@gregmoore Thanks for adding Discord... I should have added a bunch of other services rather than the blank as most people didn't add any.
I could have added IG, Slack, Discord, Stocks, Crypto Wallet, etc.
@jameskoole More people check RSS multiple times a day than I would have guessed. Pretty cool.

@cdevroe - Email - work, 1 or 2x a day; personal email, several times a day; but it would be less if it weren't on the same account as my calendar! (Funny how when I check the calendar, I take a little looksee at the email...) - RSS - I don't use an RSS reader; it would be one more mode of consumption to distract myself with - Micro.blog - it's my main mode of digital procrastination; I check it a lot, especially when I should be doing something else - Mastodon - I don't have an account - Twitter - never, I deleted the account - Facebook - never, I deleted the account - TikTok - I don't have an account, but when my sister or daughter send me a TikTok cat video, I watch it ... especially when I should be doing something else.
@BestofTimes I'm with you on email notifications... I only have 3 people set up to notify me if they send an email.
@cdevroe ooh! Good question. Currently it is just NetNewsWire on iOS. I have the desktop app but I rarely open it on my laptop.

@Denny I've seen a big uptick in Mastodon activity. How long will it last? It will be interesting to find out.
@cdevroe Sure — thanks for asking! (Of course art is very subjective & what appeals to me might not appeal to you.) Try @steveforsterpaintings (portraits), @maks_karakulin (dance), @michellevalbergphotography (nature), @dinosandcomics, @documinute, @jimmychin (climber, photographer, director), @natgeo (lots of skilled, talented photographers), @rogierwieland (physical animation), @renatomuccillo_fine_arts (landscapes), @estherhorvath (polar photography) … Each is incredibly creative.
