In March I said I was leaving Facebook but I hadn’t set a date. Because of Facebook’s API changes that will stop me from posting from my website, I will no longer be posting on Facebook as of August 1st #deleteFacebook #indieweb
@EddieHinkle What API change is this? Presumably it’ll also affect Micro.blog crossposting, and hence @manton’s bottom line.
@EddieHinkle That is a great post. I am going to copy from it liberally! I really like your idea of having an email list for people who want to hear what you are doing.
@macgenie it’s the way forward. I mail out a link to the thelast7.com each week now. And no longer post on Fb, Twitter or instagram. I can’t do the awesome granular level of @EddieHinkel but I have emoji to help. 😊
@devilgate it’s the new rules that lock down the platform. Officially the most locked down silo in and out now. developers.facebook.com/blog/post...
@devilgate Yeah, this blog post lists the changes but the one we care about is no more publish_actions support after August 1st. I would imagine this is what @manton is using as well.
@macgenie Thanks! Feel free. I stole the idea of the email list from @cleverdevil as well as the idea to setup an RSS to Email campaign from MailChimp. So no extra work to send out the emails! I have three different “topic RSS feeds” that my site generates based on tags. Then people get emails based on the options they choose and the RSS feeds.
