@TerryHancock what kind of blog would you use, and what kind would you not use?

@evan I don't mind having bigoted co-tenants. People should be allowed to make fools of themselves publicly, so long as spambots are not present to magnify their message. I also don't mind not owning the domain, as long as it's a common or reputable domain e.g. github pages or vivaldi (which offers wordpress guest accounts gratis). The reason I'm not using the latter is because I dislike wordpress' wysiwyg interface. Standard Notes' "listed" is much cleaner. i'd also use smth like writefreely.

@evan

Well, I DID write for a Free Software blog at one point. I think I'd be more interested in posting about Free Culture, Media, and possibly Cultural/Political content now (especially since I don't really have my own platform for that now).

If it's a popular site, it's a way to get more audience on what I'm writing, so that would be a factor.

@evan I have in the past. Nowadays I don't think I could justify posting more than my own blog, which means they'd be lucky to get a post a year.

@evan No, but if it wasn't a huge commitment and something I had expertise in AND ran by cool people, then maybe.

@evan

For me, it depends on if I was writing articles on the WordPress blog or not.

@evan I assume the scenario where someone gave me access to their blog would arise from already having a mutual relationship and shared interests. Therefore my answer is: Yes, but I certainly wouldn’t want to make any strict commitments to pumping out posts like some content mill.
