My verified online presence

I have an online presence. That is just a fancy way to say that I own a domain name, I have a personal site and I have a couple of accounts on various other external platforms. The line between having an online presence and a social presence is a blurry one because what even is a social media platform anymore. That said, I find this current trend of chasing an official verification status on various platforms quite bizarre. Don't get me wrong, I get why it's happening, but still, it's baffling.

Since blue checkmarks are, for the most part, completely pointless, let me use this post to "verify" myself. I'm gonna list down here all the various places where I'm active in one way or another. Order is mostly random but I'll start with the most obvious one:

And I think that's about it. I'd say that > 90% of my online output happens on this site. Maybe even > 95%. The Kirby forum and read.cv are primarily work/tech related, HN is an odd in-between. But honestly, I could just keep my blog and be perfectly happy.


10th of May edit: As I wrote in another post, Micro.blog is now gone. I'm also unsure what to do with read.cv right now because they added posts and who knows if it will slowly morph into a hipster, design focused Twitter. We'll see, I might delete it later down the line.
