  • 🔗 Living Like It's 99: No Social Media, No Smartphone

    At the time of writing this article, I’ve been living without social media for 3 years and without a smartphone for 2 years. Everything started as an experiment motivated by my privacy concerns.
    Not such a bad idea...he says after having just purchase an iPhone 14 😬

  • 🔗 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. 

  • 🔗 No Social Media Club

    The first rule of no-social-media-club is that you shut your yap about no-social media club.

    For years I’ve wondered why 99% of articles about quitting social media are written by people who haven’t quit social media. Sure, they “quit” for a week, a month, or in rare cases, a year.
    This post rings too true.

  • 🔗 You either die an MVP or live long enough to build content moderation | Mux blog

    If you run a UGC platform (User Generated Content) you either die with an MVP ("minimum viable product") or live long enough to the point that you have to build content moderation. It’s a story as old as the internet and a topic that is seldom discussed.
    This is why I'm fairly certain I'll never make a service out of Tanzawa and or hosting Tanzawa-based blogs. I have zero interest in playing that cat and mouse game.

  • 🔗 A Guide to Using RSS to Replace Social Media – Luke Smith

    RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is the best way to keep tabs on things online. While social media sites have tried to replace it, it is still the best way to consoooome content, even on social media sites.
    I’ve been trying to do this lately. After trimming my actual YouTube subscriptions, I added the few channels I really care about to my RSS reader.

    I had been toying with doing the same for Twitter, glad to see it’s possible albeit with a proxy site 🙄.

    But one thing for sure, it’s a much calmer experience.
