Twitter syndication is becoming less and less worth it.

Constantly having to reauthorize Bridgy, only to then have Twitter give me crap because “Hey, we saw a log-in from a different device!”

No you didn’t you morons, it’s me, and I shouldn’t have to keep reauthorizing just because you hate third-party clients.

Headline: “Hedge-Funders Have Some Thoughts on What Epstein Was Doing.”

Me: “Odds are pretty good that at least ten of the hedge funders offering their thoughts were just as much involved with Epstein as the Clintons and Trump and Prince Andrew among others so they should feel free to have several seats.

I’m slowly surely moving forward with Gutenberg, and this event seems like a perfect way to continue diving in.

I’m looking forward to it.

I’m trying to figure out the best way to unify the various timelines I follow, mostly Mastodon (minus the accounts who merely syndicate their Twitter, which means all their retweets, and Micro.blog). I may pull in some stuff from Twitter but I’ll be very very selective in which things I pull over.

Anyway, this isn’t working out the way I’d hoped.

I may see about using Togethr to do it, along with adding some code to my functions.php file to make both Mastodon and Micro.blog links clickable.

I have Bridgy Fed set up (I think properly), so replies, reposts ETC. should work properly.

I’ve found I have plenty of people to interact with on Micro.blog and Mastodon, but Twitter at this point and especially Facebook are pretty much a chore that I’m less and less inclined to tend to.

I log into Facebook from time to time to post something to the business page or respond to messages and that’s it.

This post doesn’t reflect thorough accessibility testing of any of these themes, but I think it’s a good starting point for anyone who’s using Shopify for their site, and wants to at least start on the right foot.

For me, public reading is the act of cataloging the things I’m reading, sometimes so I can find said things later and sometimes for the sake of those times once every year or two when I page back through posts to get a personal glimpse of what’s been going on, how I’ve changed or my thoughts have changed, ETC.

I think performance can come into play, (I’ve read x number of books or x number of words, for example), but it doesn’t have to.

Keeping track of these kinds of statistics can serve ths personal journey retracing purpose, or as documentation of competition.

I think that in order for performance to come into play, there have to be people to watch/witness the performance, and that brings up whether or not personal websites serve the same purpose as your typical social media profile.

For me, my personal website serves the purpose of a social media profile only to the extent that, if someone asks why I’m not posting on Twitter, Facebook, ETC. because they’re interested in what’s going on in my life, at which point I’ll direct them to my website.

But other than that, if people follow, that’s great, and I enjoy the bits of conversation that can happen as a result of the following. If they don’t, that’s fine too, and I’ll keep posting/logging things.
