Moving away from Youme.social.

Basically, I've had it with Youme.social.

They have repeatedly refused to provide basic functionality for hiding posts in public groups from my main profile, and this just won't work.

Apparently, the staff there lack an elementary understanding of social compatibility, and believe that everybody except for religious zealots gets along with everybody else.

Sorry, but that's just not how it works.

You see, I'm a hybrid scholar/gamer.  Most scholars treat gamers as airheads, and most gamers treat scholars as eggheads.  Frankly, I'm neither.

Personally, I majored in computer science at Yale University, and work as an editor/proofreader of computer science-related research documents.

However, I also play role-playing games.  Specifically, I especially enjoy solo-playing "Final Fantasy XI Online" and "The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited."  I also solo-play 4 other online role-playing titles.

Now, I wanted to create public groups for both computer science and role-playing games, and to hide posts in those public groups from my main profile.  However, the folks over at Youme.social keep saying that they can't provide this functionality.

But that's nonsense, because such functionality used to exist at Googleplus (the Youme.social folks keep saying that they were never aware of it -- they should ask Dr. Edward Morbius), and it also exists here at Dreamwidth.

So now I'm just sick and tired of this crap at Youme.social, and want to move to somewhere where I can connect with both scholars and gamers at the same time without creating friction between the two.

Which brings me here.

WT Social

Just now, I joined WT Social (see https://wt.social/u/benjamin-russell3) (my profile is currently empty because I haven't written anything there yet), and found that it might be useful for writing posts about role-playing games without attracting hordes of people who don't know how to write or spell.

You see, I like solo-playing online role-playing games, and am an avid player of both "Final Fantasy XI Online" and "The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited," but I also majored in computer science at Yale University, and work at an editor/proofreader of computer science research documents.

Apparently, posts over at WT Social are written similarly to Wikipedia articles.

Well, that's basically how I usually write most of my new-related posts anyway, including those related to games.

So if I write my posts over there, maybe that'll allow me to write the types of posts that I want to write while also attracting the types of readers that I want to attract.
