A Non-Meta Site for Talking About Cocktails
January 18, 2025
Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Threads, etc) is a rotten corporation, and if you, like me, wish to spend significantly less time on them yet still remain in community with fellow cocktail enthusiasts and bartenders, there are a few alternative spaces.
They include:
Bluesky (find my profile here) that is just New Twitter. I like it a lot but it’s bad for threaded discussions.
Reddit - A site I don’t really use, but I see that the Cocktails subreddit has 377,000 members, so it’s mostly low quality posts there. I would like to be there more often (or on )
Might I suggest:
Here you’ll find some of the smartest folks from the early part of the craft cocktail renaissance, including David Wondrich, Robert Hess, Martin Doudoroff, Robert Simonson, and others. And me!
One thing I’ll suggest: go to your settings and set it up to email you with updates daily or weekly - We’re all so used to going to Facebook or Instagram them out from there, so it’s a good way to remind you that it exists if you forget (as I do).
