📚 With the limited amount of characters, how do folks share #bookreviews here? I don’t publish them in a blog (should I ?) and have enjoyed #upscrolled allowing longer texts but was personally never big on making/watching reviews as reels - do I just make my reviews super brief for this platform ? Or turn them into a thread old-timey Twitter style?
#readers and #reviewers please chime in!

Maybe I should elaborate why I'm such a fan of #rednote (#xiaohongshu, chinese instagram basically) and #upscrolled (basically antiimperialist instagram).

They both are not open source and I dont know to what extend my data is used without my consent. Upscrolled claims to not use it at all. I dont have a reason to believe them or not to.

Why then do I frequent them?

Easy: its because they provide non white, non western perspective. It helps you see the selective empathy on mastodon.

Would love to see if there is a bigger #permaculture community here - left #meta and co two months ago for #upscrolled and since it’s still a smaller platform I’d love to see what’s being discussed regarding #soilhealth, #syntropicagroforestry etc. Always happy to link up and talk about practices this growing season in this climate deteriorating through #war and #exploitation of resources.

Ppl need to stop jumping on sm bandwagons. The answer isn’t scurrying to #Upscrolled. #MySpace became uncool, ran to #Facebook. FB sold ur info, ran to #Twitter. Elon took over Twitter, ran to #Bluesky. What’s next? See the pattern?

The new social media #UpScrolled is a much better alternative for most people. Although it's not as good as #Mastodon, but most people will always care about convenience over everything.
