=> Comment on Mastodon

I added a new feature to my blog today, when I post a new blog article this

will trigger my dedicated Mastodon user

https://bsd.network/@solenepercent to

publish a Toot so people can discuss the content there.

Every article now contains a link to the toot if you want to discuss about an

article.

This is not perfect but a good trade-off I think:

1. the website remains static and light (nothing is included, only one more

link per blog post)

2. people who would like to discuss about it can proceed in a known place

instead of writing reactions on reddit or other places without a chance for

me to asnwer

3. this is not relying on proprietary services

Of course, if you want to give me feedback, I'm still happy to reply to emails

or on IRC.
