in Clubbing, Festivals
As you probably know if you're reading this post, I like attending EDM events (mostly trance), and been to over 250 events so far as well as attended around 70 festivals around the world by the time I write this, and have written a report for each and every one of them.
But those repots are only worth the time I take to write them (sometimes more than one day of work for some of them), if people can find and read them. In the old days I could just post them on facebook, or people would even find them with a google search. Nowadays, things are very different and Facebook does their best so that any post with external links are viewed by as few people as possible since they do not control external sites and want to keep their product (i.e. the users) locked in their site so that they can continue to feed them lying ads, fake AI videos and posts, and the other crap that is now all over FB.
Instagram is not better, although they make things worse by not even really allowing any links in posts, so that takes care of that problem.
So, how do you, my dear reader, find my new posts if both FB and IG have a vested interest in you never seeing them?
The best 3 ways to get future posts/festival reports:
Mailing list for posts announcements and chat: https://lists.merlins.org/lists/listinfo/ledtranceguy-posts . I swear I will never spam you or give out your Email.
I also made a Discord: https://discord.gg/ScHQU5Vm9j that you can join to get new posts and optionally chat with other members.
I also made a Whatsapp group for post announcements and chat: https://chat.whatsapp.com/CQKOxG8i73H2LOKh9a5hHY
For real time stories and posts from festivals and to follow/friend/DM me, FB and IG are still best, and you should follow both if you can, but expect that FB will make it hard for you to actually see my blog posts, while IG only allows me to make links you can't click on, so you have to cut and paste them.
IG: https://www.instagram.com/ledtranceguy
FB: https://www.facebook.com/ledtranceguy/ (follow both if you can)
