Anonup is raising interesting issues about social media for me. It appears to be remarkable well "weeded" of trolls and bots. The audience is high level, loving, and erudite. There's none of the anger of Gab or idiocy of Twatter.
I post some things to Gab because I don't feel they do much for people here (e.g. article links with a pull quote). Some stuff like my photos it would be nice to have a mechanism to push to both. Anonup is like your peers and bosses are watching, so you had better put out quality stuff.
The one downside I see of a niche social media platform is you don't so easily get to promote people and content from obscurity as a "big name". Once I had 100k+ followers on Twatter I could magically direct attention to videos etc. For someone who had sung a special song, say, and put it on YouTube those thousand views would make their day and week.
Sometimes quality and quantity are in tension; other times not. One public square, or many?
ive mentioned before in another line similar to this, that AU is my place to rest, recover, reload. i find peace here and the right topics to discuss and push my thinking even further. the other forums can be broadly informative or mainstream enough to keep the pulse on newer or normie challenges, but they often turn dramatic or repetative. we were all there at one point, so i think there is still value in supporting and sharing what we’ve learned to keep ALL vibes high. But different locations resonate with everyone differently. many pubs, one goal
