FB: too friends and family focussed, also Twitter was better for off-the-cuff random content.

Instagram: Too image focussed / airbrushed content - not everyone's life is perfect and not everything I want to post has an picture.

Give twitter another try? Any alternatives?

[Dr. Iain Bethune @IainBethune]

So I kind of gave up on Twitter early this year as it seemed to have descended into a cesspool of crypto scammers and toxic politics. Yet I didn't find any good alternatives... Still looking for somewhere for tech/IT/science/geekery and also running content.

[Miles Together @miles_together]

The 💯 mile club @mapledurham #BYU. One RTC so the remaining five are pushing on into day two of the race 🤩

[Miles Together @miles_together]

An atmospheric dawn has given way to a bright morning @mapledurham #BYU 6 runners left, closing in on the 💯 mile mark.

[Miles Together @miles_together]

Night falls at @mapledurham #BYU wonder how many runners will make it through to the morning? 😴

[Miles Together @miles_together]

6 yards / 25 miles done... time for the ultra lap @mapledurham #BYU

[Miles Together @miles_together]

Yard 2 completed, yard 3 in progress! #BYU Had a little wander over to look at the @mapledurham mill (now a micro hydro scheme) 😎

[Miles Together @miles_together]

The runners are off on the first ever yard at the inaugural @mapledurham #BYU The sun is shining and it's shaping up to be a great weekend 😎

[Miles Together @miles_together]

Chilling at @mapledurham #BYU 30 mins till the start. Live stream has started: https://t.co/HEap2Bldwd can you spot us? 👀

[Miles Together @miles_together]

We're off to Mapledurham #BackyardUltra #BYU this weekend 😁 Follow the livestream here: https://t.co/HEap2Bldwd from 11am on Saturday as @MrsBMumOfFour is looking for some big yards 👍

[Dr. Iain Bethune @IainBethune]

All the #bm100 runners now have only 14 hours left to finish loop 4, make their final interloopal, and the whole of loop 5. The front runners have already taken more than 14 hours for loop 4, and there are still a few more hours of darkness to go. It's going to be tight!

[Dr. Iain Bethune @IainBethune]

@taka_does_stuff Jasmin Paris is the 3rd in the lead group, according to the French on FB 🕵️‍♂️

[Dr. Iain Bethune @IainBethune]

@FoldyFlap @TR8Mat Karel Sabbe and Aurelien Sanchez also on a big taper... 🤔

@DNSandilands Following, not "For you". Better but that's not saying much

[Dr. Iain Bethune @IainBethune]

Just me or has X degenerated quite a bit recently? Mostly running content has gone to IG, not much tech/HPC content (even during SC it was quiet), and very few friends/family posts. Not sure if it's just the feed algorithms but all I see are toxic politics and crypto spam 😞

[Miles Together @miles_together]

This is a first for us - an interview with "escapted convicts" Heather and Geoffrey Daunis 😱

You'll be glad to know they are back in custody and now deported to the USA 🤣
