Micro.blog is a microblogging and social networking platform created by Manton Reece, launched in April 2017. It allows users to post short updates, photos, essays, and even podcasts on their own personal blogs. Micro.blog emphasizes simplicity and a slower, more thoughtful pace of social interaction, avoiding features common to other social networks like follower counts, likes, retweets, and algorithms.
Key Features:
- Personal Blogging: Users can create their own blog under a custom domain or username.micro.blog.
- Cross-posting: It supports syndication to platforms like Mastodon, Tumblr, Bluesky, LinkedIn, and more.
- No Distractions: Micro.blog avoids typical social media metrics such as likes or follower counts, focusing instead on meaningful engagement.
- Community Focus: Posts are curated by humans rather than algorithms to maintain a friendly and safe environment.
- Flexible Content: Users can share short posts or longer essays, images, and even podcasts. It also supports importing content from platforms like WordPress and Medium.
Micro.blog is part of the IndieWeb movement, encouraging users to publish content on their own domains while syndicating it elsewhere. It supports web standards like Webmention and ActivityPub, making it interoperable with other platforms in the Fediverse.
