Just a heads up, I am going to be ceasing my usage of X/Twitter/whatever, which means comic notifications will no longer be sent to that platform. Facebook, Tumblr, and Blue Sky postings will continue for the present time.

Good. Xitter is the second most evil platform
Xitter is pronounced “Shitter” I assume?
I thought it was pronounced ‘Hitler.’
Apparently, yeah. I’m more partial to “ex-Twitter,” if only because the guy in charge doesn’t like the word “twitter” for whatever reason, and keeping the original name around feels like being a little sliver under his skin.
Honestly, who takes the kind of brand recognition that Twitter had — a simple bird icon, a particular color, an entire groundbreaking format that most people could be relied upon to know about even if they didn’t use it — and trades it in for a single letter, let alone the letter most tied to (a) edgy teenagers and (b) X-rated content???
(After the “you must agree to let AI steal your posts” announcement, I started deleting a bit of my content there, but got distracted pretty quickly. It’s a lot of content, and I don’t want to just outright destroy whatever memories I might have. But seeing the site burning down around me like a computer suffering technological Alzheimer’s is just… difficult to handle objectively.)
Only the second?
Truth social is probably the first
a variation on 99 bottles of beer?
I appreciate you ending support for X. No support for Nazis.
Thank you for the heads up, Dave! I haven’t known how to reach you since I left both Facebook and Twitter, ages ago.
I’d like to suggest Counter.Social – where I’m at now, except the population there wouldn’t give you the reach of something like bluesky. I’ve bookmarked your page though so I can check it periodically.
Also loving that song. Poor Pohl must be bored to tears with all the bricks he’s had to make! <3
i’d suggest a mastodon, myself
