This had been what's bothered me so much about the "just have your own space!" advice, especially in recent days.
You *should* have your own site but someone has to know your space exists to visit.
To ignore social media's role in that is to ignore the habits of people & their content consumption.

On the one hand, I’m appreciating all the conversations about the turning point in social media, and that more people are quitting for more generative spaces like blogs and newsletters. On the other hand, that only works if you have an audience (often built on social media) to follow you there.

Platforms work because people use them. When you can spend 10 minutes seeing stuff from 20 people all at once it feels like a more efficient use of your time.
This site has been a life preserver for me. But I understand how uncertain it can be. The other alternatives are just as bleak however, if for different reasons. It has always been tough, and when the challenges are outside of your control it is demoralizing
Best of luck to you! I can't imagine trying to juggle all of this for a charity as well, you're superheroes 💜

It flat out says there is no software solution and you either have to write your own code or do it manually.
