Hey Ariella—I’m curious about you boosting Threads. As a Meta platform with a viable alternative (Bluesky), I’m hoping people ditch it entirely. I’ve been calling on my electeds to ditch Twitter already…and Threads too. I understand why we aren’t leaving Instagram (yet), but Threads appears superfluous to me at this point.
For starters, I won’t leave meta because I’m not going to leave them with an eco chamber. Secondly, I really don’t like Blue Sky. The far left finds me with every post and is incredbily hateful when they do. Blue Sky lacks nuance. The one thing I like better about Blue Sky is the starter packs.
Just so you know, I did sign up for the DNC call and then heard nothing—NOTHING—at all from them. I was waiting all Monday and Tuesday for an email a text or a link. Nada. (Abd because I just noted it in my G Calendar as Dem Call, I didn’t really know who was doing that call. I signed up a week or more before and I sign up for many political calls, zooms etc). Some people at the DNC need to get it a lot more together.
Every call I’ve ever signed up for sends an email. I wasn’t online (and I get substack from all the greats and I do Facebook but not Instagram at all or blue sky much —it’s confusing) but my brother is in icu in a major medical center so I was mostly just waiting for an email
about this calm, like all other calls. I think not sending an email is not being great at getting word out. As a certified web copywriter I know that the only online real estate that’s gives solid results and which you can’t get kicked off of is one’s own website and mailing list. I get 10 emails a day still and countless texts (how do candidates in far flung areas from me get my number?) to donate to the Dems. I’m a yellow dog dem and I’m beginning to understand why people who aren’t committed Dems have issues with the DNC. I want to like the new guy who’s chair. I like Jeffries a lot. But there’s little in the way of cohesive messsging. Just saying. People are busy outside of social media. They need (!) an email sent directly into their inbox.
It was all over social media. They also did a live on IG of it, and it was on YouTube. I posted it throughout the day, so did the Dems and so did Reecie Colbert. But if no other influencer acknowledges it there’s not much to do with a bad algorithm.
📵📵📵! I really appreciate these roundups, they help me refocus every night and get a good-ish night’s sleep so I can get up to try again tomorrow. This is really fuckin important. Thank you!!

I'm so sorry that is your experience on BlueSky. Why are people like that?? Keep up the great work, so many of us DO appreciate it!

And yes, I am having a bad day.
And yes, I really do appreciate your 2 posts every night. Thank you.
