I don't use Twitter because I don't want to support centralized social networks, but I publish to my website much the same as others use Twitter - short links, notes, occasional blog posts: http://minglis.id.au/ I post about technology, Australian politics, programming, privacy, and other generally interesting stuff. There are separate Atom feeds for each of the separate sections: links, notes or blog. I'll get aroun…

What's a good alternative to "centralized social networks"? Atom feed clients?

Personal account: http://twitter.com/danlev My LGBT rights site's account: http://twitter.com/equaldex

Equaldex is one of my favorite new things. A lot of the other sites like Out and Advocate are too spammy. I've got Facebook notifications set up for it, and all I get is actual news.

Wow, thank you so much! Glad to hear! Are you mostly referring to the news share through Equaldex's social media accounts (mostly syndicated from http://equaldex.com/news)? Or the site itself?

The web is a decentralized social network; everyone should have their own website, owning their data and content. Feeds (authenticated and public) can replicate the explicit social graphs of Twitter, Facebook et al.

Regrettably, setting up a website is still too hard for most people - but it's never been easier, too. If you're reading Hacker News, you should be able to do it.
