PUBLISH ON YOUR SITE FIRST
This comment from Zaskoda post, re: Publish on your own site, syndicate elsewhere on Hacker News is gold:
We followed this practice at a Non-Profit I volunteered for some years ago. For us, it was motivated by a few reasons:
– we trained the community around us to look to our website first for the most recent news and information
– we did not want a social media platform to be able to cut us off from our community (on purpose or accident) by shuttering accounts or groups
– we did not want to require our users have accounts on any 3rd party platforms in order to access our postings
Get people used to the idea of visiting your site, guard against losing touch with your audience because a 3rd party site cuts you off, and make your information accessible for anyone with a web browser (not everyone has an account on whatever social media account you’re posting to).
This is absoutely what I’m doing here at Social Media Escape Club – everything gets published to my site first, and bits and pieces (never the full post) ends up on the Substack platform.
