I don't feel comfortable using the oligarchy's social media sites, the ones that have harmed authors, children, and the planet.
And I don't have to while Bluesky is available.
"Bluesky is free for all users. And it is decentralized, which means it is incredibly improbable that anyone can come along and buy it to use as their own propaganda machine. " Steve Tetreault
Does this hurt my ability to write? No! Sell books -- I don't know? But it's ridiculous to write against them if I'm using their sites.
Imagine if all creators moved to an open-source social media platform? One of our collective powers is our purchasing power. I've been talking about this since 9/11, when we marched against a war we didn't want, begging people to end their addiction to oil. Some things only change in tiny increments, and it sure is frustrating.
So join me on BlueSky, Love8Rockets (my old Twitter handle), and say adios! to our oligarch-controlled media, one step at a time.
