@CliffWade I deleted my account around 2018. Got sick of the vitriol on all sides. About a year later, I started another one for professional reasons, but by that time it was harder to develop a sense of community, and I deleted that account in November. I’ve never missed it. I’ve used LinkedIn a lot but feel like it’s gone to shit in different ways. Just getting going on mastodon and working the learning curve.

This may be premature, but I'm feeling compelled to post this #introduction. I'm Bob Merberg and am new to Mastodon. I'm determined to get into a groove here, but the learning curve feels steep.I deleted my Facebook account 10 years ago, my main Twitter account 5 years ago, and my secondary Twitter account in November. In the past, I've been active on #linkedin, but I hate what it's become. For me, now, it's just a bad habit.I have varied interests. My prof'l background is as a recovering employee wellness manager. Now I'm self-employed, mostly creating #content. I'm a #writer at heart.My social media and web posts tend to mostly be about #work life and #labor. I have a user's interest in #AI. I'm not into memes, but may post the occasional #caturday pic.I'm a #ukulele upstart and enjoy lots of different kinds of #music.If you have suggestions for who/what I should follow, I'd welcome them!

@aijooyoom Thanks for the input.I tested Ghost before I started my Substack. I'm not inclined to say one is better than the other — it depends on the individual author's goals and model. For me, Substack is a better fit.I'll take a look at Writefreely and writeas to educate myself about them, but I'm satisfied with Substack. I'm thinking by "non-free" you're talking about freedom rather than paid vs. unpaid? I haven't observed any issues with Substack in that regard.
