That post seems to be missing.

https://www.val.town/ has been promoted on hackernews a bunch recently. I haven't used it myself yet but the reviews all seem glowing.

Right now Pastebin or Gitlab snippets is looking like where I may land.

I like the paste.debian idea but the distros I checked had no way to keep track of my pastes. paste.ubuntu did BUT it clearly stated that your stuff was meant to be temporary and could be deleted at any time.

Gitlab snippets led me to look at Codeberg also, but it does not appear they have an alternative.

what about a microblog here? are there limitations on their size? what are those limits like?

I mean, if the things support markdown and a decent storage space, that sounds like something better than a tweet and a gist combined.

edit: I went and looked a little myself, and it seems microblogs must be posted to a magazine? can't I just publish one from my own user profile or something?

@andyburke you inspired me

/m/snippets for everyone to Microblog their useful snippets

Not ideal, like @GerogeWL mentioned, but could be interesting to see what people post

That's not ideal.

Gists have a very useful tooling that you can define file extensions and then the parser shows code highlighting automatically based on the file extension.

There's nothing even close to that here

Markdown often supports code blocks with the language specified, let's see what happens here:

use strict;

Could use some better formatting, but that's as easy as a library integration for a lot of hosts, I would bet.

Iirc I saw formatting for code blocks in the kbin commit history, so we'll likely get something once they finalize a new release and update kbin.social.
