Web app tip: Don't use a .io tld unless you want everyone deciding the tld is part of the product's name even though you never, ever use it anywhere in any branding or anything. Argh 😡

@aaronpk I think that's a fair answer if you buy that owning the content makes the community "the whole internet", but it's not. There's an awkward split between the blog content itself and the community of users interacting on micro blog. The latter will always exist separately to individual blogs and thus needs to give users (some level of) control.

Wrote a thing on my micro.blog blog about why I think micro.blog isn't the big alternative to other closed source networks like Twitter that it wants to be, in case you're interested https://micro.joshsharp.com.au/2018/09/22/12/

(Mastodon is better.)
