Instagram would have me believe that I have 30 followers there who want to follow me on Threads.
I assume this means that 30 people who follow me on Instagram have Threads accounts.
If you want to follow me, follow me either on this site’s RSS feed or else on on my Mastodon account: @philipbrewer@wandering.shop. (Or, if you’re the appropriate rare breed, follow me as https://micro.blog/philipbrewer.)
In 2007, when I left Motorola, I was kind of reserving LinkedIn as a potential job-hunting site. In my brain I was already retired, but I hadn’t completely abandoned the possibility I might want another job, so I kept most of my random silliness off LinkedIn, just in case.
That hasn’t made any sense for at least a decade, but it has taken until now for me to get organized to fix it.
If you don’t want to read about my writing, sword fighting, dog walking, random sunrise photos, etc., feel free to use whatever tools LinkedIn provides to filter such stuff, or just stop following me. I’ll take no offense.
It’s just a rumor (I don’t have have first-hand information), but I hear that if you create a Threads account and then delete it, Facebook deletes your Instagram account as well.
Which, you know, is probably a good thing, but probably not what most people had in mind.
Although this post is extremely topical, and will make no sense after a very short time, I thought I’d mention that for a couple of weeks now I’ve limited myself to reading zero tweets per day.
This post will go to twitter, but it’s the last post to go there. The site is no longer a place where I want to be seen.
If you want to follow my stuff, I’m https://wandering.shop/@philipbrewer at Mastodon and I’m https://micro.blog/philipbrewer at micro.blog. And, of course, you can follow my RSS feed right here at https://www.philipbrewer.net/feed/.
Just saw a toot wanting a feature to add subtitles to videos, but read it as wanting a feature to add subtlety to videos, which seems like an even better idea.
Wow. My Mastodon feed got really good just lately. I’ve boosted half a dozen toots just this evening.
As I did with Twitter when it was new, on Mastodon I’m pretty much following anyone who follows me, anyone who interacts with one of my posts, and anyone whose interesting post finds its way into my timeline. When that adds up to more posts than I can keep up with, I’ll curate much more strictly.
Gradually getting my follows arranged for Mastodon. I’m having less trouble than other people, because I had done my best to make Twitter act like Mastodon: I turned off anything that tried to “feature” posts, and just followed a list of people who tweeted interesting stuff.
Ooh! I got on the mastodon server where all the cool f&sf folks are going!
Follow me there: @philipbrewer
