@jonossaseuraava @vagina_museum Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

For the last few days, our lift has been out of order because it made a very scary noise. -
Is anyone using Mastodon as their primary social media and is it working for you?@LianaBrooks That said, being here absolutely does not sell my audiobooks (I'm a narrator, or rather a former narrator at this point), and after over two years of futile promotions, I now put my energy into other projects (and occasionally post a book promo if the spirit moves me, but with zero expectations of making sales happen).
Changes in my day job + leaving corporate social media for 100% Fedi + my authors doing zero promotions on their back catalogues + AI coming after the voice work industry = I am no longer taking new voice work contracts & rarely promote audiobooks, because the ROI isn't there on Fedi for the time I put.
It is what it is, as the kids say.
[Note: I am not looking for a pep talk, nor for unsolicited advice. This is not an attitude problem (lol), it is a collapsing industry problem. I have cut my losses and moved on, which is a thoroughly considered and prudent business/career/financial move, I assure you.]
Meanwhile, there are also a handful of new audiobook listeners who I have connected with on Fedi, and I am deeply grateful to each and every one of them (/you). The scale just isn't there to make financial sense. So it goes.
But socially? I love it here. I am very, very glad to be on Mastodon / in the Fediverse.

Mastodon is my only social account.
