HIFA social media (X) volunteers and your thoughts on Bluesky (8) X/Twitter (4)

22 September, 2026

Over the years I have shared many posts related to HIFA and (while biased) I feel this has helped:

- spread awareness of HIFA; my work trying to focus on Hodges' model, global health, information and improving quality and access to health services:

So thank you for the content over the years - which is much appreciated.

While 'blogspot' is a poor choice now for a web presence, many posts on my blog appear to have a 'long tail'.

On 'X' since Aug 2007, I've shared HIFA content there, but the lack of engagement (no re-tweets*) makes it a waste of effort.

Key though is that without being 'verified' - having a paid account, your tweets (followers) have little exposure, so you help no-one in truth.

I joined Bluesky later, and post occasionally, as Ann L. noted there are some suspect accounts but moderation is apparent (the temperature is less febrile, no 'fever' evident).

I think the lesson is - of course - to continually reassess - your situation and the information/social media environment.

I continue to stare in the headlights, wishing for a new platform Substack?

Perhaps (hope above hope...) a more reasonable, less polarised and constructive time will return?

Best to all,

*chicken and egg situation ack.
