good observation about cartography. 2D vector maps make sense from a performance and cost standpoint, but that invitation to explore the world gets stripped away, and people end up being less curious by default.

i wonder how much impact switching the default to satellite imagery would have

custom algos for feeds are a thing already, so why not custom algos for the replies section as well?
I'm going back to Mastodon. I'm tired of having a minimum of one dumbass reply "I have no clue what you're talking about" every time I make a post.

i use them to:
- sand down my raw thoughts
- revisit past social interactions to surface any nuances/patterns
- run simulations of novel situations so i know how to navigate them when they actually happen. it’s a sandbox for decision-making and strategizing in the form of a text adventure game
