> It would be sweet to have a page + RSS feed on my website that contained all my comments from Hacker News, Reddit, Mastodon, Twitter*, and of course Discourse.
I've been thinking about doing this "manually" by parsing JSON responses from Reddit and etc, because about a year ago I realized that all my absurd volume of posts there, on twitter, here, basically constituted labor I was giving to these places for free, that drives up their valuations. I wanted to "take that back" and make it my own by reposting the material somehow on my website.
Obviously, a huge part of the "value" of these comments comes from the context, the fact that the websites exist to have discussions on. If I just posted my comments on my website verbatim, that value and parent comment context would just be lost, and I bet a majority of the content would be almost meaningless.
Still though I really like this idea of being able to link to "my posts across the internet," cause I do it a lot lol.
