I’m entertaining the idea of starting a digital privacy and security blog. As a matter of fact, I am self hosting it right now, but mainly for friends, family and acquaintances. It’s super basic, more rants than articles honestly, 🤣
Since the only 2 social networks I have are Lemmy and Mastodon, I’ve been avoiding allowing sharing to Facebook, Twitter and other mainstream SNs.
My wife thinks I should just host it on a cloud and share it everywhere with the argument of, and I quote, “the platforms you use are already full of people as paranoid as you. If you really want to bring your knowledge and experience to others, you should allow us to share to the platforms full of people oblivious to the dangers you constantly slam us with” (which is absolutely true. I’m a thorn on their side, lol.
What do you guys think? Should I add features to share to those places? Would you if it was you? Under no circumstances will I post on any of them, and if I allow to share from my blog, my inner circle would be the one doing the sharing.
I do want to help spread our gospel, but I think that most people in those platforms are just to far gone to even care. I don’t even know what to think anymore. I’ve only written 2 articles so far anyway, so it’s not like I’d be the New York Times of privacy or anything.
That’s the idea, and now that I’ve written 2 articles, it’s a bit time consuming. I want to do 2 - and 3 posts per week, and absolutely planning on adding tutorials and suggestions that have worked for me, as well as lists of alternatives to mainstream software and hardware.
The blog is extremely raw in terms of design, and I will be getting a new domain soon to separate it from my personal life as well. I sent you the link via DM.
