Cory Doctorow, author of 'enshittification' and 'reverse centaur', on the topic of posting to lots of diff social media:
" So, why do I do all this?
The more people I reach, the more it moves.
When I left Boing Boing, I lost access to a freestanding way of communicating. Though I had popular Twitter and Tumblr accounts, they are at the mercy of giant companies with itchy banhammers and arbitrary moderation policies.
I'd long been a fan of the POSSE – Post Own Site, Share Everywhere – ethic, the idea that your work lives on platforms you control, but that it travels to meet your readers wherever they are. "

If there were a service that would mirror to twitter, bluesky, mastodon, the fediverse, every niche art website, a letter in someone's mailbox, and a banner in the sky, I'd be interested in it xD
For now I use postybirb when I don't forget...
My only worry is that, if you mirror your posts to every platform, keeping up with replies or notifications for each one is annoying. I just make sure to link ways to contact me on each platform and hope someone reaches out through one of those. But even now I feel like I'm spread out between way too many messaging apps. Simplex, signal, tg, vector xD, I need an all in one super duper app
