In a previous post, The 11th reason to delete your social media account, I talked about reasons for leaving social media—not the reasons that we all agree are “good reasons to leave social media”, but the actual reasons that got me, at least, to leave. In this post, I want to talk about what you do next.
The intended audience for this post is academics, journalists, intellectuals, writers, and artists who are used to using (ad-supported) social media to share their work and interact with their colleagues and the wider public. You may be writing for a public. You may be part of a community or a collaboration too big for a CC list. You may be teaching a course—some of this thinking was spurred by the fact that we’re working on a new open-access humanities analytics course that’s taking place primarily online. To be clear, the following is solely my own thinking, not that of my colleagues, and is in no way an official policy of anything.
