Trying to decide how to Twitter
7 years ago
I should probably get my ass on Twitter, shouldn't I. Managing a whole pile of social media accounts for crafting things is really tiring though. (Which is why I've not done anything more than just camp usernames on the other furry gallery sites.) Currently everything I post goes up on Tumblr, here, and DeviantArt, and also if it's a product I want to sell multiples of in the future it goes up on Etsy. That's a lot of different descriptions to write and formats to manage.
But Twitter also seems like probably a good way to like find meet-ups and events and club nights and parties and what have you. So since in recent months I've been trying to get myself out there and meet more people, it would probably be good to get on it.
I've got 2 usernames camped on Twitter: this one, and the one I've been using in recent years for my Etsy and Tumblr username and other public-facing crafting stuff. I'm thinking I'll probably use the Etsy username as mostly just crafting things. Post the things I make, maybe retweet cool things that I admire. Then probably use this older username as a personal account to be more casual and social-focused.
I'd be curious if anyone has opinions or experience with dealing with multiple accounts like this.

OP
I don't keep up to date on the social media scandals, and you've got some fair points, but at the same time, mostly what I want to use twitter for is to post the stuff I make in more places so I get more chances to sell stuff to people. So like I don't need to take part in bad-mouthing celebrities. I just need more people to see the things I make.
