Somewhere else in here there was a long thread about how getting engagement on Micro Blog was waaaaay harder than on the Social Platforms. Take this one for example - this is the first comment on this post - and it is me!

When I posted this same link into a small private group I am part of the resultant conversation was one of the longer ones - and as often happens, not always about the topic in hand. This a group that doesn’t even talk about systems.

Then today I saw this over on BlueSky.

Pretty sure Anil would never have seen the comment over here - and of course - even if he did, he wouldn’t be able to just send a like 😳 .. and all that is ok IMHO

We have to separate out The 'Source' from the 'Distribution' .. MicroBlog is superb for offering me a wonderful place to store everything and be my source. It also does a great job in also allowing me to distribute my stuff to any and all places (within reason) thatI might want to use as 'distribution'.

They are different. We shouldn’t forget that.
