Hi Steem!
Hi all! It's been a while since I've posted on Steem. I needed a little break from all things steem-related for a little while, but now I'm back.
I may begin posting more here, but for now I wanted to point you at my self-hosted blog at https://sneak.berlin. I've been writing a lot more there, and you might be interested in some of the things I have to say there. They line up a lot with the reasons I got involved in Steem for the first place. It's entirely possible I may end up crossposting everything there over here.
It also still supports a feed, if you use Feedly or some other RSS/Atom feed-consuming tool to fetch new posts.
Social Censorship Opt-Out
Additionally, I've been slowly exiting censored, surveillance-based social media in general. I deleted my Instagram account two days ago, and it makes me quite sad, but these censorship platforms are ultimately bad for our society and our freedom. Every time we post on censorship platforms or grant them our attention, we enrich them and endorse them to our friends and families, and that's dangerous. I wrote more about these sorts of problems a few days ago.
I encourage you to avoid any censorship- or surveillance-based social media, for the reasons in that post. (If you're on Steem, you're probably already doing this!)
Keep In Touch
If you're interested in keeping in touch, I have started an email list—one of the last remaining widespread push-based systems on the internet that isn't widely censored (provided you check your spam folder).
Enter your email at https://sneak.berlin/list and I'll mail you 3-4 times per year with information of interest and value. For a lot of my content, this list is the only place I'll be posting it now that I have entirely de-Facebooked my life.
I'm also posting occasionally on the decentralized ActivityPub Fediverse (which you might know as Mastodon or Pleroma) as @sneak@sneak.berlin and I encourage you to follow me there if you use ActivityPub. :)
Be well!
