Leave Meta’s Platforms

This is why I moved my articles and blogging to ghost, and not substack:

Want help shifting from substack to ghost? Let me know.

I chose a new home for my blogging and articles:

I'm migrating my articles and blogging, and you can kind of follow my process.

I just posted this, which includes this line: "Building your goals in someone else’s sandbox alone is not ideal, a little like building a castle on sand."

It’s been a month since I began my transition from big tech systems – marked by this banner on my Facebook account: “I’m more and more elsewhere…”

Now building on Mastodon, Threema, Pixelfed etc. See my new blog & initiative for context: https://techtonicshift.vivaldi.net

Any advice for me and my fellow followers from Facebook on how to effectively rebuild initial networks here (or across the Fediverse) is very welcome!

The developments on Bluesky in the past few days are wild! I've never witnessed such influx of followers on any platform before. Obviously, post-election, there is a massive exodus from Twitter and a significant number of people seem to be finding refuge on Bluesky. Digital migration of enormous proportions. Very interesting developments, which I thought you may be interested in

1 year since we left #X / #Twitter

Our move to #Mastodon wasn't just a platform switch. It was a leap into #OpenScience in action.

We found a chance to align our communication w/ our values: transparent, meaningful, dialogue-driven.

Thanks, -community, for this wonderful experience. We learn a lot here.

We hope to encourage other academic institutions to join.
