🔗 I’ve slimmed down my social links and am going to concentrate on the ones on which I find the greatest engagement and actually upload content to.

So, I’ve deleted links to my Youtube, Behance and Artstation accounts.

My primary ‘home’ is Mastodon.

    @alexandra Yes, I think it's some kind of Curated Social Media Fatigue.

    Congrats on the photo success!

    @andycarolan the older I get the lighter my online-presence portfolio.

    Mastodon is home, with Glass Instagram for photos. I’d liked to have included Pixelfed for photos too but there’s little to no engagement, so it’s fallen off my radar for now. Hopefully in time it’ll gain popularity.

    @purplelime Yeah, ain't nobody got time for too many socials lol

    I wish I could get to like Instagram again, but I found engagement over there died off. I don't really take many photos, and posting here scratches that itch. Perhaps I don't need anything more.

    Would like to see Pixelfed gain some ground for sure!

    @andycarolan when Instagram made it clear it wasn’t focussed on photography anymore I decided not to put in the effort.

    Also, engagement which had been so high for years suddenly dropped off a cliff. Unless I post something relating to Apple, Nintendo or other big brands then I can expect few views. It demonstrates just how seriously IG focuses on brands.

    IG is an afterthought now, sadly. I keep it only for viewing friends feeds.

    @purplelime I stopped posting there when IG became a shop lol. IIRC, they put a shop button where new post used to be. No idea where it is now.

    Very true about big brands. If you don't mention those, there's zero engagement.

    @andycarolan oh yes, Reels must be a more lucrative business for them now.

    I browsed Threads very briefly on launch day then deleted as I was in an insufferable influencer echo chamber. They’re almost as bad in spoken word as they are in photo/video which is quite an achievement, haha.

    @purplelime ROFL "insufferable influencer echo chamber" I love that definition!

    @andycarolan Good choice I think 🤔

    @DimitryJacobs It was getting too much to maintain. I feel that it's better to stick to one or two platforms, than be spread too thinly across many.

    DimitryJacobs,

    @andycarolan I’am using Mastodon as my main Social Communication and Discord follow some Dev / Communities , it works fine for me

    @DimitryJacobs Discord is also very good isn't it. Im in a few communities over there too.

    DimitryJacobs,

    @andycarolan I like 👍🏻 it indeed various channels and way to bookmark 🔖 or favourite ❤️ some information

    tomk,

    @andycarolan GOOD! I love it here haha. It’s just enough and I know what to expect.
