One of the greatest user interface disasters in history
Mastodon is a microblogging service, so not meant for large bodies of text. This is why the text entry box is small, the columns are somewhat narrow (especially in deck mode) etc.
Platforms like https://writefreely.org/ , which are designed to be for blogging and long-form writing, are the place to write this. Write Freely federates so one can follow accounts and interact with posts via Mastodon etc.

Hi. I created a copy on Lemmy just in case Reddit goes down the drain. If any of the current mods wants mod access there, just let me know. If you think this is a horrible idea, also let me know and I'll remove it.
It's all about federation, in these federated networks all these servers talk to eachother and exchange messages about stuff going on on the servers. So it's easy to set up a hidden service for the webui of one of them, but it's sometimes quite obscure to try and set up the federation for one of them. It depends on what settings they honor and what other types of encryption and authentication they require and stuff. But, if you put some effort in ahead of time, you can make it really simple: I don't know how to do it in rust(lemmy is written in rust), but here's a neat example of how to do it in Go: https://github.com/writefreely/writefreely/pull/710 which requires no complicated configuration.

Which platform for occasional blog posts?
An alternative to Plume is WriteFreely, which is a pretty clean & simple experience. Just don't expect to much regarding customization.

It’s 2023. Start using JavaScript Map and Set
I also wish write.as were more popular. It's like old Medium, but less popular but with a more reader-friendly business model and self-host-able (AGPL v3)

Lee's opinions on Umbraco + naming things
Nowadays, especially for any Umbraco extensions I develop, I try to follow Umbraco's own namespaces as closely as possible. e.g. I'd put my custom IContentFinder classes under a [Brand].Web.Routing namespace. Mostly so that it feels logical for any other developers who may be familiar with Umbraco core code.

Integration testing in Umbraco 10+: working with examine
I discovered that I could recreate the behaviour manually if I deleted the TEMP index files. For about 1 minute I got 0 results, but then it fixed itself. Using the debugger, I discovered the ExamineIndexRebuilder class and the RebuildOnStartupHandler. As it turns out, these are the key classes that handle index initialisation. There were a few changes that I had to make in order to get my integration tests to work:

CMS where you can use c#/ razor code directly in the cms
As /u/transhumanist2000 said, the only other one I've seen that looked heavily supported and had a sizable following are dot net nuke, and I'd add, Umbraco (https://umbraco.com/). Unfortunately I haven't heard the best of feedback about these cmses.

What’s your favorite CMS?
I really like Umbraco (https://umbraco.com/), It has a decent community, and is on DotNetCore these days makes it very easy to use. You can setup most basic things yourself, but since it exists as a satellite to your site. You can integrate with it as deeply or not as you want. Plus the workflow for defining content is nice, the customer-facing UI is also slick, and adding custom elements to it and extending is easy too. Plus it's free.
