Yea, me, too. So, like, can we create our own little private social universes? Can we practice social MEDIA distancing? Turns out we actually can…

I let my customer group on Facebook know that I would be slowly migrating OFF of Facebook and other platforms soon. It’s not so much the negativity on Facebook, as I’ve trained my feed well enough that I don’t really see it that much. Did you know you can do that? Yup. The short of it is this: The more you interact and even SLOW DOWN to look at a post, image or video, the more you’re going to see similar content…so, if you’re getting a lot of politics, negativity, or things you don’t really care about…maybe pay attention to scrolling habits? I’ve spent the last couple of weeks since the election exploring all of the other social media options out there…and I have to say, I wasn’t really all that impressed. I DID, however, find ONE platform that I think I’m going to love…IF I can a build a community there…who wants to bet that this post share won’t show up on Twitter?

The bottom line is, I don’t need Facebook to tell me to get a flu shot. Seriously. That’s the first thing I saw on FB today. This after WEEKS of voter registration notifications there and on IG, and months of COVID-19 pop ups. Is this really where we go to get information like that???? Blech.

A brief overview of my social media experience can be found in a past post you can read HERE. Here’s where I am now, or planning to be very soon: Blog (yup, y’all are sticking around. I love this community, no matter how little readership I actually get), YouTube, Instagram, emails, and TikTok. Instagram, more because I need to engage with collaborators there, and enjoy the sense of community that has built from intentionally training my feed (YEP, you can do that on IG, as well) TikTok is more for fun. Also, on IG, I’m connected with people there from all over that I’m simply not connected to elsewhere. And, that’s ok! It’s part of the draw of the platform! NOW, here’s the clencher…and the platform I’ve discovered after many discussions with friends, family, business partners, and business groups: THE MIGHTY NETWORK.

Have you heard of it? I hadn’t either until someone mentioned it. When you first land on the site, it’s going to look like you have to pay or enter CC info, or sign up for a free trial…you DO NOT HAVE TO DO THAT! Although I do see the potential for me WANTING or NEEDING a paid account in the future, the ALWAYS FREE version seems that it will suit my needs JUST FINE! Here’s what I LOVE the most: It’s a personalized feed! I can post there just random thoughts, curated content, share blog posts, videos, files, etc…ALL seamlessly organized into topics that Network Members can customize. You can easily follow and unfollow specific topics, and set email and push notifications, or —- are you ready?? — turn them OFF ENTIRELY! YUP! Imagine a world like that…yes, please. What I also love? This is a NETWORK. Of people interested in NETWORKING with me…not socializing…so I can SOCIALIZE on social media. You know, like it was meant to be? I mean, will we socialize and laugh and cry and all the things on the Might Network? I’m sure we will…but it’s so cool. You really just have to check it for yourself.

So, if you’re curious about, come on over and join my network! I’d love to have some explorers in the network, even if you’re not particularly interested in the topic.. just to see how it all works, get feedback, and see if we all like it as much as I think we do!
