After running my WordPress and Blogger blogs side by side for a few months, it become clearer to me that Wordpress just wasn't working very well for me any more.
WordPress is better for longer posts where the more advanced features on things like formatting and image galleries comes in handy. Because the home feed is just displaying the featured image and the few first lines of text, it works OK for displaying a list of full length blog posts.
What WordPress is not so good for is short posts with just one or two images or one line of text. It rapidly becomes cluttered, and because you need to click on each post to actually view it, it just doesn't work for looking at dozens of short posts (AKA. "shitposts" or "tweets")
Two major drawbacks of Blogger are that all these short posts go pretty much unseen in search engines so it's unlikely many people will ever see them, and because Blogger is owned by Google there is always the risk that they will one day blacklist the blog or even delete it altogether.
But nevertheless I decided to stop doing new posts on my WordPress blog www.frot.co.nz and just make it an archive from the start of 2024. Now I'm doing mostly short posts (siftings) on this dodgy Googled owned Blogger platform.
