As I mentioned last year, I regularly bookmark people’s posts who I might otherwise have “liked” or “boosted” elsewhere.
And I have a few people on my blogroll who I especially like to read (and a few I need to add to that list, too).
And a few regulars I enjoy a little back and forth with occasionally.
So, I’m very happy using micro.blog. It’s very actively developed by @manton and community members, and suits my needs almost perfectly.
