I disagree

That's archive organization issue, not the social network paradigm issue.

Your personal archive is your own thing to organize and keep track of. Why should social network do that for you?
In fact, you have bookmarks to choose posts you like for later.

@BigFoxBoss Because a blog is a type of personal archive - a journal, a diary.

We discussed it the other day in the cryptography museum, it was a nice talk.

@mittorn Microblog is a type of blog. And Fediverse is not only microblogs, it accomodates all media.

(and yes, I'm toying with an idea of making a book based on the entirety of my or whoever else's posts around here)

Blogs and microblogs are fundamentally different.
Blogs are focused on longer articles, focusing on the substance of the post.
Microblogs are focused on what's in the moment (insert joke about someone constantly sharing when they pooped last time).
Therefore, UI/UX is completely different on those.
Blogs accentuate an article, comments are at the bottom.
Microblogs put original post and replies on equal ground and visual weight.
Navigating a blog full of substance and focused discussion of the post is much easier than scrolling through a million of tiny ass posts and through copious amounts of random memes on someone else's page.
