As Ludovic Chabant writes, "POSSE is a pretty bad acronym (standing for "Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere") describing a pretty good approach where you publish your writings, status updates and cute pet photos on your own website before some sort of (preferably automated) system posts a copy to various 3rd party proprietary services (aka 'cross-posting')." It's what I do with OLDaily. Chabant reports, "I've written my own ad-hoc tools to implement it, and for a bit more than 6 years this tool has been SiloRider, available on Sourcehut (using Mercurial) and Github (using Git)." Cool beans.
