The feed is built on top of the reading list software I've been running for a few years, and it ingests posts from Citation Needed.

I can also write posts in the microblog and automatically crosspost them to Twitter/Mastodon/Bluesky, while keeping the original post on my site. Like this (mollywhite.net/micro/entry/202…)!

Thank you. I'm finally going to do this now.

How do you feel about not having platform-specific mentions?

i actually do have platform-specific mentions! i built a little extension to the RTE i'm using where I can enter in a person's social handles — as well as personal website and/or Wikipedia page — and then the crossposter uses the appropriate handle depending on which network it's going to
Screenshot of a microblog post from mollywhite.net, which shows the mention markup on the name "Jonathan M. Katz", which is underlined (linking to his website) and followed by two linked logos to Wikipedia and Bluesky. Full text of screenshot: "There should be newspapers that we work at where we do this" "Bit of a heartbreaking comment from Jonathan M. Katz (also of The Racket), who was the first to note that Senator Katie Britt had apparently brazenly lied while recounting an anecdote in her bizarre State of the Union rebuttal."
Example of the mention tool on the sample text "This is a @mention!", with a dropdown with inputs for website, Wikipedia, Twitter, Mastodon, Bluesky, Tiktok, and Youtube

@ntnsndr (not the clearest example because I edited the social media text before crossposting, but you get the gist I hope)
