Social media meltdown and my blog

When starting my LarryInFishers.com news blog in 2012, it took a few months to setup a Twitter account for the blog, which I still use (@larryinfishers).  I also post links to stories posted here on my personal Facebook page.

However, I began to see that Twitter has been going through some strange changes.  Everything hit the fan a few days ago when Twitter started limiting the number of Twitter posts one could access if you have not paid the fee to be verified.

I saw months ago that Twitter was changing its business model.  Several months ago I began posting on Mastodon and post.news just in case Twitter melted down completely.  You can find me on either of those Twitter-like sites with my user name (@larryinfishers).

Just days ago, Meta (the Facebook and Instagram firm) has started a phone app called “Threads.”  It looks a lot like Twitter but promises to be different.  So, I started posting links to my posts on this blog on Threads…my user name there is “larryinfishers2012.”  (2012 is the year I started the blog)

Threads is, so far, only a phone app but expect a version for desktop, laptops and other methods to access the site soon.

So, I am doing my best to keep up with the changes in social media, always a tricky thing to do.  Thanks to all you you reading this blog.  I appreciate each and every one of you!
