I love Mastodon but I do wish there were more active peeps here. Other sites seem so transactional. People want to friend me so they can tag me to advertise their own sites, or they want to know how I got ARCs and I tell them and then never hear from them again, Or they just want to complain about other book reviewers or publishers. Anyway if you see this it's probably because you are an awesome person! We need more awesome people here. @horror

@stina_marie @Well_Worth_A_Read @horror unfortunately there was a negative experience to a lot of the horror folks when they came over during one of the twitter migrations. most of them have written off the fediverse because of it.

@stina_marie @horror @Well_Worth_A_Read things like pushback on promoting their work, or things like alt text. angry folks explaining how things were here and how they were not twitter to the new people trying to find a new home.

i get some of it, as the Fediverse was being overwhelmed with Twitter folks and pushing back on that, but they pushed too hard and a lot of folks decided that's what this place was and left.

causal racism or misogyny didn't help.

Morning ! I made a thing! and it's for you, AND I need your help.

Sunday Morning Horror News! It pulls from the RSS feeds of horror writer and publisher blogs to make a nice list for you to read and your pace, not the pace of social media.

Check it out! and let me know what blogs I should add! The starting list is small, but I am going to always be adding things!

@stina_marie @horror I did think about that. I think for now, just the blogs. I see it as a way to try to read about releases and upcoming events, etc,

We have a few places that collect the open calls already like the submission grinder and Gwen Kiste’s blog that I’m not I want to jump into that sort of thing.

THAT SAID, if those posts are on blogs I don’t have, then we should add them! Those calls will show up in the list as they post them.
