Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Modern equivalent to blogs would probably be vlogs (videos on tiktok or other platforms like that)
Blogs are still a thing, check out WordPress.org
Another option is publishing on a place like medium.com
None of the above are optimal regarding your concerns about data collection, etc.
To address that, you could just set up your own personal website, if you don't mind learning how to do it
i already know how to create my own website - i'm just curious whether that's (still) the best option
Regarding the concerns you listed, it's the option that gives you the most control over content and access to it.
All the others are a trade off in exchange for them promoting you.
I agree with this other Nemo. Your own site under your own control is best.
If you implement activitypub somehow it would be great. If you intend on allowing comments I'd love to be able to do it from an existing fedi acct.
