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)

Things I wish I knew before moving 50K lines of code to React Server Components
I deploy my static blog via rsync. I also have Isso [0] on it. No need for a back-end web framework or anything.

Gatsby, Ghost, Hugo, Jekyll or another static site generator?
Hugo even has a disadvantage when it comes to blogs. There is no comment function by default. I therefore additionally use the Isso commenting system.

Using Mastodon to power my blog comments
I just use isso (https://isso-comments.de/). It's simple and elegant, easy to integrate, and just works without requiring people to login/signup, and allows moderation.

Wordpress vs Static site for a new tech blog?
If I were you, I would consider whether a self-hosted solution such as Isso Comment might also be an option. I personally don't like it when my comments are stored at third parties.

How do i setup a personal blog which is also stylist ( example in comment) and what software do i use to get started easily?
I would use one of the static website generators for such a page. I use Hugo myself. If you want a comment function, Isso would be worth a look.
