​​For 20+ years, my blog has been a non-commercial space for sharing my life and feelings. My reader list is thinning out—I need genuine, soulful blogs that share for the love of it, not for money. Any suggestions? 👇

Richard MacManus (@ricmac@mastodon.social) @stefan@stefanbohacek.online much I want to support this, it seems like a rather dubious 'day'. Seems like Automattic invented it in order to sell its .blog domains? All they say in the post is "Since the early 2000s, August 31st has been known as World Blog Day." -- but they provide no link as evidence of that claim? https://my.blog/2022/08/25/what-is-world-blog-day-and-how-can-you-celebrate/ (And yes, I wouldn't so suspicious of Automattic if it weren't for Matt Mullenweg's antics in recent times. But, I am now...)

What do you all think about August 1/31 being a #WorldIndieBlogDay?
