No Idea What I'm Doing

I'm gonna try... try real hard... to start using Imzy more. I think I like the layout? But I have no flippin' clue what I'm doing here, or really how to use it. Layering in the whole individual community part on top of just posting to a timeline makes it feel weird to me, like I'm supposed to maintain some sort of codified blog here rather than just ramble in the dark like I do on Twitter and Facebook.

But maybe that's what makes Imzy cool? I just don't know. I feel old.

I remember trying out Ello for a few months before just sort of fading away from it. It's not bad in any way, but I've already built a community of friend/followers on Facebook and Twitter, and it's hard to step over to a new platform that ends up feeling empty because no one interacts with me there.

Platforms like Ello and Imzy are a lot easier to adopt for authors who already have a dedicated fan base. It's simple(ish) for someone like Kevin Hearne or Chuck Wendig to drop into a new social media platform, because they can just ping their fanbase and have an instant group of people to interact with. That's not so much the case for me, so we'll see if I can tough it out here on Imzy long enough to build that network.
