Hello all, What are you doing with their zine library-related Twitter/Facebook/Instagram accounts? Deleting them? Letting them go dormant? What sites are you using for zine library-related social media? I've been considering what to do with some of the zine-related Facebook groups and Instagram accounts I run, because I don't know if it's worth still having a presence on those websites. I deleted all the Twitter accounts last year. Best, Matthew -- Email: thematthewmurray@gmail.com Twitter: @MidniteLibrary <https://twitter.com/midnitelibrary> Website: thematthewmurray.weebly.com Pronouns: He/They MLIS 2015, School of Library, Archival & Information Studies (SLAIS), UBC Listen to Book Club for Masochists: A Readers' Advisory Podcast <http://bookclub4m.libsyn.com/>! _______________________________________________ ZineLibrarians mailing list ZineLibrarians@lists.zinelibraries.info http://lists.zinelibraries.info/listinfo.cgi/zinelibrarians-zinelibraries.info

It's a good question, something that's been on my mind. I'll suggest deleting or at least locking down the @ZinePavilion twitter account <https://x.com/zinepavilion> at one of our next meetings. I also wonder about the @ZineLUC twitter account <https://x.com/ZineLUC>. I had considered talking with folks about setting up a zine library-related Bluesky account, but I think I may try to do more updating of the ZineLibraries.info website instead. If someone's compelled to start a zine librarianship Bluesky account, please feel free! (Maybe share the login info with someone else in the community in case you lose capacity/interest?)

I also support discontinuing Twitter. I'm not sure about deleting accounts, though. I think the Facebook group is still useful. Maybe add some additional administrators if it's burdensome or you want out? I'd love to see someone(s) manage a zineluc account on Bluesky. I don't have capacity for that right now, but might be able to take a turn at some point. Thanks, Matthew, Violet, Ziba, and everyone who update and maintain zine library presences!

I don't think there's much moderation needed for the Facebook or Discord groups, but if anyone is interested in being an administrator on either of those, please let me know. : ) Best, Matthew On Mon, 13 Jan 2025 at 10:40, Jenna Freedman <jfreedma@barnard.edu> wrote: > I also support discontinuing Twitter.
