@hazardwarning Yeah. I don't really have any desire to have a stand-alone blog that is made up of random snippets of conversation. I enjoy the random casual conversations I've had on ADN over the years. I don't, in general, care about any random comment I made, though. I think these unfederated solutions to the silo problem aren't terribly interested in casual conversation and aren't going to solve that problem. With ADN shutting down, though, I do see that the idea of losing many of the things I posted as conversation "roots" is sad. I spent some time on my bli.ms page the other day and was sad to think it's all going away. But, if I post that sort of thing on my blog (where I don't allow comments), I hear nothing and it generates no conversation. I don't think a collection of micro-blogs will do any better. I'm willing to wait and see what percolates out, though.
