🔗 Social media is sugar. It’s time we limit its negative impact
If social media is analogous to sugar, then what is the digital equivalent of eating our vegetables? I believe it involves supporting the parallel growth of democratized publications that are conversely creating an unmistakable net good in society.
Besides supporting just publications, we should be supporting platforms that allow people to create their own garden and interact with web in an open manner. Finding the IndieWeb is what started me on the path to eating my vegetables again. -
🔗 A community isn’t a garden, it’s a bar.
But it’s almost 2023 now. The world is different, the online world is very different, and I’m pushing 50. So I think it’s time we all start talking about online gathering places with a more apt metaphor: bars.
Very apt description of online community. You can't have a good bar without a good bartender (community manager). The big social sites always try to outsource the bar tending to AI or outsourced moderators to save money, but it doesn't work. -
🔗 What is the Small Web?
The Small Web is for people (not startups, enterprises, or governments). It is also made by people and small, independent organisations (not startups, enterprises, or governments).
On the Small Web, you (and only you) own and control your own home (or homes).This is exactly what motivates me to work and build Tanzawa. The world needs a smaller web focused on people. The Small Tech principles are also bang on.
