IMO the web was made for discovery. I don't see why would people would want to consume what I write on Twitter or Facebook where there is no formatting available (or worse splitted in small messages on Twitter). If these people prefer to stay in their walled gardens, good for them, but I don't want to strip what I write to please them. Why won't a link on these platforms suffice since they have their "cards"?

Also if people want syndication in one place, there's still RSS aggregators which is a technology that works even if everyone like to pretend it doesn't.

It's sad that "you have to be on the silos" to be seen. It hurts creativity, the Web is also made for things other than words. Can I put inline SVG animations on Twitter and Fasebook?

You can put them on svgur.com and share them to twitter/fb

Can you on HN ?

I have seen some cool blog posts with SVG/CSS animations up-voted on HN. Because you submit links here for the most part, your blog post can still be visible. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_aggregator

Besides Reddit, I don't think most other mainstream social media works that way.

You can't but you can host them on your own and then put a link to them which is more cumbersome both for the writer and the reader who has to click a different link for each svg (or other asset) instead of just clicking one link to an article which inline them.

If its not on Google, it doesn't exist. If it cannot be completely consumed inside Facebook you are probably antisocial. If your idea cannot be expressed inside a tweet, it is too complex for consideration. If you cannot share it on Instagram it is not worth doing. If I cannot reply using just emojis, it is probably too controversial to respond. Welcome to 2018, where human brains have been replaced by mud.
