I have just joined Bluesky, but it does seem to be very worthy and very focused on the big issues of real life, so I don't know how long I'll last over there.

I'm doing it again already, spreading myself too thin. That's it now. No other sites of social media allowed. I already know I can't keep up with one, let alone two. (Or three, in fact, since my non-writing real life friends and activities are all on Facebook.)

Right? So many "take my courses on how to become a successful author" grifts out there!

But very much true about DW. I like being able to continue a conversation over days or weeks, and not feel like I need to reply instantly. I like tumblr for some things - it's nice for looking at and sharing art from artists I like, or those short quippier things, but that's not really the sort of thing I'm interested in making myself. And DW definitely lends itself to a more personal connection with the people you get to know.

I do love being able to look at my own DW to be reminded of things I've done or thought about. I often forget details about places we've visited, or things we've gone to do. Looking back at my entries here reminds me of a lot of things I would have otherwise forgotten completely!

Yes, I tend to wait for tiktoks to "escape containment" to tumblr or the like, haha. I do sometimes have a bit of FOMO with regards to booktok, because I know that IS where a lot of talk about writing and reading and book releases and events happens, and I feel like I miss out on a lot of it. (Again, until it escapes containment and people start talking about it elsewhere, which often just means the drama parts, haha.)
