I use email lists to send updates on new videos, blog posts, and other things. This way I don’t have to play to the algorithms on the platforms I create within. (This is not really an issue on Hive mind you; but other places love to give your followers what "they" think your followers want to see.)
Because of this approach, I can focus on tech content that teaches and informs you. Too often creators fall into a trap where they only create that might “pop off” and get them a ton of views instead of what they want to create.
cough All the dumb trend videos on Tiktok... cough
The content I want to create does not lend well to going viral and thus those of you that want to see my content on the various platforms may never end up seeing the content.
So let’s avoid that situation.
I have a few email lists so you can subscribe to what you want to see and nothing extra. On these lists, you may reply to the emails to talk about the content as a thread. When replying, please use plain text and follow the simple plain text email etiquette; such as not top posting. (All HTML emails are rejected automatically)
A. Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.
Q. Why no top posting?
I may add more lists for topics as time goes on but for now these are the ones you may subscribe to.
To subscribe to an email list send an email to:
Videos: ~jrswab/videos+subscribe@lists.sr.ht
Blogs: ~jrswab/videos+subscribe@lists.sr.ht
To unsubscribe to an email list send an email to:
Videos: ~jrswab/videos+unsubscribe@lists.sr.ht
Blogs: ~jrswab/videos+unsubscribe@lists.sr.ht
To read these lists in a web browser:
Videos: https://lists.sr.ht/~jrswab/videos
Blogs: https://lists.sr.ht/~jrswab/blogs
Seriously, no top posting…
By subscribing to an email list, you agree to nothing more than wanting to receive an email when new content is released. Your email address is private to both me and other subscribers unless you choose to reply to a thread.
