Hey #genchatters ! Since there have been a few inquiries, I thought I’d take a little time to talk about the future of #genchat. First, let me thank everyone who has participated over the years. It’s that collaboration which made the chat come to life!
As you know, the Twitter environment has changed over the years. When there was a question about the platform’s future, I quickly set up an account over on Mastodon. We didn’t move, but Saturday Morning #genchat on Mastodon was soon born & has been growing slowly & firmly.
Now that Twitter’s terms are changing & people are moving to other platforms, I’ve been approached by some about moving to Threads or Bluesky. I must admit that I’m not crazy about setting up yet another social media account, but I am willing to at least think about it.
I don’t intend to sound prideful, but it has been my money, time & effort that were invested in #genchat during some of the most difficult years of my life (not anyone’s problem but mine, of course). It has been a labor of love.
Because of this I want to be clear: it is my decision if, where & when Friday #genchat will move. I want to take time to weigh my options and make the best decision for everyone. I ask for your patience as I do this.
Meanwhile I can affirm that #genchat on Mastodon will remain on the Saturday at 9amET (after the 2nd & 4th Fridays). Stay tuned as I go exploring!
