It’s gotten so bad that I have pretty much 100% retreated to smaller communities for discussions and go on social media to doomscroll which I m trying to cut down. Social media just doesn’t seem worth it anymore. This app is way better still, but who knows how long that will last.
I honestly think we are experiencing the end of the internet as those of us born in the 20th c understand it. Smaller, siloed communities like discord servers and newsletters will persist, but the idea of the global public square is dead, as is “the information superhighway.” VCs killed it.
it genuinely sucks that basically nothing on the internet works well anymore. search? barely works. social media? filled with garbage engagement-bait designed to game the algorithm. news websites? pages that refresh at random or so covered in video ads that it’s impossible to read stories

I started listening to Kaiju Preservation Society by @scalzi.com today and it made me go on a super long walk in the heat just to keep listening. 1/3 of the way it’s a lot of fun, has a bunch of interesting twists and is very self aware. Absolutely loving it! Bonus: Wil Wheaton is narrating.

I guess I’m on here too now. Hope this app goes better than the other one.
