Switched from Publer to Zlappo for my design-related content for consulting - Twitter + LinkedIn cross-posting

[UPDATE] Switched back to Publer. Zlappo isn't working.

Switched Twitter scheduling tool from Zlappo to Sidebird cos I need auto-RTs & auto-unRTs

Considering using Zlappo for my design-related posts (on Twitter & LinkedIn) for #outsprint instead 🤔

Created IFTTT applet to automate posting tweets from Twitter to Mastodon - as backup and hedge against deplatformisation

For me, being indie was about the freedom to decide today is an off day and I'm going cycling at the beach with my wife and kiddo. But I rarely ever exercise that freedom. Glad I finally did today

I love east coast park and this place looks fun to cycle around

Remember Road Safety Park? I used to come here back in primary school. The place had definitely seen some wear and tear these days, but it's open to public…still fun for kids.

Unblocked and unmuted all accounts I previously blocked/muted as a twitter experiment

Bought an AI-generated artwork (US$56) from fellow Lifelogger to support him, indie to indie

Culled my Twitter follows list from 2180 to 695

Apparently the algo punishes you if your following:follower ratio is above 0.6.

I was at 2180:6558 this morning, so that's about 0.3 – I passed, but that got me thinking about spring cleaning my follows.

So bit the bullet, culled it to 695.

Will see if it matters at all!

Haha i didn't prune indies, it was mostly follows from 10 years ago from a different group i removed, and lots and lots of faceless brand accounts like heroku changelog haha

It's always a good idea to do some cleaning of your feeds. And now to find out, did I make the cut 😊
