Yeah I really wish they would at least tag them or something. It’s a hard operation to reverse or even audit

If you’ve given this explicit thought, I’d love to hear about it!

That would mean I should basically avoid most other people’s starter packs. Hmmm.

Not sure where this line of thinking will take me. Thinking out loud. but seems particularly pressing to figure out given our challenges ahead.

2) Could be a useful exercise, a la Cal Newport digital minimalism, to define what I want and then see IF this is a tool for that.

Early Twitter that was keeping up with people I already knew and sometimes meeting new people. Emphasis on “people”

I’m having a hard time On Here in the same way I did on the bird site: I don’t really have a clear goal for being here, so I followed some starter pack people.

Belated thanks for this reply, it was helpful! Hope you’re well :)

Honest question: why is this place not just Twitter 2.0?

Can’t really bring myself to invest in another place that can be yanked away and not sure why no one else is talking about this

I love this example of how everywhere we look is basically a fractal of human effort—every single item (and all its components) have been obsessed over by someone else.

The Tail End — Wait But Why No matter what your age, you may, without realizing it, be enjoying the very last chapter of the relationships that matter most to you. Make it count.

I read this when it first came out almost eight years ago. It's one of those rare pieces of writing that's simply been in my brain and heart ever since.

If you are lucky enough to be heading to hang out with your parents, grandparents, or young children this week, I hope you read it too.
