What to do When Social Networks Have a Meltdown
This is the beginning of an idea to re-think social media platforms. There won’t be much information in this post because it’s really a test, but I will provide some links that will show you that there is life after Twitter or whatever social network goes belly-up.
I know CogDog is experimenting… when isn’t he?
Also Aaron Parecki has been doing this for a while, and he talks about it at length is this YouTube livestream (starting at the 16 minute mark).
That’s all the info I’m giving, for now.
Also, I’m guessing that this will double post. If it did, I’m doing something right.
It Mostly Worked
So the cross-posting extravaganza mostly worked. A bare link on Twitter but not sure why it didn’t post the title. No active links in the Mastodon post, but all the text came through. It worked the same way on the micro.blog/andyrush site, again with no active links.
This site, called MicroThoughts, is usually where I post from. Most of the time a micro blog post is composed in a program called MarsEdit, which I’ve mentioned before.

Cross-Posting Extravaganza
I’m testing micro.blog in the iOS app to see where this post goes automatically.
I “microblog” at microblog.andyrush.net (a WordPress blog) which automatically posts to micro.blog/andyrush
It should also send a Tweet … and if everything works … it will post to Mastodon.
