Social Media Outreach

[Ed Hurst]

I know you all shared my disappointment with Substack. Just when it seemed we were getting some attention, we were shut down. And from what I’ve heard, Facebook is now so restrictive that even our tamest teachings would get us kicked out. You can use it for purely personal contacts, but there’s no way I could represent the community there. Is there some other outlet we could test? I know that whatever we try, it will be a bit of a time-sink for whoever actually does it. Still, I can’t help wondering if there’s something we could still use.

Twitter was an idea I had floated before. I don't know if a verified account would make it better or worse for our type of content. Verification probably blocks you from being unnecessarily canceled, but you need to provide a phone number (I think) to complete it.

There's also a few Twitter clones that are worth checking out:
Gab
Truth Social
Bluesky
Threads

Gab and Truth feel honeypot-ish to me, but maybe not in the way that could target us.
