I feel like an idiot. I trusted in incipient social media. They hosted my blog. But one day my posts stopped being published. I don't see visible reasons. Maybe a bandwidth limit. No explanations here, except a generic: "It's not possible to establish a connection with server, try later"... even though the site is still working.

But it's not the blog of a famous person: it's the blog of an unknown, never important person on the internet. You know, a user struggling with only 5 followers on each social media platform. So, how did I exceed the limit? It seems like they "blocked" the feature, leaving the users without this functionality.

I spent the whole afternoon preparing a blog to host on the typical dev platforms (like Github, etc.). I finished late at night. Coffee and more coffee. Of course, I know how to do this shit. But they could've been a bit more considerate, right? Imagine, this link is all over my social media... and now is a blog where I can't publish anything. They won't know my updates because I can't publish anymore, and it's like they won't let me. From a user point of view, it could seem like I'm messing with them.
