Why invest into a personal site rather than just have a social media presence?

@kevquirk shared his thoughts on the matter which inspired me to add my own on top.

@KentNavalesi @kevquirk You're right. For a completely own, it does require either a tech-savvy friend or a lot of time to explore how to set up own site.

I think there are valuable middle steps though: for example setting up a hosted site or blog with custom domain using sites like Wordpress.com, BearBlog.dev, Pika.page or Micro.blog.

I was posting my usual waffle over on Fosstodon yesterday, and someone asked a question about having a personal site vs just using social media. So I naturally decided to write a post on my personal site about it.

Please, don't force me to log in.

One aspect of software enshittification that really grinds my gears is that more and more apps require you to create accounts and login.
