Something that I find a little annoying is having to manually post things to different social media. I like to post JUST to my site here and then syndicate to socials, mostly just mastodon, but I would like to figure it out for other corporate socials too.

A blog isn't a blog without comments. I tried to get around those semantics by calling this a homepage, but just because you say something doesn't make it true, even in 2022.
