Seems unlikely that we’ll end up with a single unified social web platform. I like Mastodon’s focus on communities. I like Bluesky’s thinking on distributed moderation. I like the IndieWeb’s principles of ownership. I like Nostr’s private messaging. How will we tie all of this together? Blogs.

There are far too many gems to highlight just one in Greg’s article, so my suggestion is to treat yourself and go read the whole thing right now.
It’s ironic — but perhaps no coincidence — that some of the most enjoyable rituals are those that completely eschew technology.
