I've made an anonymous blog
I've made an anonymous blog. This one is anonymous enough you may say. And you may be right. But you also may not.
I've made a private blog. There's a section for this in the Bear Blog Docs. I wasn't trying to make a private blog but I stumbled upon that page, and then I did.
It feels... like freedom. When you disallow the discoverability it seems that you also disallow the upvote button. I also disallowed robots. Not sure if it works with agents but whatever, I could not care less.
Or maybe I do care but that's where the anonymous part comes in. You must really know me to know it's me, and that's after you got the link for the blog. I know I can hide it even more if I remove the links. Just pages, just links. If I want to share with someone, I can. In fact, if I remove the nav (not sure if I can), you'll get a page and only that page you could read, which it could be my intention.
Coming back to the freedom part, it's like my journal but I know it's public. And I think of some of the people that one day I may share it with. And at the same time I don't think about anything, I just write what I want, just raw thoughts, no thread, no plan, no nothing. And that's actually everything.
I've had this blog for a couple of weeks and I'm still writing on it. It's easier to write there than it is here. When I know I'm discoverable, I try to keep a readable structure (not saying that I achieve it but I try). When I know I'm anonymous, public, discoverable by direct link only, not indexable, it's a whole different beast that feels really good.
Let's see if I can grab some of that energy and pour it here for the Bear Blog community to benefit from as I benefit from its energy every day.
Thank you for reading.
