always solely responsible for Twitter.

For as much as I learn about ableism, I rage about injustices out of my control.\nAnd a lot of what I learn from Twitter *feels* important, but instead feeds a cycle of despair and disempowerment. Book industry updates. News about Iran and Ukraine and Russia. Political decisions and rulings. Book bans. Shootings.

        "Liked What are your [#indieweb] dreams for the web? by Sara Jak\u0161a (sarajaksa.eu)\n\nI remember on the university, when we were told all the time, to make sure to never post anything compromising on the internet. Compromising was meant as anything that any employer in the future could use against you.\nSome of the obvious ones were pictures of taking drugs or pictures of partying and excessive drinking. But if you listened carefully, they also warned about posting anything, they would not agree with. So I guess no anti-capitalistic posts? Or long art retreats? Or posts about alternative living situations?\nOn the end, what they wanted it for us to control our online image.\nI mean, I still have some traces of this. Will people judge me if I squeal about my favourite manga, anime or books? Can I post some badly research historical notes for myself? Can I rant about my personal problems?\n\nLove Sara\u2019s point here about considering what is compromising and especially from whose perspective \u2014 as a recovering perfectionist and an oddball I still struggle with this. Will I turn off potential clients by ranting about AI or climate change or abortion on my personal website? Can I speak politically, safely? Will I not be taken seriously for writing reviews of romance novels and proudly displaying their covers on my reading page? I haven\u2019t yet posted my consulting website on LinkedIn because I\u2019m embarrassed by its simplicity \u2014 even though I intentionally made the one-page website as a starter because something would be better than nothing \u2014 will I hurt my professional reputation as a designer by sharing a plain website?\nPutting things in writing where anyone can see them carries an element of risk in so many domains. There are some topics I simply won\u2019t allow myself to post about for safety reasons, but otherwise am pretty opinionated and wide ranging in this blog. Bit by bit, I\u2019ve been incorporating and consolidating more of my identity onto this website. It\u2019s in part a rejection of packaging myself into a personal brand, of condensing my interests to a \u201ccoherent\u201d palette, of prioritizing others\u2019 ability to categorize me over my own self-expression.\n\nWhich is why for me, it is 100-times easier to comment on a fanfiction story, then it is on the blog post. Also, it is not at all weird to go through all the stories a certain person had written and comment on their all. Going through the person\u2019s blog posts? That actually feels weird.\n\n\ud83d\ude02 I\u2019m glad I\u2019m not the only one who isn\u2019t 100% sure on modern blog commenting etiquette, and who feels weird sometimes reading others\u2019 blog archives. I still carry latent worries about making a social faux pas and vulnerability from being a kid who didn\u2019t fit in and didn\u2019t read social cues well. (I\u2019m glad I can now recognize these patterns in myself but wish it wasn\u2019t quite so much work to reroute those synaptic pathways!)\nI still haven\u2019t posted my full blogroll, omitting anyone\u2019s site who feels like just another normal person who I haven\u2019t met and talked with multiple times \u2014 I feel awkward to be seen following strangers\u2019 blogs, even though I\u2019m doing the same thing and writing in public \ud83d\ude05\ud83e\udd37\u200d\u2640\ufe0f There are 89 RSS feeds in my \u201cpeople\u201d folder, but I\u2019ve probably only included a handful on my blogroll. (And that\u2019s ignoring everyone I follow on micro.blog, since I read them on site not in RSS.)\nSocial media sets the expectation that you\u2019re meant to be following people, and for others to follow you, though each platform has different norms; it felt weird to follow randos who weren\u2019t essentially \u201cbusinesses\u201d on FB and Instagram, but practically expected on Twitter. I\u2019m curious how others feel about the norms of social commentary and following on the IndieWeb? Even this post is a bit awkward from a post kind perspective, because I\u2019m not really replying to Sara, but I\u2019m also not not? I\u2019ve settled on posting this as a like because I feel a reply post ought to be direct when it\u2019s to another personal website."
