🐢 Keb True! I think I love that @lucian decided against images. I think that makes the site way more snappier to load and also easier to scan with the eyes. But agree about the silo-ing part.

🗨️ Fui That seems an acute observation. The bigger the platform, the less likely it is to engage in meaningful exchanges. When broadcasting something, who are we talking to? We're either trying to reach someone or simply throwing words into the wind. With a smaller community we have the advantage of being more grounded. If we shout out something, there's a higher chance someone will hear. And that ends up demanding we're overall more thoughtful in what we say.

🐢 Keb Perhaps this is what I need to do on Mastodon. I guess my issue is just that -- I don't know who the good people are to follow! It's easy enough on Twitter, because everyone has a Twitter, so the people I find interesting are certainly on there (but I don't like the Twitter experience in general, so I avoid it). Hoping nitter.net eventually has features for logging in and creating a personal feed. :)
