#Medium, the proprietary, #SiliconValley equivalent of free and open #fediverse app #WriteFreely, by the #billionnaire co-founder of #Twitter now has a fediverse server.
Now might be a good time to take a look at WriteFreely (https://writefreely.org/) and their hosted services Write.as (https://write.as/) and WriteFreely Host (https://writefreely.host/) and consider owning your own #blog on the fediverse instead of contributing to the walled gardens of the people who bequeathed you Twitter.
Forgive my ignorance; What is the benefit of WriteFreely vs any other wiki/wp/django instance that I may host myself?
@niclas @aral it’s a good question: from my reading of it I think their proposition is it’s simplified, and publishing to it is made eaiser by the various app based front ends, and it’s designed to allow a group of writers to collaborate. It seems to be more specialised and focussed than WP but also more limited. Happy to be corrected by a more informed writer.
