@jk very much agree

I get an email whenever someone I follow on itch.io or bandcamp publishes a new thing, but that's far from ideal, twitter/masto etc are useless for this because it just gets drowned by all the other stuff, blogs+RSS would fit the bill but that obviously hasn't taken off (meaning there are issues to investigate)...

it's also bad for people who produce stuff because the current solution (maintaining multiple social media accounts so the algorithms don't ignore your announcement post when you release something) is just unsustainable

itd be good if there was a social network for following lots of people who each only actually need to post every 1-5 years, like musicians or animators or whatever, where you don't want to see hourly posts by them but you DO want to keep tabs on them because you love their work. i guess maybe patreon etc. fills that niche? in theory you could just make social network alt-accounts. but nobody really seems to do that and "1 post every 18 months" isn't really how most stuff is supposed to be used

Belarusian anarchists wrote a long read explaining situation in #Belarus in perspective of longer political and social development. Must read - https://pramen.io/en/2020/08/how-did-the-belarusians-come-to-rebellion-against-the-dictatorship/ #Elections #ACAB #Anarchism
