Ultimately it comes down to wanting someplace where I can be found by people who don't already know to look for me.

Yes, I agree that that's more difficult when you self host, or if you use some more obscure service.

From a lack of tracking standpoint, write.as is good

I'll check it out, I'm less familiar with it than with the other two.

Is there another platform that I haven't thought of?

There is https://writefreely.org , which is a federated blogging platform. I don't have first hand experience with it though, so I don't really know whether it has an active community, but maybe it's worth it to take a look.

I just find it a pain as I said to have to re-format things to display properly.

That does sound like a hassle, especially after having done it many times. Do you think the reformatting could be automated, or does how it is redacted have to change substantially as well?

Funny you should mention writefreely, as that is the back-end that write.as uses (sort of like wordpress.org vs. wordpress.com).

I think for now I've been convinced to keep posting stuff here; maybe I'll just ignore links and hope for the best :)
