really interesting new piece from the Atlantic on ED cultures online: www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Because of the paywall, here's the tl;dr #icsfeed

Full disclosure I haven't read the article yet, but I've been mulling a lot about the community aspect of ED and tradwife spaces on tiktok. I have some guesses why people join these spaces, but I've also been thinking that the community element must make it even harder to leave than Tumblr days.

hi all! I run the “(Internet) Culture” custom feed, currently in beta testing! Use #icsfeed to join the conversation.
