I'm excited to announce that JWylie Designs now posts updates, new work, work-in-progress and other content to my BlueSky page! You will find the link to my page at the bottom of each webpage; just click the butterfly.
I had been giving a lot of thought about what to do with my Instagram account. I've noticed that with Instagram's constant fiddling with its algorithm, my posts would only reach about 30 accounts per month (!), and the number of new followers I had had stagnated. I was starting to think there was no point to continuing on Instagram, especially since I get a lot more engagement on Pinterest. The final straw however was the announcement by Mark Zuckerberg that Meta was doing away with fact checkers and following X's system of community policing. Clearly a reversal of policy to gain political favour. I had already shutdown my Facebook page during the Cambridge Analytica scandal, no longer trusting Facebook's privacy. I also got off the increasingly toxic Twitter platform, closing that account in 2016. I refuse to support Meta, Mark Zuckerberg, and Elon Musk.
So, come join me, and other artist and pattern designers, on BlueSky!
