My writing hobby is in transit. Here's what's going on, in case anyone cares.
Mainly, I am shifting away from Quora. I've posted there for going on 8 years and enjoyed doing it, writing tons and tons of great material. I even made a little money! I've made more money literally doing nothing while my money accounts accrue interest, but it's the thought that counts, isn't it?!
Unfortunately, though, the site is now an unmoderated xChan trash pit of trolls, perverts, bigots, ChatGPT hacks, spammers, and other internet flotsam. I spend more time as a volunteer admin reporting losers and downvoting garbage material than I do writing.
So I archived all my material and might open a secret page on mariocaiti.com ? Watch this space for details!
And some essays may get ported here. Well, what else am I gonna do with that stuff? Another blog? A Mario At The Movies thing? Blech....I considered opening a Letterboxd account for movies and TV stuff, but I have a feeling that's also a hotspot for bored teenagers and rude cranks, and I just don't have the energy anymore.
Lastly, I go to Mastodon for short takes and commentary. My account for creative work is mastodon.art/@gtrplayingman, and my account for mouthing off about hot topics is mas.to/@mariomakesstuff. Don't tell Mom about the second one...LOL
I'll see you there or on one of the vBulletin sites I frequent (that hasn't gone away either). Comment or see me on the "Fediverse" if you have any questions.
