@cdevroe

  • email: many times a day.
  • RSS (NewsBlur): big session in the AM, seeing what's there, occasionally at other times.
  • Micro.blog: many times a day; it's probably what keeps me tied to the internet more than anything else!
  • Others: never

@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.

  • Email: Whenever a new one comes into the inbox, and the notification tells me it needs attention. Otherwise maybe once a day I'll check the screener folder.

  • RSS: Probably once a week.

  • Micro.blog: Daily, if time allows, multiple times. If there's a mention notification, I'll try to reply as soon as possible.

  • Mastodon: When I'm mentioned.

  • Twitter: Depends on how much free time I have, and if I'm following something on the news. Multiple times a day.

  • Facebook: Nope.

  • TikTok: No.

  • Instagram: Multiple times a day.

@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.

@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.

  • Email = a few times a day, both work and email
  • RSS = I go through the posts in the morning and dismiss the ones that are not interesting to me. The remaining posts I tend to read throughout the day.
  • Micro.blog = up to 5 or 6 or so times a day, maybe? It's the service I check the most and is usually just opened.
  • Mastodon = once a day, and only to check for any notifications, I don't browse the timeline
  • Twitter = only if following a link to a tweet. I don't go there to browse the timeline
  • Facebook = never, don't have an account
  • TikTok = never, don't have an account
  • Pocketcast = once or twice a day, to see if there's new episodes of podcasts I follow
