With the big options in social media showing themselves to be buttwarts, people are scrambling for another option. So in addition to the FB, you can find me at MeWe and Parler.
MeWe - seems like it's going to be a good alternative to FB. I mean, once more people migrate over and I find my base. I have around 200 followers on FB, and not nearly that many yet on MW (I'm sitting at 14 as of yesterday morning). But there's hope. MeWe promises to not censor stuff or block stuff or impede your reach. So basically, I hope it'll actually show my posts to people who follow me and actually show me posts of the people I follow.
Parler - this seems like it's an alternative to Twitter - with parlays instead of tweets and echoes instead of shares. It's open to everyone, but it seems like a conservative safe-haven at the moment. Not sure how much marketing I'll be able to do there. It doesn't seem like the place to do that right now. It seems very serious. Might be a good place to market Blink and Unequal.
I've also heard of something called Gab, which I'm looking into. Of course, the main stream media complex has deemed that one a place for all the bad white people to hang out. We'll see.
Like I said, I'm still on Facebook. Unless I want to shoot myself in the ass with regard to my publishing career, I have to have a presence there. But from what I've seen over the past week, the exodus is on.
That said, I also still have a Pinterest account and I have one on Instagram that I can't use because I don't have a smartphone. I still have a Twitter account, but only so no one else can claim besanderson as their twitter handle. And, as always, you can reach me here and via email. Like FB, I can't give up all the Google-based stuff without hurting myself. Although I am trying to shift my internet searches over to Duck Duck Go.
Anyway, that's me. There are options out there, if you're so inclined. See ya around the webz!
