alias_sqbr

I never clicked with twitter, so I was pretty quick to jump ship after Elon took over and try out some alternatives, namely bluesky and mastodon. I liked them both more in some ways, but my timelines were achingly quiet which made the experience pretty dull.

But then I got frustrated at having like ONE follower at each of my game dev accounts and looked around for ways to meet at least enough people to feel like I wasn't posting into the void, and that quickly gained me enough mutuals and fun people to follow that I now genuinely enjoy checking my timelines, especially on bluesky. And then Twitter was banned in Brazil and a whooole lot of Brazilians joined bluesky, which caused the site to strain for a few days but now it's even more vibrant, though obviously some of that is temporary.

I'll put more thoughts under a cut but if you just want to see my accounts here's sqbr at bluesky and sqbr on mastodon.

There's been a very Strikethrough-esque purging of accounts on tumblr recently. Apple removed the app because there was too much Inappropriate Content so tumblr used a highly unreliable automated process to remove accounts, and enough people have been hit that's there's a general air of "maybe this is going to be it for me and/or the site".

People have been posting links to their other social media, so! From most to least used:
I'm here(*) on dreamwidth at alias_sqbr and sqbr
Twitter: sqbr
Mastodon: sqbr at im-in.space
Pillowfort: sqbr

And while I'm listing things:
Tumblr: alias-sqbr and sqbr
AO3: sqbr
DeviantArt: sqbr

I also have Serious Game Developer etc accounts but I don't publicly link those to this pseudonym.

(*)Which is to say, I am making this post on dreamwidth, but this line is aimed at those reading the livejournal and tumblr crossposts, because anyone reading on dreamwidth probably knows my dw username already ;)
