I think the daily journal should be published to a can-be-private/locked blog that at least n people of the journaler’s choosing can access, in addition to maybe needing to be visible to the cohort.
I think this would help me have a midway point between the “no inferential distance” audience of myself (which doesn’t provide an affordance for fully spelling out and checking my thinking), and the “too large an inferential distance to be bridgeable in one step” audience of the eventual effortpost.
I actually did end up mostly publishing into private venues during my weeklong self-betatest for idiosyncratic reasons.
One problem I ran into was there was a relatively small number of people that actually made sense to share it with, but like, those people hadn’t particularly opted into engaging with me that week and I felt like by posting to a narrower group I was making more of a demand on people’s attention on my Thinkslop than publishing publicly would have. (I think this is totally solvable but requires a bit of attention)
This sounds like fun!

Yeah something like that feels good to me.
