Is BlueSky fundamentally different from other big social media platforms? How would social media change if we moved away from major for-profit companies to more user-controlled businesses platforms? I know BlueSky is a PBC (public benefit corporation, required to benefit the public good) and is open source and ‘decentralized’, compared to Twitter, instagram, FB, etc which are very profit oriented. So the company and the platform structure seem fundamentally fairly different from the existing massively popular social media apps. Plus it’s a …

Advice on website platforms for selling weed-related goods This isn’t a promotional post, I just wanted to get some advice from fellow weed-related small bussiness owners. Basically, I started on Etsy with girly stoner bundles (papers, grinders, pre-rolls). It’s going great but said website has been removing my listings due to prohibited item restrictions. I’ve gotten around it by using different words …

What are your social media platforms of choice for 2025? I admit I have been out of touch with all the social media platforms out there ever since I medically retired in 2016. It was so much easier when I kept Facebook for friends and family, Twitter to bitch and vent and LinkedIn for business. Now I have a tiny Etsy store and YouTube channel and I’m hoping to reach customers and viewers through socia…

Platforms for “slow” shops? I’m a photographer that doesn’t sell prints but rather I sell my photos pre-set into picture frames that I find, restore, and build. Because of this, each “item” is unique and people really seem to like that. I frequently do local market pickups which is nice but I’d like to have a broader reach and have a place to point people to look at my in…

Are there still any platforms in which is worth to post as an artist? I’m trying not to make this a whole rant about how much I hate current social media, especially Instagram. (believe me, some of my artist friends know how much hatred I have for this app now) The thing is, I used to really enjoy it, especially for the feeling of “an art community” in which I would spend hours looking through the hashtags of fana…

Do you put out the same content across all your platforms? Or does specific content go on specific platforms? Is your motto, the more eyes that see your message the better? Or do you publish specific messages on specific platforms? I’m not talking about creating different accounts on each platform for different purposes, I am referring to your organization that has one account per major platform. In other words, I can tailor a message to a platform (i.e…

Platforms to promote social media networks About four years ago, I used a platform that automatically published and engaged with other accounts (liking, commenting, and responding to DMs). I simply selected the region and niche. This platform could handle up to three accounts, but, unfortunately, it was discontinued. I’m wondering if anyone is aware of a similar platform that’s available…

Too late in the year to switch platforms? A few months ago I launched a marketplace using squarespace. Not sure if there are a lot of squarespace users on here but it’s really not the best for ecommerce, although I was drawn to it for how easy it was to customize design. I’m uqickly starting to outgrow it’s capabilities and feel like I am leaving some money on the table so I was thinkin…
