interesting, thanks for the info, i didnt know that.
also idk why but the url you linked to goes to an empty page for me, but i found what i assume is the same page here: https://joinfediverse.wiki/index.php?title=What_is_Calckey
not to ramble but it might be more appropriate to call Calckey and its siblings a blogging software then, ya? excepting where individual instance admins limit the character limit to smaller limits. altho idk if there's any broadly accepted rule of thumb necessarily at what the cutoff between micro and full blogging is, but for me 3,000 characters sounds more like proper blogging so ill probably start calling it blogging instead of micro moving forward
edit: interestingly the link i pasted doesnt work for me when i click it either, idk what's happening there lol
Yeah 3000 characters is quite a bit so calling them blogs or even mini blogs rather than micro blogs seems more appropriate IMO too.
Micro blogs don't interest me there's not enough room to properly say something but small form blogs might interest me.
Not a clue what's up with the links clicking both leads me to wiki pages with no text. That seems like a weird bug on their part for sure.
ya, im with you there. i had a twitter account but it was mostly to follow friends and internet celebrities. i created a mastodon account when elon did elon things but my friends didnt join mastodon and while many of the internet celebrities i follow did create mastodon accounts, i dont have much interest in social media broadly so i dont engage much there without friends. im mostly online for to find funny memes. i feel i dont have much of interest to post so it's hard to find ways to engage outside of liking and voting stuff. i am much more interested in blogging tho, as at least sometimes ill want to talk at length about something but not have the room to do it on most existing platforms. i use tumblr currently to that end but id love if the fediverse had a blogging platform.
i did join the hajkey instance here though, mostly out of curiosity as i had wanted to check out calckey for a while and the blahaj instances seem like a good fit for me. but as you can see i have a tendency to ramble and im not sure even 3,000 characters is enough for me! lol
i did hear a while ago that tumblr was thinking of federating but im not sure if anything came of that
