Links and ephemera (memes, vintage photos, illustrations and ads) go on Mastodon, Tumblr and (sigh) Facebook. I’m saving this blog for meatier updates.

It just seems more appropriate and easier to post the links and ephemera in those other places. Unfortunately, that means my newsletter subscribers won’t see those things, at least for now.

Also: I’m taking a break from Bluesky. I feel like I don’t get enough activity there to be worth the expenditure of attention and time.

This is all likely to change again. I am constantly fiddling with my blogging and social setup. In late May, I paused Mastodon entirely and just used this blog, which is hosted on Micro.blog, as my outpost on the Fediverse. This current change reverses that one. I think Mastodon is better for linkblogging and ephemera than Micro.blog is, though Micro.blog is a great blogging platform.

More ideas I’m noodling:

  • Possibly switching from mastodon.social to hachyderm, because hachyderm permits longer posts.
  • Can I figure out a way to keep the links and ephemera in my newsletter without doing significantly more work? Because this isn’t supposed to be work for me — it’s a hobby!
