A simple technique called “POSSE” offers the best of both worlds: total control over your own work, while still maintaining a presence on third-party social media platforms.
@molly0xfff Of course, the acronym might be new but the concept isn't -- to a degree the lj->Dreamwidth appraoch where you'd crosspost to twitter and Facebook (and Livejournal, for a minute) was a variant of this.
But what strikes me is "and domains I rent" -- is this brevity, or an assertion that one rents domains one has registered rather than owning them?
I'd say that ownership is closer (under most registrars) even though you have to pay an annual fee or lose them.
