So what is "A Ton of Cows"?

First of all i want to thank The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine for still having an archived copy of this page. The design and colors are not exactly the same but i had created this layout years ago and didn't wanted to create a new one!

"A Ton of Cows" is actually a personal project that stems WAY BACK to 2016, but it was tied to another fediverse project and it actually didn't lasted too much.

BASICALLY is an attempt to fuse the concept of the old blogs, and the concept of the modern microblog a-la Twitter. So, the idea is an space to make posts with more substance than a tweet, but in a faster than it would be with a normal blog (with not too much info).

>Why don't you just use twitter/X?
The idea, like i said, is to make posts that could be longer and with more substance than a common tweet would allow because of the character limit.

>Why don't you then use Facebook?
I HATE Facebook and what it represents, i closed my Facebook acount more than ten years ago in fact.

>Why don't you then use...
Alright STOP, i get what you mean, i could use several options that exist on social media sites and get more exposure. The issues that i have with modern social media is that no place ends up "feeling like home". No place is customizable to my liking, all the places have tight and ridiculous moderation that barely let you talk about anything without casting you into oblivion or making you feel like you are treading on eggshells.

On here, i feel like have more freedom, first to personalize it to my liking, to make it MINE, and to talk longer about topics that maybe i don't talk on other places due to any kind of constraints.

>Probably noone is gonna end up reading this.
Probably not, i'm okay with that and actually it's better to not have too much of an audience to prevent having to cater to them, but that depends.

>Can i reply to a post?
Right now there isn't a established system to send replies, but if you write an email to hiroyuki @ cock.li specifying what post are you replying to i will include it as reply.

The whole page is gonna be worked more on the following days so keep an eye if you want.

>What are the themes of the page?
Just about ANYTHING, my interests orbit around the themes of technology in general, linux, coding, anime and gaming too, but i will try to keep the themes diverse enough to not be encased in a single corner, always from a personal perspective.

>But why "A Ton of Cows"?
A ton of cows is equal to 1.5 cows.
