I'll try to be more active here instead of elsewhere.

@margaret This place is far from perfect, but we can work to make it better, since we the users have more agency. Happy to see you back here!

@samitchdoo yeah, to be blunt, that's what's kept me on instagram and bluesky. I'm not going to quit them entirely, though i might when they force me to show ID. It'll be an interesting contest between my stubbornness and my desire for my career to continue.
@margaret Yeah the need to be where the people are is pretty much the fediverse's Achilles' heel in regards to getting people on here. The fact that there were (and still are to an extent) very loud HOA-types during the Twitter exodus didn't help with getting people to sign up here either.
I do think the fediverse is the best *for me*. I think there is a way forward for making it a place for the folk who rely on social media for their jobs as well; I just don't know what that way is.

I'll try to be more active here instead of elsewhere. I concede the cyberpunks were right and we shoulda been bolstering decentralized infrastructure in the first place.
If I follow you elsewhere, and/or we're in any of the same unions (IWW, WGAE, or SFWA) let me know and I'll follow you back?
@margaret welcome back!

@margaret I'm on an extended social media break, but popping in to say it's good to see you here!

@margaret
How about following back a Penumbra City Game Master
Happy to see you here either way! And don't be discouraged by what looks like lower engagement here, it is more organic and authentic engagement. Quality over quantity! -

@margaret didn’t realize you were here, good news!

It *is* possible to get steady financial support here, as an artist, for any industry. While I can't *talk* to other people on mainstream networks, I try to follow others via their websites, indie blogs that blog about niche industry things, and or Bluesky RSS feeds. My website is my hub. My website is far more important than the Fediverse for my writing, but it is nice to see you over here! I know how it can be online! @margaret @samitchdoo

Last reply for the morning, And you can bridge to BSky anyway, which is what I do, so if you look me up over there, you will find me, and I can continue using this account over here. search for and follow @bsky.brid.gy in the fediverse. @margaret @samitchdoo

@margaret are you ditching substack, or do you still love having your fans material support fascists because they pay you?
