There was a time when I felt using those platforms against the grain was a good strategy for reaching people (see https://2018.ar.al/notes/spyware-vs-spyware/) but times have changed.

We now have beautiful free/open, federated/decentralised, and interoperable alternatives like Mastodon with more on the way. I now feel my energies are best used in experiencing them as fully as possible and contributing to making them better.
