New comment by jasonpbecker in "Why I'm leaving Micro.blog"

The model is exactly as you say. The whole idea is to be sort of like Wordpress.com. Pay for hosting if you want it, but if you just want to participate in a social layer on top of your own RSS feed, all of the social features are free and you just import an RSS feed.

If you leave micro.blog hosting, you can just submit your new RSS feed wherever you're hosting the same content and it'll be pretty seamless, I think.

Curation and diversity, in this post, feel like expressing the same problem in some ways-- too few people with insufficient diversity are currently using the service. Curation _may_ fail at scale the way they are doing it, but we don't know that. And if the diversity isn't there to curate, I'm not surprised curation hasn't surfaced diversity. But micro.blog is super young. Maybe it'll be a useful social place, maybe not. For me, it's a pretty good blog host right now.
