Hashtags

I was listening to one of my trashy true crime podcasts and it was talking about how a college campus had a hastag for a missing student trending and I'm just thinking, wow, I have no idea how I would even get "word out" or really "word in" these days. It feels like with Twitter so broken, with Tiktok being terrible and the "hot new thing", with Bluesky being so esoteric in comparison, Facebook being not worth looking at even if you technically have an account, Reddit and Tumblr being, well, Reddit and Tumblr... the social media landscape has really changed a lot. It definitely feels like something that we had has been destroyed, the whole 'main square' bit of the internet that we used to have. Or perhaps I just do not feel very engaged with what's there anymore. Maybe I'm just getting old.
