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.)
Not really a micro.blog thing (although it could be), but if you spend any time on Mastodon, you should probably know about StreetPass:
1. Mastodon users verify themselves by adding a custom link to their personal site.
2. StreetPass lets you know when you’ve found one of these links, and adds them to your StreetPass list.
3. Browse the web as usual. StreetPass will build a list of Mastodon users made up of the websites you go to.
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/.
Wow. My Mastodon feed got really good just lately. I’ve boosted half a dozen toots just this evening.
If you want to follow what I write here, but don’t want your own mastodon account, just point your RSS-feed reader at the mastodon-generated RSS feed that my mastodon instance provides.
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
I guess I don’t really expect that the demise of Twitter will lead to a grand resurgence in websites that offer RSS feeds as the way to follow your favorite writers.
But wouldn’t it be wonderful if it did?
