Going into the new year, social media edition.
It's time to take a look at the various social media platforms I use and what I'll be doing with them in the upcoming new year. Because sometimes you just need to look at all your time sinks and let some go to get some of that time back.
BlueSky - I'm all in on this one. Currently It's my preferred platform for social media. Just wish a few more folks were over there and that a few features were present as well. They may be in the future as they are always rolling out improvements.
Twitter - Pulled the plug on this one. I'm out. Didn't delete my account so nobody else could take the name. It really turned into a shit hole that's for sure.
MeWe - I'll keep using it, but really besides the groups there isn't much going for it.
Threads - More useless than three day old shit. I'm done there.
Instagram - Random posting of memes is about all I can find a use for it. Bailing on it here soon as well.
Facebook - To many folks I know are still there. To many locals are still there. I'll keep using it until other folks leave. Much like MeWe groups are the only real big perk.
Mastodon - I'm on the dice.camp server. It's nice. I'll keep using that one as well.
Discord - Really getting tired of trying on there. Sometimes it feels like it's working out, other times not so much. Not really my vibe for the most part, but there are lot of people there and discussions that I like. But just having to drop in at just the right time before they scroll past is not a fun thing.
I’m thinking of weaning off MeWe in favor of commenting on more blogs. Unfortunately, the access from Feedly makes this difficult to both accomplish and link to my Blogger account. If I can figure this out, I’ll be golden.
ReplyDeleteYeah the interconnection that we used to have on blogs doesn't seem to be there anymore. I do try to add to keep adding more links in my blog roll at the bottom of my page here (well on a conventional computer, cell phones it comes up differently). I used to do posts called "That blog over there" and point out different other bloggers. I need to start doing that again.
DeleteI used to do that too, like a top 5 or 10 posts from other blogs I read for the week. That was fun. I could get back into that.
