There's a reason I end up rewatching this @bobchipman.bsky.social video every several months. It is nostalgia for me, but also an excellent essay on why this movie stuck and what it means. If you haven't watched it, do so.

"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago."
If you think it is necessary to be on Twitter to communicate your fact-based worldview, the reality is that worldview is being smothered.
Just because nobody believes in RSS doesn't mean RSS is dead. Clap if you believe in RSS!
Also I updated my /feeds page. artlung.com/feeds/

“I have a message for all the ships in this infernal place.”
Sturgeon's Law applies.
I don’t care if this line of thinking comes off as naïve or soft. I have been studying social behavior online since the web was born. People who treat online interactions like a game do the same in real life. They should never be put in charge of anything. They are sociopaths.
To be good at trolling online you must be empathetic enough to know how to trigger other people‘s emotions and sociopathic enough not to care about them.
I spent some time this morning adding a category of "social verb" to #IndieWeb wiki entries for things which are about social interactions on personal websites and silos alike. indieweb.org/Category:soc...
I wanna publish zines and rage against machines
