Men: Listen, Don't Advise - Mike Israetel
**Blogging Platform Advice Request**
Some time back, I set up a blog on rant.li. The purpose of the blog was to allow for a place where I could review books and interact with visitors. I chose rant.li because I wanted to stay close to the Fediverse. Since registering on the platform, I have found the experience frustrating. I understand that rant.li is minimalist in nature and this was something that was an attraction however, I found navigation across the platform difficult. Until the very end, I still did not know if a partial article that I had written was saved as a draft or published for the world to see. The final straw came a few days ago when I was unable to access the account. There was no way for me to try to retrieve or change the password.
Writing personally and subjectively the user experience on rant.li was immensely difficult and over time had the feeling of a process of diminishing returns.
My request now is that I still have a desire to write my book reviews on a blog, what would you suggest is the best way forward

5 Aug 2025: When you write something, start with the date you wrote it, and include the publication date for any quote. Date is supremely important for context of all that follows.
Keep a standard series of patent notebook style handwritten journals with dated notes and sketches.

Having friends is only valuable if they truly understand you.
If you are hard to understand then you will have fewer friends, and that is only logical. That does not make you undesirable.
It means you're complicated, and it's as good or as bad as you perceive it.
I am so difficult to understand not even I understood myself until 30ish my true friends are very hard to find.
I am okay with that. I was gifted a perception of reality that is unique, and I value greatly.
