[Michlib-l] The Website Formerly Known as Twitter

[Pank, Ed]

I recently deleted our Twitter account. Not because of the controversy but because we do not have the time or staff to create unique content on Twitter. We exclusively concentrate on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. At one point we had Tumblr, GoodReads and Pinterest. All gone for the same reason.

We stopped engaging with Twitter as well, but we haven't deleted the account...yet.

I'm very curious if anyone is looking into alternatives (running a Mastodon<https://joinmastodon.org/> instance or looking into Bluesky<https://bsky.app/> or even Threads<https://threads.com/>).

Hey Michlib-L,

TLN is taking a general poll to find out if libraries are still planning to stay on Twitter or planning to exit with the recent changes that have been happening. Let me know what you all think as you, I'm sure, are also having these conversations.
