I was posting my usual waffle over on Fosstodon yesterday, and someone asked a question about having a personal site vs just using social media. So I naturally decided to write a post on my personal site about it.

@kev Great thoughts! I added my two cents on top at https://hamatti.org/posts/why-personal-site-rather-than-social-media-presence/
@underlap Excellent point. And especially if you make it available with RSS.
I see social media as fast but noisy and blogs as slow but with more signal.
I’m ok with noisy data when I care about recent trends. But rely on blogs for topics I care about.
