@jayeless@social.lol @hollie@social.coop I have an old uncle who sends out a long printed letter in the post to relatives around the world once a month or so. He has been doing it forever, as far as I know. I was thinking, I could do the same thing via e-mail. The only problem is, I don't know if I'd have the motivation to actually keep writing it!
@hollie This is something I’ve grappled with myself and ended up withdrawing from more personal blogging, so I don’t know if I have a great answer for you 😬
I do keep feeling like LiveJournal’s friends-only posting was a model that worked well for me, and therefore that I wouldn’t mind using Dreamwidth… if anyone I knew used Dreamwidth. (Well, my sister uses it, but I don’t think she wants to mix her smutty fanfic internetting with "keeping up with family" internetting, lol.) I still feel like Fediverse-compatible LJ is a missed niche.
I feel like an option that emails people on your subscriber list is the most accessible, but I personally don’t love email newsletters 😂 Ghost’s private RSS feeds are cool, but yes, cost. If your current blogging platform allows for password-protected posts, that seems easy so long as you don’t mind communicating passwords.
Just my thoughts, anyway. Probably they don’t help you settle on anything at all 😂
