I need to get off wordpress in the next few years
maybe go all in on pure email and point the domain at zips of markdown files on some repo somewhere
suddenly getting a strong premonition of the web dying soon, not just blogging

Not dying so much as going underground entirely. Defined as invisible to non-social search.

It looks like there'll be a very low SNR on the public web soon. And by very low i mean "black swan event" level probabilities. I actually, worry(and am anxious) i am losing out on my ability to follow the secret/private internet though.

1) I have not 100% clear if you *want* to go "invisible to non-social search" or feel it will just happen, even if you dislike it, no matter what you do. May you please clarify? Thanks

2/2: if you see your future as "markdown files somewhere" why not move to static site generators as Hugo, i.e. Markdown and nothing else (worries included) for you...
but plain web pages, fully accessible without any effort by everybody else, search engines included if wanted?

Agree that just Googling for things no longer works well. Need to be referred / linked from a trusted source. Interesting implications for Google and Facebook.

Back to running servers in our closets. Ive been feeling this way for a while. Music is always the cultural canary in the coalmine.
