The Bluesky algorithm drains my soul like no other site. I feel duty bound to post the new book on there but it is so depressing to experience total tumbleweed! I think I will delete my account there in 2027. It is too demotivating. My newsletter, Mastodon, LinkedIn and Instagram have been great during this first round of book promo. Facebook has been good enough.

@tansy@wandering.shop Bluesky has always been destined for enshittification, it seems. I'm sorry your posts weren't doing so well over there. But fear not! You have the Fediverse! WE will be your algorithm!

@tansy@wandering.shop A newsletter is always the best because you can keep the adresses for yourself. If any platform stops or kills your account, you are still connected. I'm too on Bsky but only to read some accounts that I don't find here. But it's more and more slop. I wish you success for your book, especially with what sells best: Real life recommendations and word of mouth.
