Amy Ghost Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I kinda wanted to make a twitter and post stuff about Asexuality. You know, just do something to spread the word and put the thoughts, explanations and stuff. Just educational. And now I learned that you can't post anything there longer than 140 characters. It's totally pathetic! How are you supposed to say something with thtat?! Yea, people have millions of followers, but what people? Katty Perry. I'm not them, nor do I want to. But the point is I couldn't say anything. Completely ot letting people really say some opinion. Completely stupid in this way. It's totally pission me off. If anyone knows about something else and would like to I¨d still do this. I do it on tumblr, posting stuff about Asexuality mostly, then some Transgender stuff and more. No need for facebook since there are already several pages and groups. Link to post Share on other sites
ThaHoward Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Twitter is mostly for short messages (as you've seen). Like "good asexual representation at the pride event" and so on. You can still spread asexual visibility thoruhg twitter :) And it is awesoem that you do it! Link to post Share on other sites
mayve Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 You can always make your messages into images. Link to post Share on other sites

Yea, which would look weird. I want to post a lot more. Are there any similar websites with better conditions and yet still popular a lot? Link to post Share on other sites
knout Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I would have suggested tumblr but since you're already doing that... Maybe pinterest? Link to post Share on other sites

Rising Sun Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I understand your disappointment, Twitter is so restrictive that I'm unable to understand how it can be popular. If you use Tumblr, I see some problems about it personally : - you will reach only a very specific public, people between 15 and 25, and they're the most educated about asexuality already ; people who are older than 25 need to be more educated about the existence of asexuality so it should be taken into account IMO ; - Tumblr is overcrowded, success is far from being guaranteed ; - you'll get many trolls so be sure that you aren't very sensitive about people insulting you and your work in public. If you want to reach a very large public including adults of all ages, and if you want to have more control on trolls including banning them, a Facebook page is a better bet IMO.

Interesting, thank you. I don¨t know much about tumblr, not that long there. So far got 28 followers of uncertain age. I've already been insulted several times, I cool about it, I ignore them if I can't reason with them. Okay, I'll think about that. Thank you again. Link to post Share on other sites
