I understand this is giving my new book away for free, but honestly, have at it! If any podcasters or bloggers or people wanna review Pass the Salt, or anybody just wants to grab it for free, here you go! This folder will be deleted in 2 months, so have fun with it! If you like it, support my writing financially.

Publisher: Compassiviste Publishing.

Pass the Salt details Robert’s time on the dating scene in 2010s Chicago. Get ready to meet the brightest and best from the online dating world, including The Fare Fan, The Smooth Catfish, and the dashing Richard, who’s better company than Robert’s humming fridge.

My non-scientific observation of the major social media outlets people use for

It looks like some people are either sticking or have migrated back to twitter.

Blue sky is a bit diffuse and quiet.

Masto is also pretty quiet! Not a lot of discussion, just broadcast.

Linked in seems to have had an uptick in use, fairly bombastic "I'm delighted to announce-y" but it is useful.

Tiktok archaeology is still a bit siloed and a lot of the major players promote tours or discuss news.

@clmorgan Maybe & & the new abilities to consolidate comments may bring discussion together again?

I have been pondering the fragmentation of comments here on Mastodon (different readers see different parts of a discussion), & more importantly their impermanence (we can go to "original page" to see all, but replies may be purged). Having a copy of record on a site under personal control might be good. Fellow-historians, any thoughts or models?

Made some massive changes to The Book Ring since the last time I've shared it here! Here's what's new.

• New responsive layout
• Member Directory page
• Post submission form for members to upload posts on what they're currently reading. Form includes their name/website to encourage web visitors to their sites.
• Members "Currently Reading" section with RSS feed!

More to come! ♥

Are Mastodon users really happy with thread behavior? So, for example, this post had a lot of replies, but even if you look at it on the original instance you can't see any of them. You can see my reply to the post on my server, but it is no longer connected to the original post. So it is often impossible to read old threads (& of course even to see all replies on a current one).

@jsadow Very late reply but yes the same realisation disconcerted me greatly. Many of us would like to have a permanent record of at least some posts & of complete conversations! & the new abilities to consolidate comments seem the way to go?
As a non-techie nervous of IT complexity, I'd love to see a wider range of models to follow, including illustrated threads & styled (& simplest possible resource-light HTML/CSS?) Recommendations please, @histodons & ?
