One of the few good things to come out of Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter is that it’s been an invitation to spend the last four-ish years exploring different permutations of the social web. I’ve appreciated the chance to double-down on a website-first setup, syndicating my posts (big and small) to a couple of different Mastodon setups as well as a Bluesky account, but treating them as appendages of my own dang website instead of places where I post. I’ve also really enjoyed different ways of consuming the social web, including apps like feeed, Reeder, and Tapestry, combining social media and RSS feeds into an aggregation of neat stuff on the web.

I’m not proud that I’ve switched feed readers twice in six months (hi Tapestry, you’ve finally won me over), but I am thrilled to now have one interface filled with train pictures.

Spent some time exploring Tapestry last night (and stayed up too late doing so, boo). Really appreciate what it’s going for, but it’s not quite what I want, so going to stick with Reeder.
