Mastodon

I finally broke. Though Twitter had been my online home and source of a wonderful bookish community, I am making the move to Mastodon at least for now. Come find me at https://wandering.shop/web/@EMFaulds

I’m new to the site and while it has its limitations, for now I’m getting a much more genuine experience due to the lack of algo gaming that was going on so much at the bird site. People see what you’ve written! You don’t get posts suppressed just because you happen to put a link in it! Amazing. I hope it stays good, because frankly it has been disheartening watching Twitter crash and burn.

I haven’t deleted my Twitter yet, but the way things are going, I am quite scared that my data will end up in some bad places as the Wrecker in Chief shreds security and staff with equal abandon. But, I suppose the same was for Facebook before that, and MySpace before that, and on and on back until we were communicating by hitting each other over the head with rocks.

On to new futures, I guess.
