Not enough interesting people. Most of the early accounts on here just aren’t very interesting people, at least to the broader world. Many of those accounts became enshrined here as tastemakers. Result is that cringe-y hustle-y, crypto-y people who aren’t interesting in the bigger world do well here in this small one. Which then repels many new people (interesting and not).

Closed the twitter account I had for 18 years. Early posts were things like “need more coffee.” Such simple innocent moments, looking back. Funny how networked life potentiates both foreverness and ephemerality. The trivial and banal become permanent, but the personal connections and traces of meaning disappear in a click.
