Topics: reading paths for your needs

Choose your path

Build an initial use rather than being present everywhere. A short path helps compare, try and keep what actually serves you.

Account settings, post visibility, activity maps and recipients’ copies require separate checks.

Treat text, image, sound and languages as parts of the same message. Readers should understand and act in different viewing conditions.

Creative work should be findable, understandable and presented with appropriate rights. Portfolio and distribution can serve different roles.

Organise responsibilities, posts and replies before multiplying accounts. A small team needs a method that survives absences.

Separate discovery, verification and citation. A feed or network helps find a lead; it does not turn the lead into evidence.

Choose measures that inform decisions. Preserve definitions, counts and limits when presenting results.

Choose a space for expected conversations and the team able to support them. Prepare welcome, rules and appeal routes.
