   I am begging you: if you are writing a thread of more than a couple posts, get a blog. I don’t mean this in a mean way. I mean: allow this thought to continue to exist, outside of this platform, in an actually coherent, readable format that sticks around for longer than 20 minutes. You deserve it!

     @kojote I think they may be referring to the drama involving the founder. He's making decisions that could damage the ecosystem, so some people prefer to be cautious as they don't want to be caught with a service the founder doesn't like. But honestly, I am on wp.com and I don't give af because I can always migrate away to another provider it I want to. Right now, far too many CMS are too expensive and too proprietary for me. @tarheel @dansinker

     @tarheel @dansinker @liztai why? Or do you mean the hosted ones?

     P.S. If you're just starting a blog now's a great time NOT to use WordPress.anything.

     I have to disagree, I like long threads, and am very unlikely to go offsite to read someone's blog.

     you can still write the long-ass thing here if you want, just please for the love of god put it somewhere afterwards so that it's actually findable again.
