Internet emerged in living memory. Pocket sized communication box emerged in living memory, social media, which despite its flaws allowed working class people to communicate with each other at scale for the first time ever, emerged in living memory. This man’s “living memory” is ten minutes long

The walled garden is constructed to keep us on five sites, give or take. And it’s worked for fifteen years or more. That’s where most people are now.

The bots are noticeable now. In volume and in volume and in content. Dead Internet is real.
When you overwork a field, you have to give it time to lay fallow before you can use it again. But that doesn’t mean you can’t experiment in the mean time.

And I’m at the point now where I’m starting to write it off outside of my own poster’s participation in it.
I get stuck in eddies of information I’m at best medium-interested in for days, weeks at a time.
Sometimes I think the algo’s breaking down. Sometimes I think it’s running as intended.

The slipstream of algorithmic information delivery sucks. Like, sucks. I’m happy for the people that can thrive in that, but it makes my bones itch.

I had an ok sized account at the other place. Not huge by any stretch, but 5 figures. I left in 2015 when the vibes tanked the first time and I’ve been in low power mode ever since.
