My latest @PolicyViz newsletters with thoughts on dataviz twitter, new podcasts, and stuff I'm reading and watching. Pitter patter, folks, this is a good newsletter.
I've found myself facing the same dilemma. I'm just mentally/emotionally drained with the social media that I have and I'm not sure I have the energy to rebuild my community on another platform.
The problem? My "brand" is largely because of my presence on Twitter and I'm worried I'll lose that when X goes under.
I know you mentioned that you're not going to use a new social media platform but I've seen many Datavizers (is that a word?) on Mastodon and that's where I've seen the most interesting conversations of all the social media platforms I use.
Or, you could use Medium for writting and seeing how the conversations there goes.
Good luck!
(FYI, I'm not using DeadBird anymore...don't find it useful)
Thanks! I tried Mastodon in its first iteration, but it lacked the broader discussions that I really enjoyed. I may try opening Chats on Substack, but still not sure. Thanks for the advice, though!
