POSSE
indieweb.org
POSSE is an abbreviation for Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere, the practice of posting content on your own site first, then publishing copies or sharing links to third parties (like social media silos) with original post links to provide viewers a path to directly interacting with your content.

I’ve been doing POSSE for a while now and it had helped me immensely by saving time and stress.

Basically every time I post something on a 3rd party site I store the content locally. Currently only in Obsidian and some locally cached videos and articles (TubeArchivist and Raindrop)

When I get dragged to the same argument or topic again, I can just grab my old comment, maybe edit/update it a bit and post it.

For some stuff I have longer blog posts I can link to, for some they are images and graphs.

      Obligatory XKCD: https://xkcd.com/386/ 😀

      But more seriously: I do frequent shitty FB forums where newbies ask the same question over and over again. I can just quickly copy-paste my longish and sourced response every time. I’m pretty close to just setting up an Alfred/TextExpand macro for the most common ones 😀

      (On a proper forum we could just point them to a FAQ thread, but Meta makes is intentionally hard because ✨engagement✨)
