I hate how so much event sharing is on Instagram. People, you have a website. Use it.

@mayintoronto it annoys me when local activist groups are like "we're doing a <political thing>! details available only on our <facebook and/or instagram>"

I think it's mostly an access thing where it's easy for people already using those sites to post information on them versus making a website (or finding whoever has the login key for their website and getting them to add it).

@floatybirb @mayintoronto might be easy for them, but ironically makes it inaccessible for everyone else

even if you can get to whatever jpeg they've posted, they rarely replicate the content in actual text form

@mayintoronto That’s what I was getting at with this (about a regular collaging event that I have no idea when they occur): https://mastodon.social/@sillygwailo/115633345045012272

@mayintoronto Oh god, I know. Whyyyyy.

@mayintoronto Yes. Especially posts that say, like, "next Wednesday" or "this weekend" instead of including the actual date. Useless on those non-chronological sites.

This shit kills me. Bands will have a site with a tour schedule for 2019... Did they break up? Oh, no they just announce EVERYTHING on sites that don't allow you to view them without a membership. I guess they don't want to sell tickets to me then.

@mayintoronto wonder what it's like in the timeline where those dweebs didn't sell out to Zuckerberg.

@mayintoronto A few years ago, I could understand the argument that a group had to be visible on centralized commercial services. But those have become increasingly actively hostile environments. There's no point in trying to do search engine optimization or to go viral on social media anymore.

But there's a whole range of ways to announce events on your own website, from simply typing in the text on your homepage, to adding a calendar or running your own event scheduling service, like this one:
