Föderation EN Mo 04.11.2024 15:35:44 @canongatebooks I'm not an author, but I think you've asked a good question for those who've stayed on twitter. Thank you for posting it here. My project (software) used to have a twitter account. We took the decision to shut it down in 2022. We knew we'd be shutting out people still on there. But with Musk and the toxic nature of the network we knew it would be limited for us anyway. I've found interaction on here gives a better quality of engagement. Which I hope you also find here. |

I think there's something to be said for being in control over what you share and the people that subscribe to your account can see. Which in algorithmic feeds isn't guaranteed. It's the difference between broadcast and community, and Canongate Books has always given me the impression of a publishing house that values that. Especially in Edinburgh. |

There's a list of reasons why at https://growyourown.services/why-growing-your-own-services-is-a-good-idea/ |
