Great series on Threads from a small publisher on the destruction of Twitter and what it means for them.

• To engage properly in these spaces, you need to enjoy being there.
• Engagement is tumbling (so perhaps fewer people are enjoying being there.)
• No other space has emerged as a replacement.
• There is an upside, and these spaces can be hugely valuable.

I am not currently using Twitter or any diaspora service, although you may see me parked on them as either @bobbie or @bobbiejohnson. I don’t trust the ones set up by people who have gotten it wrong before (see Threads, Bluesky) while federated services like Mastodon just aren’t there yet and I don’t want to invest time until it’s clear whether any of them will create a space that is fun for me to take part in again. So instead, I’ve been favoring LinkedIn for work-related stuff and the blog as a repository for my thoughts.
