Effectively distributing texts online is very painful

Tim Daub argues that distributing blog posts effectively online is very difficult, and that major platforms fail at it. After his article "Six unpopular opinions about software standard development" was flagged on Hacker News shortly after reaching the front page, he tried Twitter, blocking its news feed on desktop and following no one. He found that his readers were scarce, and a tweetstorm about Nikolai.fyi's dmap.sh project gained 400 followers and about 700 likes, but he concluded that Twitter rewards attention over argument quality. He decided to keep his account but spend less time there and to improve his website's discoverability through tags and topic introductions.
