Creators & Consumers

It’s hard out here for content creators & consumers right now with these platforms…

The recent shifts are difficult to reckon with for those of us who have used these spaces to share photo + writing based content & foster community for years.

The recent shifts are more media & less social. They don’t help us find community, diversify what we see, or press into what’s good for us.

This a good time to remember that the responsibility has never been on these platforms in the first place. But if you don’t actively seek out what you want to consume, these platforms WILL consume you.

You will be discipled by social media, for better or worse.

So here’s your reminder to do more discovering of what works for your creativity + online community & less chasing what works for Instagram.

Also, reminder that if you create valuable, save & store it in multiple spaces. Our intellectual property isn’t meant to live on somebody else’s platform. It just takes up space here for the time being. and deserves to be saved forever and repurposed elsewhere as we so desire.
