I decided to give Micro.blog premium a go. I’ve been on the regular tier for a while, enjoying what the platform and community has to offer. After playing around with a FOSS read-it-later app for Android and not getting what I wanted out of it, I figured (with the help of my partner, who saves me from my own complications on a daily basis) that it just makes sense.

Not only the premium version comes with a place to store and read articles, I can also integrate them into the post I’m going to write about these articles anyway. Meanwhile, I get the option to create newsletters and have a place for podcasts if I ever go that route (why not, I already tried my hand at recording videos). With the premium version, I can even upload short video clips, which will be perfect with the pictures I already take.

But the best indication that I’m doing the right thing is the positive feeling I get when I blog on MB. It always feels good to write here; it’s always nice to interact with the people in the community, and the “leadership” is making decisions I stand behind and support myself. A good product from good people.
