Well, if I have to talk about social media platforms, this is going to be a short post! I’m not really a fan of social media. I mean, I still think
email is cutting edge technology. I have avoided learning about things like Tweets and Friends and Likes for years. Now that I have started writing again, however, I am being thrust at the speed of rockets into a brave, new world that rightfully belongs to teens. The path has not always been smooth.
To say I have favorite platforms (plural) is too much of a stretch. Having said that I’m not a fan of social media in general, I admit to enjoying Twitter. The memes (I had to look that word up!) are sometimes funny, and I am more likely to go from Twitter to Amazon and buy books than on any other medium. (So while I like Twitter, my husband hates it.) I also enjoy blogging and—with a little help from friends—have even found my way into tribes on Triberr. So there are platforms I feel somewhat comfortable with.
However, I do have a platform that is my least favorite. The name rhymes with Place Cook. And the reason for Place Cook’s being my least favorite social media platform is that THEY KEEP THROWING ME OUT. Okay, granted, I didn’t read all 100 pages of community rules and thus ended up with more than one account. But couldn’t they just tell me that and give me a chance to correct my errors instead of disabling my accounts so that I don’t even have access to delete them? Asking a question (like “please tell me why you disabled my account”) is like throwing a stone into a black hole. In short, I dislike Place Cook and it dislikes me. And I see no resolution to my plight.
That said, please say hello on Twitter: @DeeSKnight. I’ll be very happy to say hello back!
