Writing Slowly

My name’s Richard. I live in Sydney, on the traditional land of Bidjigal people of the Eora nation. Here I write about writing and reading (and what I do when I'm not writing or reading). I'm writing slowly but may at some point speed up. Connect with me on micro.blog or at Mastodon @aus.social@writingslowly. On Reddit, I'm @atomicnotes.

@manton X is the 15th largest social media platform by monthly use. It’s 6 times smaller than either Facebook or Instagram, 5 times smaller than YouTube, 3 times smaller than TikTok. Unsubstantiated talk of a ‘resurgence’ is a choice to promote it, not a politically neutral observation.
