So, does anyone celebrate World Blog Day? Not seeing a ton of information about it online, other than the date being chosen because 31/08 spells "blog" (3108).

@stefan Had no idea there was such a day, though I have been blogging since 2006.

A thing to do on this day is apparently sharing your favorite blogs you follow, so here's just a few of my favorites:
- @molly0xfff's https://www.citationneeded.news
- @kissane's https://erinkissane.com
- @andybaio's https://waxy.org
- https://pudding.cool
- https://songexploder.net

@maximum_mew Yeah, I only learned about it a few months ago myself. It doesn't seem like it really picked up.
But hey, it would be neat to bring it back!

@stefan thanks for this! I didn't know about this date and I think the fediverse is the best place to celebrate World Blog Day all in the spirit of bringing back home our data and our works the fusion of 2 blogs of mine into one has been finished yesterday, maybe just in time for World Blog Day without even knowing it

@hl0dwig Absolutely!

And I know some folks also have a dedicated #blogroll page on their website, which is pretty neat (one example I like is https://www.mollywhite.net/blogroll/).
I have to look into setting that up myself.
