I’m a lazy dev and want to get ahead of this, where should I post my updates?
Back in ye olden days you’d have your own website, a blog, or maybe a forum. It was indexable on Google and anyone could see and interact with your updates. If not for that there’s always steam.
On whatever platform(s) you sell your games. The key is not expecting someone to sign up for a different service for your updates.
Or just have an open forum/place where you don't need an account to get into some walled off bullshit.
Sure. But the costs for implementing such a thing are certainly above simply using the tools on the platform on which the dev has decided to release their work. If they disagree, don't release it there.
This idea that the consumer should do something additional besides giving you money is a nonstarter.
Github (and alternatives), Fediverse, Reddit, Matrix
Maybe a blog like homepage powered by Cloudflare or Github
Do not use Reddit, it's too ban happy
So what if you get banned? The person responsible should (IMO) create a dedicated account for that anyway.
I'd post as long as possible and if banned, I'd create an appropiate information on any other communication channel.
Email group
Who indexes that?
Can I view it on archive.org?
There are plenty of mailing lists with web-based archives, like lkml for the Linux kernel. Find a mailing list host you like and go to town.
rss?
...bluesky?
