The dynamics of visibility, interaction, and public expression existed well before digital platforms.
Shared spaces once functioned as communication networks where individuals could engage, respond, and establish presence.
Modern systems reflect a continuation rather than an invention. 🏛️📜

Right now, I am giving myself 50-50 odds a post on #Bluesky will make it online today.
Advantage: #Mastodon, which is working just fine.
Place your bets, folks. 🎲

Teen brains are highly sensitive to reward and social feedback — far more than most adults remember.
Social media environments intensify those responses, creating patterns that can shape behavior, attention, and mental health over time. 🧠📱

Seeing a lot of discussion about how 'Mastodon' (they never mention the wider Fedi, just 'Mastodon') is failing to capture the greater zeitgeist and is falling behind the 'other services' in attracting (pick your poison):
- Journalists
- Influencers
- Regular people (WTF?)
And I'm here to tell you I DON'T FUCKING CARE. I don't think #SocialMedia should be a horse race. It should be a public space and not all public spaces are the same or attract the same people; whether dive bars or libraries.

I have not used Linked In in ages, so honestly I should delete the account while I can.

@Haste
The only factor that should guide journalists (or anyone, really) about where to post and engage is whether their intended audience is there. Period.
I'd bet that Democracy Now! doesn't post to Truth Social. When JD Couchfucker established an account on Bluesky, he became one of the most blocked accounts.
Are your peeps there? If not, don't waste your time.
