I'm a fan of the POSSE paradigm - Publish [on your] Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere. Not everyone has the time/desire/technical skills to self-host a site, but it is the content equivalent of self-custody in bitcoin. Realistically, not everyone will, but holding it up as an ideal has a lot of benefits even for those who choose not to.
That being said, from the few days I've been on SN it seems like a small and cozy community so it makes sense to post long-form content here, but as it expands that may change.

You raise excellent points. I know that's the popular path, and it has worked for lots of people for many years.
I just think that legacy methods like traditional web pages, substack, medium, etc are not bitcoin native and will quickly become obsolete. Maybe nostr is the answer? I feel it's not usable for long form content yet either.

I actually haven't played with nostr yet although I'd like to. From what I understand it's just a protocol, no? How you display the data is a matter of client design. If you're relying on someone else's node then there isn't much difference between nostr and SN. If you run a node, then you're back to POSSE.

You are definitely right about POSSE. I am trying to be better at this :)
Related to Nostr, you can see relays as being alternative syndication targets, and ideally will always publish to one that you control directly or which you trust the hosts/maintainers.

The nice thing is that if you publish long form articles to Nostr relays as NIP-23 events, they will render like blog posts in some Nostr clients...
