I've given up on all corporate/billionaire social media, including Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Never did much with TikTok or Snapchat, so not a problem there, and I'm not going on Post or any other centralized or for profit sites.
My solution: Mastodon -- it is decentralized, open-source and not run by a sociopathic, narcissistic billionaire (not referring to anyone in specific.) Mastodon has been much more interactive for me than Twitter. Not missing TW, FB or IG at this point.
Hope you and your followers sign up (before Twitter self-imolates!)
Just elite level stuff figuring out how the twitter algorithm works now. Saw a lot of people on Twitter talking about this today.
I love the continued coverage of the ai music space which feels like something no one is really ready for. It's bad enough the covers and the covers in another style and the Mashups made by computer geeks are swamping youtube and elsewhere but this feels like it'll be a whole other level of music content for normies.
The gaming chair thing was awesome. And Rick Steve's making an appearance in garbage day? Can't put anything past @ryanpornstar
Am I the only one that has the option to view the chronological twitter feed? everyone complains about the for you version, but i never use it nor do i have to.
I don't buy the AI Kendrick Lamar plug-in. There's no way he's doing it with stock plugins, but whatever VST/AU he's using is nested inside multiple instrument racks and uses only one signal chain with no macro controls? That's a weird and unnecessary layer of obfuscation.
I saw a TikTok of a dude claiming that painting is taken from a photo he took of his living room lol. And the original pic had a BTS poster on the wall. I wonder why the artist didn’t include it?
Anyway, there is a weird thing going on, where internet culture (posting a pic of your shitty gaming set-up) is finding its way into serious art galleries. I guess it does capture something about the current moment. But not the bodies-and-spaces thing from the video.
I think part of it is that a big portion of the old art world are so up their own butts they have no concept of internet culture, which allows some artist to use that as a rich content mine, that in most parts of life has been exhausted, but in the "high" art world seems new and exotic. To them its outsider art but they, the high art snobs, are the outsiders while we, the real world, are the insiders.
I tried Ghost many months ago, and in the end I decided to go for Substack, but there are 3 things I would like Substack to have that Ghost has:
1- Human support. Substack relies almost 99% on a bot (except for Substack VIPs), and although the bot says they pass the issue on to a human support team, it can take months for them to reply, if they reply at all. On Ghost, in my experience, a human answers, fast.
2-In substack, the posts are in /p/, and in Ghost they are not. So if we migrate from a blog to substack, all internal and external links to our new Substack will not work. Goodbye, SEO.
3- In substack, posts have limited urls, and not in Ghost. Therefore, if we migrate from a blog to substack, all internal and external links (which are somewhat long) to our new Substack would not work. Goodbye, SEO.
Note that I haven't talked about the economic issue, which is something that seems to worry quite a few people. I simply think they are two different business models. Nor that Substack is a proprietary system, and therefore more closed. Ghost is open source SaaS.
It seems to me that Ghost doesn't put non-follow links, Substack does, at least at first.
Is there anyone else who can see the Twitter stream in chronological order but me? I never use the for you version, and I don't have to, despite everyone else's complaints about it. https://geometrydashscratch.com
You’re out here doing the hard work for all of us sinners.

This. Indie creators have had more reach and engagement on the fediverse than on any of the commercial platforms for years now.
Guess I'm just finding this out!

I totally agree with this https://geometrydashonline.io point.

Despite all that, I'm on Substack (for example, in <a href="https://dempresa.substack.com/">Derecho empresarial</a>, <a href="https://emprender.substack.com/">Emprender</a>, <a href="https://carreras.substack.com/">Carreras</a>, <a href="https://liderar.substack.com/">Liderazgo</a>, <a href="https://cienciasocial.substack.com/">Ciencias sociales</a>, <a href="https://humanidades.substack.com/">Humanidades</a>, y <a href="https://chamberly.substack.com/">Sectores</a>) because:
-There are some things it does very well, like Notes.
-I hope it fixes those flaws (the blogosphere is still huge, and someday they'll realise that it's worth migrating bloggers, not just twitterers).
The goal is to keep running and avoid falling into the abyss or colliding with any obstacles along the way. https://run3online.pro
For me, Mastodon has been far more engaging than Twitter.
