After 8 months, I'm dipping my toes back to these lighter waters. Increasingly, the other place was not my cup of tea.

This is my last post here for a while as this account is going dormant. I'll dip in very occasionally, but I've decided to stick with Twitter & Instagram. Wishing everyone a good week & that they find a path that works for them :)

Thanks, Sarah, yes, I think dipping is the perfect verb! I've decided to stick to Twitter & Instagram. Hopefully that'll do the job :)

Thanks for sharing, Lance - I have 550 followers & basically 0 engagement on Threads. I know it's supposed to be a slower thing and it takes time to build actual connections on SM, but I don't feel it's a good use of effort. Sticking to Twitter, I think & Instagram which I'm liking :)

Thanks, Sarah, for sharing your experience - I agree with the view that this is all too scattergun-like. Think I've decided to stick with Twitter &now use Instagram too which I'm liking much more than I expected (somehow feels more positive place than other spaces)

Reposting as a test really to get a sense of the different platforms - BlueSky is not really picking up enough imo & Threads feels chaotic. Are ppl sticking to Twitter then? In particular readers & writers & editors & journalists? Making a call this yr on where/what to put time into

Any thoughts on the best place for book / fiction / reading / writing chat between all the SM accounts? I've decided (at last) just to do one as it's not my vibe having a million accounts I'm enjoying Instagram much more than I'd expected, but that feels different. Thoughts appreciated
