Ever wanted to start a personal blog, but didn't know which of the 50 one-thousand-word-user-agreement writing corporations to sign-up with? Would you rather start a blog in the fediverse instead? Well, you're in luck or something: I started my own Write Freely instance, focused on creative writing and free expression, shunning soul-sucking monetization schemes and AI-garbage. It's a VERY simple UI that uses Markdown for post formatting and CSS for blog customization. No commenting, no like-system, just writing in a community of people who f&$king love writing.

More info in the main link, or here (same thing): https://howdoyouspell.cool/cool/community-guidelines

We aim to be a no-judgement place to just post whatever you want. Feel free to join at your leisure. Since it's privacy focused, you don't even need to put in an email to sign up. Registration is open for the next 24hrs or so. It's totally free - I'm just looking to build a community of like-minded writers. The community guidelines are outlined in pretty exact detail, so I encourage you to read through them before joining. You can have up to 2 blogs per user.

I've been looking at dabbling with Write Freely or Bear Blog, but my indecision leads me to do neither. Thx for the kick in the pants.
