More on social networks
=======================
As I wrote here last time, I deleted my Mastodon account. Some nice
people [1] have invited me to try the twtxt [2]. But I am not sure if I
actually want to join an another such network. Even if it is
decentralized and far from overcrowded.
I will probably try to keep my twtxt.txt [3] file updated for some time
and will see how the things are going. I already have tried to use the
curl(1) for downloading people's updates. But I am not going to do to
register to any "social network" site whatever it is easy and
decentralized. Anyway I must say that "tooting" by issuing the echo(1)
is something I have started to like nice:
echo -e "$(gdate -Is)\How a great way to send updates!" >> ~/html/twtxt.tx
I am still thinking about other stuff. I after a perido of 2018-2020 I
have started to use my Flickr account once more. It still seems to be
the place where people (non-IT and non-geek ones) expect my pictures.
I have tried the SDF gallery but it's relatively old and ugly software
and seems to be unpopular. And I have strong feeling that pictures save
here don't look right - it may be some sort of compression or
something. I thought that this gallery would be of good use for me as
it was once accessible form my SGI O2 but after some time (SL update?)
it is no longer the case.
I don't want to use the Instagram/Pixelfed stuff. Actually I have and
account on both but it is sort of "read only" use - I follow a few
people who tend to announce new stuff (usually pictures, of course)
here.
