Reminder to people that for 24 years now I have actively maintained scalzi.com, for many reasons, not least of which is so that I do not have to be at the whims of a monomaniacal billionaire for my online presence. RSS or email options available!

I am also currently available at jscalzi on instagram and tumblr, and as "Scalzi" on facebook and flickr and ello and mastodon. But, again, I was on my own site long before any of these existed, and will be on my own site when all these (and Twitter!) are digital dust.

This is where I again strongly encourage everyone who does any sort of creative thing - writing, music, art, etc - to make and maintain their own site. This era of social media is ending (or at least, likely changing radically). Get your own space, so people can always find you.

Thanks for the reminder. I think I need a break from Twitter and I’d hate to go into Scalzi withdrawal.

I'm super curious if RSS is going to make a comeback when /if people realize that it's totally curated by the user.
I miss Google Reader so much. My feed was EXACTLY what I wanted to see, and if one site went down, didn't make it, whatever, it didn't impact the overall feed.

Finally, being too lazy to cancel the auto-renew on my domain might come in handy

I like the RSS option for your site since you post regularly. Makes for a nice surprise when I check feeds in my email client during the day.

I'm not *quite* ready to quit the bird site, but I'm laying the groundwork. One step was creating a bookmarks folder called "From Twitter." Whatever is one of the first sites that got saved there.

thanks for the RSS reminder. I still prefer RSS and for whatever reason hadn't followed your blog feed. I fixed that tonight!
