[ Push / Pull ]

There are many platform options to post opinions or intellectual property.

I learned about a key difference in platform types this week on the Ditching Hourly podcast with Jonathan Stark.

On type is the ubiquitous “feed” platforms (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram).  These push information onto you via algorithm.

A growing type of platform is a search platform (Reddit, private communities, and, interestingly, Pinterest).  These are ‘pull’ rather than ‘push’ platforms that you find by searching for them.

I’m pretty over feed/push platforms.  But finding the pull platforms I want to be on is hard work… because it’s not fed to me.
