New on the blog: https://andy-bell.co.uk/how-im-using-the-fragments-of-social-media-now/ I think I’ve found the perfect balance: not trying to use all platforms the same, but leaning into what I think makes them good.

It&#8217;s been over a year since Elon Musk started the process of dismantling Twitter, which has resulted in lots of fragmentation. It&#8217;s also resulted in new platforms arriving and some even disappearing (cya later T2/Pebble). I think I&#8217;ve found the perfect balance, which I guess is an evolution of the holy trinity.
