Also: I feel like I'm swimming upstream against Facebook's algorithms, because when I post something cute about Maurice Sendak's reply to a child's fan letter, I get literally dozens of likes, and when I post a well-researched article on the Koch brothers withdrawing from national races in 2016, I get...three.

(I didn't post the Sendak post here only because it was a repost from someone else on my Facebook feed. If there's interest, I'll repost here.)

Edit: I have evidence that people thought that Koch brothers post was interesting because of the traffic it got on LiveJournal. Again, it's hard to tease out what is audience and what is algorithm, but on LJ I don't have to guess what an algorithm is doing to my posting visibility.

It does! It's why I try to repost everything except things explicitly reposts from within Facebook or posts strictly about Facebook to my other social networking sites: LiveJournal, dreamwidth, Google+, and sometimes, within the limitations of the format, Twitter.

I don't always succeed, but in some cases I also post things I've written about Facebook elsewhere as well.

I feel like I should make sure my content goes to lots of different networks. :)

I appreciate it, because I don't use Facebook or Twitter at all.
