Blogging with Ghost and using Ghost’s ActivityPub features is a fine setup, but I can’t seem to get comfortable with it. There’s this feeling that it’s not “mine” that I can’t shake. Also, the ActivityPub stuff is functional, but not nearly finished. Blogging with a static site generator (e.g. Hugo) can be frustrating, but it’s what feels right. And “real” Mastodon is still a much more consistent and complete experience. So, I’m back in Hugo for baty.net and my @jbaty@social.lol identity for socials. You all knew it would happen, though, right? I gave it a month this time, at least.

Notes from today
Before I went out of town yesterday, I mentioned that I might be moving back to Hugo from Ghost (again). I wasn’t sure I’d actually do it, come the light of day, but I did it.
