Boy - this post led me down a rabbit hole! It got me so worked up I had to write a post for my blog. I rushed it as I'm meant to be job hunting - then I came back and edited it - then I thought I'd better edit my original post here - and then I had browser compatibility issues with the Brave shields turned on - and now it's all too hard and I'm just going to post a link!
Anyway - I salute you and your efforts to continue with Twitter / X. There are things I don't like about it but it is still vastly bigger than Bluesky. I do wonder where it is all heading - as you will see in my post. I will probably stay with both - but have limited time in the next few months.
Thank you for this! I’ve been thinking I should subscribe to X, my primary motivations being for visibility and monetization, but your essay gives me several more good reasons!
I am going to start publishing my own Substack newsletter in late February or early March, and I will be discussing topics that may be of interest to you, so I hope you will find it worthwhile to subscribe. In the meantime, I’m on X: @fromlaurelway
