I’d noticed some years back that this project seems to have started with a pretty strong anonymity story: https://write.as/ That seemed to diminish in emphasis a few years ago, stopped accepting accounts that didn’t give you a credit card end of 2021, and some year recently (last year? I forget…) seemed as though the warrant canary missed a couple updates. (It’s up to date now, with an assertion of no warrants…

From what I understand, Mastodon is to Twitter as WriteFreely is to WordPress.com/Medium/Blogger/etc. Fediverse-aware, open-source, with a flagship SaaS hosted instance available at https://write.as. If microblogging hadn’t fried my brain and I was interested in spinning up a longform blog, this is the software I would choose.

Substack has problems too. For hosted foss services, write.as (https://write.as/) and bearblog (https://bearblog.dev/) are good. If self-hosting, the choices are infinite.

Take the site write.as, for instance, which has a 70 domain authority (Moz) and a 79 domain rating (Ahrefs). Both of those are very high scores and represent the kind of links that would probably retail for at least $400 on the gray market for backlinks. Write.as will happily give you as many of these as you want for $6 per month.

On that same just write mentality there’s also, https://write.as/. There are several communities that run the same site, but basically it’s a blog site that has no comments, no views none of the BS and let you focus on writing.

I also wish write.as were more popular. It’s like old Medium, but less popular but with a more reader-friendly business model and self-host-able (AGPL v3).

Perhaps https://write.as will work for you? It’s very minimalist.

Use something like https://barf.bt.ht/, a miminal blog generator, and host it on Codeberg Pages or Sourcehut Pages, platforms which are seemingly ethical[1]. Alternatively, there’s https://write.as/. 1. https://drewdevault.com/2022/03/29/free-software-free-infrastructure.html.

I have been considering https://write.as/ and https://writefreely.org/ I am trying to determine how private is write.as and how difficult is writefreely.org.

I recommend https://write.as if you just want a clean, minimalist blog platform with photo hosting and minimal effort. Automatic RSS, mail, even ActivityPub. Write in Markdown and no ads. Or self-host this software as F/OSS with WriteFreely. You can add interaction (blog post comments) via e.g. Commento if you dislike Disqus as you should…

I just experimented with my blog that is writefreely and I just did a test. No, it doesn’t appear to be. In my case I’m hosted with write.as at the moment and my toot back at my own blog entry just stayed on my profile with no alerts back.

Https://write.as/ to publish on Fediverse (or https://writefreely.org for Self Hosted instance)?

Alternatively, something like write.as would be better suited.

Since I have not seen anyone mention it here, https://write.as/ might also be an option for someone looking to replace Medium. Hosted by them or self-hosted. Not affiliated in any way. Just like the idea.

For example, I was recently introduced to write.as which looks similar in certain ways, but it is much more active in features and updates.

I don’t know what was the first, but I do know that micro.blog and write.as (paid hosting for Write Freely, so I guess that could be lumped in with paid Mastodon as a category) are monetized, and they both support ActivityPub.

Write.as is a lightweight, low-friction, Markdown-based blogging platform with support for text spacing in poetry.

You wouldn’t even need to start a website of your own to do it — you could store it on a website like write.as. Just for an example, I’ve started a little page that you’re welcome to take from for yourself if you like, with the sources you’ve quoted so far.

Write.as is a lightweight blogging platform well suited to technical writing as it supports Markdown and MathJax. It also has a newsletter feature as readers can subscribe to receive posts via email.

I switched to https://write.as that supports Markdown, MathJax, and is well suited to the kind of technical writing I do.

I am not sure if I understood this correctly. This app is more or like a text writer (like a local Word app) that lets us scribble things down and it doesn’t offer us a space to publish our write-ups like write.as? If not, are there any plans for this in future?
