These and Instagram seem to be the main locii of conversation for a topic I'm interested in. Instagram is a no because Meta. Just trying to keep myself off of the big data mining sites and search results are a bit of a hot mess.

Edit: Please, no more splaining how there isn’t any privacy on the net. There’s what can be scraped, what can be gathered from cookies (which I’m as careful as I can be about), and there’s what we make it easy for corporations to collect by using their products. I’m asking about the latter for Discord and Tumblr. It’s not that I’m unaware of the general problem (otherwise I wouldn’t be asking), it’s just that I’m out of the loop on specifics for these sites.

Writer George Penney (who also writes wonderful posts about house-sitting adventures with feline overlords in various countries and is an entertaining follow) just posted this on Mastodon:

"If you like the idea of a romcom centered around a geek bar featuring dnd, goths, furries, munches and drag queens, with a message that's even more relevant now than when I wrote it. My alter-ego Evie Snow has a book--"This Is Not A F*cking Romance"--out today for FREE in all stores (Yay!)"

Masha du Toit is celebrating the release of their books on 7 new platforms by making them free until 31st July (except on Amazon because Amazon has other ideas). Sci-fi and fantasy, LGBTQ.

Spread the word :)

To start with, Masha recommends "The Babylon Eye", "We Broke the Moon" (YA drama), or "Ray and the Cat Thing" (quite light).

New to Lemmy, wasn't on Reddit so i don't know the etiquette or how multiple groups are commonly used.

I'd really like to let everyone know about something (temporarily free sci-fi & fantasy ebooks and their writer) but don't want to spam or break norms. Is one post per group acceptable, even if I post to several groups or is that frowned upon?
