Presence on social networks

 LinkedIn is still first, and YouTube in the last place. Subscribe to Substack!

 

The first is still LinkedIn, with 3,288 followers (8.2 % growth in the last year)

In second place, my Twitter account, with 2,405 followers (15.6 % growth). I would really prefer to close this account if I ever pass the follower count on Threads or Mastodon.

In third place, Facebook, with 699 followers.

Fourth: Instagram, 233 followers (I have posted more frequently)

Fifth: Mastodon, 203 followers

Sixth: Threads, 152 followers (more than doubled from last year, but still rather slow growth).

Seventh: Substack, with 74 free subscribers (and currently zero paid subscribers). Apart from my articles and columns, I am publishing chapters of my novel “The Last Human”, short stories, poems (currently, my mother’s latest poetry) and hopefully chapters of future books. I invite you to subscribe!

Eighth: YouTube, 2 subscribers (!). I should generate more content, given that it is the network that offers the greatest possibility of monetization.

I have considered joining BlueSky, but I don’t see any major advantage over Threads or Mastodon.

I thank all my followers and subscribers; I wish you Happy Holidays, and all the best in the New Year!
