It’s true to say that Twitter diluted my blogging output.
The lure of social media took me by the hand, pulled out my fingernails and crushed my fingers whilst I was intoxicated by b the smell of freshly baking bread.
I’m only human after all (well in part at least). Now Facebook is laying off staff, Twitter is in a state of flux and suddenly the non commercial Mastodon is seen as a place for worried Twitter types to jump onto.
In real terms the number of people suddenly signing up to Mastodon is only around 1/250th of the total number of existing Twitter users and some will find the idea of a non corporate distributed server setup struggling to cope with a sudden surge in use very confusing.
I get the feeling that social media might be on the verge of a decline or at least a fragmentation. More choice is good. Hiding in our our niche bubbles might be an act of self preservation.
We shall see.
