The social media my blog –as well as some other sites I publish in– is pushed to will soon stop receiving updates
For many years, I have been using the dlvr.it service to echo my online activity to where more people can follow it. Namely, I write in the following sources:
- My blog (where this content is being posted to) → RSS
- Mostly academic publications I send to my university’s repository (including conference presentations and the like) → RSS
- Videos posted to my YouTube channel (mostly my classes but some other material as well) → RSS
Via dlvr.it’s services, all those posts are “echoed” to Gwolfwolf in X (Twitter) and to the Gunnarwolfi page in Facebook. I use neither platform as a human (that is, I never log in there).
Anyway, dlvr.it sent me a mail stating they would be soon (as in, the next few weeks) cutting their free tier. And, although I value their services and am thankfulfor their value so far, I am not going to pay for my personal stuff to be reposted to social media.
So, this post’s mission is twofold:
- If you follow me via any of those media, you will soon not be following me anymore 😉
- If you know of any service that would fill the space left by
dlvr.it, I will be very grateful. Extra gratefulness
points if the option you suggest is able to post to accounts in
less-propietary media (i.e. the Fediverse). Please tell me by mail
(
gwolf@gwolf.org).
Oh! Forgot to mention: Of course, my blog will continue to be appear in Planet Debian, Blografía, and any decent aggregator that consumes my RSS.
