Find me on social networks

In addition to my little-used blog on this site (complete with dusty RSS feed), I have presences on some external social networks and other services.

  • Mastodon – Mastodon is the federated answer to that one site which used to be reasonably fun a long time ago, and it’s the social media thing which matters to me most nowadays.
  • Bluesky – Never really used this much, and am not all that inclined to change that while it’s failing this hard on human rights.
  • YouTube and Vimeo – Moving pictures with sound!
  • SoundCloud – Videos without the distracting imagery!
  • Discord – It’s IRC with a coat of trendy and proprietary paint which the kids these days seem to like. You can search for me there at the username Rob_T_Firefly.
  • Lemmy – A federated link and discussion aggregator I’ve begun playing with since Reddit went spiraling down the tubes.
  • Steam – I’m an anti-DRM activist who doesn’t do online multiplayer gaming, so here’s my massively-hypocritical presence on an online-gaming and DRM service.

(I deleted my Twitter and Reddit accounts. I’ve never been a user of Facebook or other Meta services. Centralized social monoliths are no longer the most fun; the future is federated. Take a moment every now and then to question and reassess the place of all of this stuff in your life.)

If you’d like to email me, you are welcome to do so here. I love email!
