I do not have any predisposition for any socials, I love to build communities when I am, so it's not just dropping a link of my music but actually having people who care about what I do. But on twitter for any reason, there is a group of people interested in folklore, it's not TWITTER, it's that group of people and individuals and like-minded people who interest me, some who have become friends. It's like a bubble that has nothing to do with the rest of the noise, we just read books together, share folklore and mythology (changing the prompt each day). It's a healthy interaction and I'd miss it, so I stay. I wish over here there'd be a microblogging part too, some are scattering to mastodon. Same all other socials, in each one you have a group of "people" we do not own those pages, but I built those connections. Now I get lots of "political" intrusion even from individuals (let's not mention) I keep on blocking, one day they say you cannot link to another page or you're shadowbanned, or everchanging policies, or pay to reach... Atm I'm in and behind the curtains trying to solidify those connections which are organically genuine. Same as I was in touch with lots of people on st.... thankfully lots of them came over here, but I'm still in touch with people that just "faded away". Not all in socials is about promoting our work, they're socials, you build links, and now I feel they took advantage of our trust, and our content, it's way too drastic, and certainly the TONE and the level of intrussion is too obvious not to bother us. I've told them about here, but the prompts are basically microblogging twitter style and also most would find overwhelming. I do not know how many times I've explained in dms this is not hive social XD

Thankfully I've only used twitter long enough to realize it's a dumpster fire. I get that you found your own niche over there, which is great. But it's constantly described as 'the world's digital public square'. To that I say... no thanks lol.

If you've already got stuff going on like you describe then yeah its pretty hard to change it, and Hive certainly isn't the place for it unless they're willing to turn things into macro? blogging.

Yes, Public square sounds like an awful "noisy" to me. Socials are to use them not to be used, that is in great part why I am here. But yes there is a group of people I connected with and I cherish that, the value are them not the place, and we are all eyeing to move. I wish they could be all over here specially the bloggers, but there is a lot of microblogging too. Officially today is my 14th anniversary on "twister" lol 😂 and my effort will be compensated by limiting my reach tomorrow on. It does not hurt me, because I still follow my friends, nut it is a solid reminder that socials rise and fall. Diversify and create, and limit doomscrolling lol 😂 as much as possible.

Literally, it is a sh...ho.e now
So much NOISE

Yes, no it is a microblogging thing, there is a prompt each day.

😂

hahah I explain the reason, as always it's not the place but the connection you built in those places, and wherever those people migrate, same as happened here some years ago, it is where the value is
