Authorized Social Media
In the modern world…
… Social media is everywhere. Most of it is predatory in some fashion. (The amount of information Facebook collects about you and everyone you know¹ would horrify you… or so we sincerely hope. And then they share it with literally anyone, private or public sector, who approaches them holding out money.) Much of it is actively harmful. (TikTok has been implicated in MULTIPLE incidents of teens, in particular, being encouraged to perform stupidly dangerous stunts or directly harm themselves on camera, for the sake of online social reputation.) There are also many, many known cases of abuse through social media driving teens and others — girls and LGBTQ+ kids in particular — to suicide.
Scams and brand impersonation are everywhere. It can be difficult to know what is true, and what is real. And the situation is only getting worse.
(Although both Sean and Robert concur with these sentiments, Sean did the writing. Robert would've hit the same points with even more annoyance. Sean's stated opinion is the tamer of the two.)
So to make it clear:
Sean Fenian has the following official, authorized media presences:
The Fenian Blog on seanfenian.com;
Mastodon, as Sean Fenian (@zakalwe@plasmatrap.com) and on BlueSky, bridged from Mastodon;
Discord, as Sean Fenian (@alrekrjarnhandr) — see also the Fenian House Discord;
IRC, as user SeanFenian on the Libera IRC network(irc.libera.chat)
Technically I am on LinkedIn as well, but I don't consider LinkedIn to be “social” media; it is performative corporatism.
Robert Auerbach has the following official, authorized media presences:
BlueSky, as @robertauerbach.bsky.social;
Discord, as @raubritter;
Robert’s personal site at robertauerbach.us.
And, of course, it goes without saying that this site, fenianhouse.com, is official and authorized.
