current status of social media

  • Facebook is for finding a local business or for sharing pictures of your kids with faraway cousins.
  • Instagram is also for sharing photos with cousins, and for making photos pretty with contrast and other editing features. And to see pretty pictures from around the world.
  • Tumblr is for sharing love of different media and hobbies. 
  • Threads is for weird personal stuff.
  • BlueSky is for anti-Trump politics plus some disparate Twitter remnants.
  • Now and then I'll log onto X to see Jonah Goldberg's dogs. 
  • I hope Google doesn't delete Blogger like they did with Google Photos. My posts go back to 2006.
