I have been collecting social media sites, and practicing posting and sharing on each one I collected. Now I can share some of my techniques with all of you.
First, make a bookmark list with all of the sites you want to Boost Biden on. Firefox lets me put it in an easily editable menu on the Bookmarks toolbar. Let me know if there are issues in other browsers.
Let’s start with yesterday’s Boost.
President Biden was the first president to recognize Indigenous Peoples' Day: Boosting Biden Day 55
Outline
- Gather what you need in a text file where you can copy and paste it all at once.
- Go to Twitter, which has the most stringent posting limit.
- Paste it all in.
- Edit it down to one tweet, or into a thread of tweets.
- Post.
- You might want to bookmark the result.

In October 2021, Joe Biden became the first to officially recognize a day celebrating their history, presence, and importance.
Biden becomes first president to issue proclamation marking Indigenous Peoples' Day
"The contributions that Indigenous peoples have made throughout history — in public service, entrepreneurship, scholarship, the arts, and countless other fields — are integral to our Nation, our culture, and our society," Biden wrote in the proclamation October 8. "Today, we acknowledge the significant sacrifices made by Native peoples to this country — and recognize their many ongoing contributions to our Nation."

You can paste the Dark Brandon image into the edit window on some sites. Others only let you upload images from your own computer. So you likely should save t
Paste and Edit
Twitter
This entire text is 461 characters too long for Twitter. Here it is edited down.
Twitter automatically picks up the top image from the page linked to.
And here it is threaded. After the first segment, Twitter picks up segments in pairs.
Facebook
You can paste the entire message into a Facebook draft on your home page. The Dark Brandon image will automagically appear. Post it there.
Then go to the Share menu below the draft, with the right-pointing curved arrow. Select Share to a Group. A list of the groups you belong to appears. If you are in lots of groups, as I am, the list will be scrollable. The scrollbar on the right only appears if you click in that area.
Select a group. Facebook will prompt you to add a comment at the top. I add
Dark Brandon for the win!
You can share to as many or as few groups as you like. Please don’t share to a group if another of us has already done it.

Tribel
The New Post button is at the top left.
Paste in everything. The image automagically appears.

Can You Help?
Wherever you go, search for Boosting Biden, like, share, follow. Some time I will write about vetting and following back those who follow me wherever.
I’m going to test all of this next week, and time myself. That means that I have to resist liking or clicking on anything else during the test. We’ll see.
It would be really great if we could post all of our previous Boosts to each of these platforms. I am currently writing six diaries a week, and harvesting material on a variety of topics, so I don’t know when I could get to them all.
Also I have kind of a life outside of DK that I should spend some time on.
