Hey #WritingCommunity, how do you all find beta readers for your WIPs? Should I just ask to swap critiques?

My only use case for #ChatGPT for #writing at the moment is for to generate synonyms and to remember words I'm blanking on. LLMs are a lot better at giving me information I can only vaguely remember than Google. For instance, I needed a word to describe a human-like android: ChatGPT suggested me 'biomimetic', which was good enough.
That's pretty much the line in the sand for how much I want to include LLMs into my workflow, however.
After trying it out for a few days, I think I just like #Mastodon better over #BlueSky. Obviously there's some philosophical and practical reasons for that (Really? No hashtags yet?) but in general it feels like more #Twitter to me. I don't want more Twitter. Has that 'screaming into the void' feeling I've never had with Mastodon.

The nice thing about having a strong grasp of English grammar is that #editing becomes much less of a guessing game. The better you can articulate why something is or might be wrong, the better.
Putting my deadname on a short story manuscript is gross. That is all.
It's there for legal reasons, but I'm half-tempted to leave it off anyway.
Tracking my daily word count month-to-month is one of the best decisions I've made. It's nice seeing how much I've improved getting words down.
I keep forgetting I have social media. Media? Yes, yes I like media. Social? Well, about that...
My favorite thing about the new #Twitter name is that I have already on multiple occasions clicked on the new logo thinking that it was a close button.
