@BeAware I was very active on #Threads, but this summer, after one year of use, I slowed my efforts on the platform.
My posts no longer receive the volume of reactions that they once did because their algorithm is such that you must be extremely active to hold your position of being seen. I just don't have time for that. I want to post whenever I want, frequently or infrequently, but still be seen. That's not achievable with @threads.
Substack has decided to be slightly less hypocritical -- though no more coherent about what its policy actually is, which is the norm in social media.
This will likely defuse the Nazi bar issue for semi-critics who were looking for reasons to stick with the platform.
My position hasn't changed: I won't renew the paid subscriptions for newsletters that remain there, and am unsubscribing from the rest.
Newsletter authors: I am paying for subscriptions on other platforms.
So @element took part in the European Police Congress in Berlin, had a booth and presentation there, and is proudly posting on the fedi about it.

I’m currently paying them $11.90 a month to host my homeserver on their EMS platform.
My payment in April will have been the last.
It’s one thing to provide FLOSS comms to the government. It’s another to proudly support our fucked up police system.
