Too Many to Manage
Gabz:
The chatty-chat-social media landscape has become a little overwhelming, for me, since Twitter’s collapse. I find myself juggling and managing;
- Mastodon
- Discord
- Micro.blog
- Telegram (sometimes)
- WhatsApp (rarely)
- iMessage
- Wavelength (newcomer)
- Substack notes (newcomer)
- Too many spaces that’ll keep my attention away.
The only reason Wavelength seems somewhat appealing is that in any group that I am part of, no one sees or would have my phone number, unlike Telegram or WhatsApp, as far as I know. Still, I am not sure I want to manage this many things.
The competition for chat apps has began to get quite saturated to say the least. Like most things many people will pick where most of their people are and let the rest fall to the wayside. For me Mastodon is the biggest one, but I am using 3-5 other ones to keep up with everything going on in this space.
Which reminds me, if you want to follow me you can do so here:
