While I have a few accounts on various forums and social networks, I do not advertise them on my website. A social media account should lead people to your website, but not vice versa. If you want to follow me or subscribe for updates, that is why I provide RSS feeds.
If you think you’ve seen me on a service not mentioned on my contact page, it’s either an abandoned/forgotten account or a fake.
In particular, you will not find me actively participating on any of these platforms, if I still have accounts there at all:
- Goodreads
- Threads
- YouTube
- TikTok
- Nextdoor
- Medium
- Substack
- BlueSky
- Nostr
- Farcaster
- Hacker News
- Snapchat
- Stack Exchange
- Gab
- 4chan
- Agora Road
(If you’re using a real computer, and not a smartphone, hover over each item for additional details.)
Why do I refuse to use these platforms? It’s simple: the older I get, the less patience I find myself able to muster for groupthink incubators like the above. If your online presence depends on having accounts on these platforms, you deserve whatever misery befalls you online.
