![]() Theoretically, you could use Medium or something, but let’s just lump that in with the other social media sites we’re here to talk about quitting, because Medium is for animals. If you want to make yourself a pro-level website and think of the blog as a side benefit, I like Squarespace. WordPress is good if you’re mainly concerned with the blog. There are tons of ways to make a blog, the best of which involve having a website for it. For those of you who don’t remember blogs, you’re reading one right now, and you’ve read millions of them since you joined Facebook without even realizing it. Fortunately, we can still post things for the public without social media, and people on social media can still see them! Isn’t that the best? People without social media accounts can also see them, in fact. What about public posts? Well, we’re all very important public intellectuals that’s why we use the internet, of course. It’s annoying to have to use two services, but iMessage is honestly too much more better-er for me to stop using it with my Apple friends merely for the sake of unification. In fact, for replacing large groups like they have on Facebook proper, WhatsApp is probably better. We Apple flunkies would probably prefer if you used iMessage, but WhatsApp is fine. Just don’t use Facebook Messenger for it. You folks do not need me to teach you how to text with your friends. Facebook just added horrible things we don’t want on top of our text messages and then drove us insane until we used it anyway. Has there ever been anything more pointless in the entire world? Not a single feature provides us with anything we wanted and didn’t already have. If I could somehow cause a piece of software to literally die in a literal fire, it would be Facebook Messenger. Are you someone I know who wants to tell me you have a newsletter or wants to make email contact? Just do it!. I use Buttondown, and it’s completely free.īut how can people find you by email or find out you have a newsletter? That is what personal websites like the one you are currently on are for: Contact or Subscribe. That lets people opt into or out of your email messages to their hearts’ content. For sharing things with people by email on a regular basis, its best to use a subscription newsletter service. You know that thing where everybody who got the same email as you is emailing you every five minutes, and there’s nothing you can do? That’s what visible-recipient animals do to people.īCC email blasts are okay for occasional personal announcements, but they still aren’t totally polite to your internet friends because they’re non-consensual. In fact, you and everyone you know on Facebook is almost certainly also using email-based calendars, and, obviously, Facebook is the unnecessary one.īut what happens when you want to send an update to a bunch of people via email? Well, you can just, you know, do it - assuming you PUT EVERY RECIPIENT IN BCC instead of leaving them visible like an animal. The best part about email accounts is that they usually come with calendars! That means you can have events, and you don’t even need Facebook! How about that. To use email to maintain internet friendships, just make sure you have an account you like. Who cares? You can have as many email accounts as you want. Too late for your current personal address? Start a new one. The key is to have a personal-use-only email address and only use it with things and people you actually care about. The only thing wrong with it is people not knowing how to use it politely for one-to-many communication. ![]() Email is the best communication method in basically every way. ![]()
