I’m slowly organizing social content I follow into lists so I can filter out some categories from my main timeline one Mastodon/etc. and Bluesky. Ultimately I want this to be about connections and not performance/clicks/whatever.
Bf and I were just discussing the “old” (pre-algorithmic money vacuum) internet and RSS feeds. (Younger, so puzzlement.. LOL)
Un-ringing the engagement bell is going to take time (and patience) but a start is the non-algorithmic social web, including the various permutations of ActivityPub, RSS, Webmentions and more… some of which I’m reacquainting myself with as I go.
It just feels even more pressing as our major platforms and mainstream media control what, collectively, we get to know.
So this place is going to be about this experience of our society and….. well…. all of this.
I can’t promise more than writing here when I feel like I have something to say. Random posts on social media will likely continue unabated.
Anyway, if you’re reading this far… thanks. Lemme know. 🙂
