Storygraph and that Twitter Shite
19/11/24 00:29
I’ve been tweeting a lot less lately on both my Zevonesque and RealeLiverpool accounts as its death by a thousand cuts (many more really) continues. It’s obviously a lot less friendly or useful than it used to be and many people have either stopped going on it, or using it—or left it completely. For now I think I’ll just stop using it in the hope that Musk sells it to someone who cares about what it was/could be (now that he’s got what he wants out of it for his MAGA lot). It’s probably beyond rescuing to be fair and it’s the hope that kills us, isn’t it?
I created Bluesky accounts for both names last year with the hope that maybe it could do the Twitter thing in a better way. It’s taken a year (yes, it turns out I was an early adopter) but things seem to be taking off on it, with sports clubs and newspapers leaving Twitter for Bluesky. So maybe it has a damn good chance. I’ve been using the Zevonesque account a fair bit, but haven’t touched the RealeLiverpool one. Sadly I want to use it, but I can’t log onto it and I can’t remember what email address I used to set it up—so I can’t reset the password. Bummer! Fingers crossed I can sort it out, or else I’ll have to register a slightly different named one in its stead I guess.
In other I.T./App news I’ve moved on to Storygraph from Goodreads. It seems a nice simple App and works well—and on Android as well as AppleOS. Exporting all my data from my years of using Goodreads worked quickly and seamlessly—as far as I can tell. I like the visuals from the pie charts and the selection from those pie pieces works well too. It’s only been a day or two… but farewell Musk… and farewell Bezos. When I say farewell I mean…
Hope to see some more of you guys on Bluesky and maybe Storygraph too (haven’t looked at the social side of that yet, perhaps there isn’t one).
