Some new social media services have opened up. I am recommending to artists that they create accounts on each of the following three. Whether or not you plan to use all (or any) of these, you will have reserved your professional name.
Time will tell which social tools stay around, but these do look promising.
Bluesky Social opened to all in early 2024. The code, designed by Twitter founders, is open source and will federate like Mastodon. Some users are already working on bridge code to get Bluesky and Mastodon protocols interacting with each other.
The Mastodon fediverse is well established. Open source, no ads, multiple servers appealing to multiple communities.
You can create a Mastodon account easily through Vivaldi Social. The interface is clean. The Vivaldi server is in Iceland, so privacy standards are EU.
Threads launched in late 2023. Meta (Mark Zuckerberg empire) has Threads playing very nicely with Instagram (also Zuck). In time (Zuck says) Threads will integrate with the Mastodon fediverse.
