New Social Media Accounts

~ Veselin

I’m now on Bluesky and TheStoryGraph.

Bluesky is the new Twitter with everyone seemingly moving there but not really. I want to migrate out of Twitter for some reasons:

  • Twitter doesn’t let me publicize my blog there
  • My thousands of followers there seem to be inactive and never click
  • Twitter seems to be filtering out content that contains outbound links

Two of these do not apply to Bluesky. My user is dzver.bsky.social. I’m not fully committed to the migration but I added Bluesky to my phone. I wouldn’t dare to do that with Twitter.

TheStoryGraph is an alternative to Goodreads. It’s worse in terms of books availability but:

  • It has modern charts
  • Their reading challenge is real
  • It seems to be built by people who read books for people who read books

You could not hope to see anything like that on Goodreads.

Here’s my profile. Getting 1-2 friends there will help me explore the social aspects of this service and see if I can realistically migrate out of Goodreads in the future.

    1. Well, it’s too early to say if it’s okay. It seems to work well but it would need books, ability to add books, friends to find and add me, and who knows what.

  2. “…It’s worse in terms of books availability”

    In the early days of Goodreads, before the Amazon acquisition, people were adding books there by themselves, the readers. I remember adding few Bulgarian books myself =)

  4. I added a blueSky account for the blog. I am not planning on getting any followers there, really (besides you, so thanks for following me back!). I am still struggling to get followers on Threads. It seems pretty moot, though.
