Feb. 20th, 2025 12:33 pmI'm trying to work out how to habituate myself to using Dreamwidth, since what usually happens is that I post entries haphazardly, don't get into the habit, and so all too readily just forget about the whole thing. Facebook is the one exception to that and I'm not exactly sure why except that there is one characteristic it shares with Dreamwidth, the ability to write at length. I don't always want to write at length, but I don't like the constrictions of a maximum number of characters. So I suppose it is probable that the reason I lose interest in so many social media platforms is that I don't want to be tied to how much I am allowed to say. It is this relative generosity on length that makes me think Dreamwidth might (just might) prove a viable alternative to Zuckerberg's Trump-worshipping, no-fact-checking, despicable little regime. So, I thought for a while I would mirror my posts to both platforms just to see how it goes. If Dreamwidth does prove appealing, then in time it will be easy to just start running down the Facebook posts.
One last question to those who have been here longer than me: is there a Dreamwidth app? It would be much more convenient to call it up on my phone or tablet if I didn't have to keep logging in every time.
