Writing in the Open in 2025?

This is such a meta post, but it doesn’t matter. I'll write what I want. I'm reading through some of my posts from the past, and the only thing I gotta say is I'm glad I never deleted this stuff. For years, I believed blogging would be dead. What would replace it would be platforms. Unfortunately for my naive mind, those platforms were actually walled gardens. For example, all those posts archived on Twitter painting the internal thoughts of a user are now owned by some dude with strong opinions. The platform had a huge shift, and now that garden had its gates closed, so you'll need to sign in in order to read the stuff. I know, Blogger is a platform owned by a huge corporation, but at the very least, it’s pretty open. Sure, one day it could be closed off, but given blogging's limited popularity and Blogger's limited use case, I don’t see this turning into a closed-off environment. I'd like to try to more regularly post my thoughts on here. I started regularly writing in LogSeq, but sometimes I feel thoughts need to be public. So think of this as a declaration. I declare I will take some of my private writings from LogSeq, clean them up, and post it here. By the way, I'm on BlueSky(linser.bsky.social)! Not that anyone is reading this or asking...
