Twitter Is Dying – Where Can You Find Me?

As the title says, Twitter is on the brink of death, which leads to the question, where can you find me now on social media – should Twitter follow Myspace and Google+ into virtual oblivion? Well, there are a few options.

  • Mastodon: @[email protected]
    This is general vibing and crap-posting
  • Tumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/countzeroor
    This is some more long-form stuff – I might try Cohost once I get posting permissions, but I’ve been waiting in the queue for that for most of a week now so maybe that will happen?
  • Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/Count_Zero/
    This is the movies that I’ve watched as I’ve watched them – this can give some ideas of things I’ll be reviewing in the future
  • Trakt: https://trakt.tv/users/count_zero
    Trakt is similar to Letterboxd, but also does TV series, which works nicely for shows that aren’t necessarily released consecutively in ways I can watch them – like Doctor Who serials or episodes of GameCenter CX.
  • Goodreads (see sidebar)
    Pretty much the same for books and… as an alternative to Goodreads there is…
  • Storygraph: https://app.thestorygraph.com/profile/count_zero
    Storygraph is an alternative to Goodreads that is more independent, isn’t run by Amazon, has BIPOC creators, and also, I will say, handles audiobooks better (which is impressive, considering Amazon runs Goodreads and also Audible)
  • AniList: https://anilist.co/user/CountZero/
    I’m on a couple anime trackers, but I tend to engage a little more on either AniList or…
  • Kitsu.io: https://kitsu.io/users/CountZero
    Kitsu is set up really well for individual posting per chapter or episodes of anime, in ways that MAL isn’t necessarily great at (though MAL is improving some).
