As we flee the deadly twiX and seek smarter, kinder places to share our stuff, can we rebuild the currency of 'likes?'... and 'comment' freely like no-one is judging?
Cute but maddeningly naughty (just ate a pipe cleaner).
Yes, I have quit the Twit. But Bluesky is still just people joining and helloing, not doing.
Please don't give up writing - I think that substack could be an ideal place for you - my modus is often a ranting bonkers whatsapp message (including to you) that I then turn into a quick and dirty blog!
I try to comment on friends' post - partly just to engage, but also to help with algorithm. Liking and especially commenting helps generate attention algorithmically (I think).
I've moved over to bluesky which I think is a worthy successor for twitter. It's weak in some areas, but mostly, I'm liking it and am slowly finding more engagement. It's got a nicer and more substantive culture than twitter. I recommend it - and would really like to see more international develoment types on it.
Oh good points - the Bluesky thing is important as I think at the moment we international development types are like people standing watching an empty dance floor while complaining that no-one is dancing. Got to throw some shapes! Cut the rug! or whatever we say this century.
That Mishti is getting cuter. I think I am giving up on twitter and writing in general. What a crap year it has been.
