  • I think people are used to a web that’s solely focused on viral content as opposed to deeply engaging content. For that reason people don’t think their contributions are valuable and decide to not post.

    The truth of the matter is actually that real communities are dependent on the non viral content. So it’s important to reframe how we act in a more tight knit web community and treat it more like a party than a competition to have the most viral piece of media.

    The sooner we can get back to casual conversation as a means for real community building, the sooner we can get away from the perpetual viral doom scroll environments.



  • Wow. I’m shook that you chose this passage. It was literally my favorite passage in the first portion of the book.

    My jaw dropped when I read this and I took a photo of it and stored it in my phone. I have an album of excerpts for quick reference and this was one of them. Love that this resonated with you as much as it did for me.

    And yes… all this through Lemmy makes it seem like it is truly the first step in our collective heroes journey. We just have to return to the centralized lands to tell of the federated and decentralized lands ;)
