You're downloading the whole thing and it's scaling exponentially, which means like you need massive amounts of storage. It's like petabyte. I don't know if it's petabytes. It was a lot. It was a ton of storage that you were gonna need in order to keep, to have your own version of Blue Sky so that you could be independent from it.

It has a really interesting architecture and maybe they could get there, but right now they don't. I'm not saying don't go to Blue Sky. I am on Blue Sky, but I don't trust it, right? I don't trust that it'll always be there. I am using Blue Sky as what I've heard to referred to as POSSE, Post Owned Site Syndicate Everywhere, P-O-S-S-E. And what that means is I trust slyflourish.com.

And I trust my RSS feeds that I generated on slideflourish.com. And I have bots that post those RSS feeds to Mastodon and Blue Sky. And that's fine. And if they stopped, that's fine too, right? Like it wouldn't make that. I'm not burning a lot of my own intellectual capital on these other platforms. I would rather focus that on us here and on the Discord server. Discord is a whole other thing.

God, I could get on Discord. Stuff like that. Anyway, if you're interested in like actual sort of that, you know, I would definitely recommend Mastodon and Blue Sky over Threads or X. Absolutely. Absolutely. I recommend that. Then we get to blogs. I love blogs. Sly Flourish has been a blog. I've run Sly Flourish for 20 years now. I ran a blog for 10 years before that.

I've been running blogs since before there were blogs. I've been absolutely obsessed with RSS feeds for almost 30 years. Some of my earliest coding work was scraping sites to generate RSS feeds that then got so popular I was taking servers down. So I've been doing a lot with blogs and RSS feeds for a lot. And there's tons of good RPG blogs.

They actually tend to lean more in the OSR space than I see in other ones, but not all of them. And what I did is I created a, if you're interested in, I created a site. I actually had this site going for a while. The URL is dndblogs.com, but now I'm calling it ttrpgblogs. I don't have the URL for ttrpgblogs.

And there is a blog roll and the blog roll has more than 100 different RPG blogs on it, including all of their RSS feeds. And there is this thing called an OPML file. Oh, look at that. We're going to look at code, everybody. An OPML file is a file that you can import into your own RSS reader to automatically subscribe to all of these blogs at once.
