I'm barely better than meemaw when it comes to tech literacy, what's the best platform for stuff like that? Is Medium bad? I've installed a Linux distro before but basically just want to rant and take pictures of my cats clueless

Medium is also "bad" but it does put your posts out into an algorithm. Kiiiind of. Everyone ends up deleting them. I just use long Mastodon/forks posts (I make a lot of accounts on every activitypub server tbqh just for gimmicks and things) but 5,000 is not a lot of characters so I also link to Firefish Pages. Easy to make server with 50,000 for personal use at least which is a bit better for longform.

I think the best option on ActivityPub is https://writefreely.org/ you can also generally find a way to seamlessly retweet things like Lemmy linkposts or Writefreely blogs on Mastodon/Firefish whatever fork

Not very technically savvy at all over here it's just pretty online

They're all going to make you repost them somewhere else anyways. Once you break into AcitivityPub posting it's very good, just pretty hard to dodge the whole Ukraine net, so it's not bad itself. But that's not even what I'm saying, you can always post from Writefreely or Lemmy back to Reddit or Twitter or whatever and it ensures your real post won't be deleted. You keep control of part of your data on something self hosted or friend hosted on a cloud service.

I found Substack's editor impossible to paste into BTW and had other technical issues. But Medium and Substack do kiiind of offer some social media opportunities themselves. But they mostly promote dumb crap and Taibbi respectively

Listen fat, I told Al Gore how to invent GeoCities, alright? Sorry, I talk too much, I should go now

I have been bombarding you with my favorite open source projects bc you vaguely intimated that you could pursue further investigative writing projects I'm pretty sure I'm the one talking too much, Local Oaf. I am oafing.

(I was just doin' a goof, sorry lol. I really appreciate all the recommendations.)

I really like Firefish Pages because they have sexy embeds for Mastodon and its forks' posts and Writefreely as well haha, because it is a Mastodon fork. So I can spam a bunch of tweets over a months and then cite them all in a Page.
