** Unregrettable Minutes ** (my /firstdraft ) Wednesday, /gmfarcaster had an interesting discussion about how different social media platforms make you feel about your time spent there. @adrienne noted that Elon's metric was 'unregrettable minutes.' And that's been in my head since hearing it. (BTW, many such cases on /gmfarcaster ) I think about how much time I spend here on FC, but I don't think I have many unregrettable minutes. If you scroll longer here or go down a rabbit hole, it's probably about learning or engaging, not the finer points of a meaningless squabble. (most weeks, most cases! 🤷‍♂️) And then I was thinking, @nounishprof & @adrienne put in a lot of time to build /gmfarcaster , not a lot of financial reward. I bet it's not a lot of regrettable minutes. And then this week, of course, @tako-unik & @pauline-unik building /los-fomos ...I bet their building isn't regrettable minutes *AND* I bet that was just as true for them a month ago before the crowdfund was even an idea. (I'm just thinking out loud, not speaking for anybody.) And we could list others, but those projects & builders come to mind in the moment. I think you could spend regrettable minutes here on FC, but it seems different because most people have a reason to be here that's bigger than other platforms. It can take a bit to recognize this reality and find that reason if you are new. But once you do, minutes become harder to regret. If you made it this far, I'm curious about your thoughts...is it (far) easier to spend time on FC in unregettable minutes than other places, and if so, why? If not, share those thoughts too.

Absolutely unregrettable! Generally I have the same judgement to life. This why I'm building and giving all of me to Los Fomos instead of building a career with a lucrative salary in an established company. Both require a lot of effort and sacrifices but only one of them is unregrettable and worth it all - Los Fomos!

ah nice, glad it was something that got you thinking :) I regret time spent elsewhere bc of the ratio of slop and rage bait compared to content that makes me smarter or fills me with awe

The time I spend here... I learn, I engage with fun and interesting people, I get inspired, I get to send postcards as far as the US and Afghanistan. There's not much to regret when spending time here. A while back, I was having a few days I was not very motivated. I sometimes got lost a bit in doomscrolling on instagram. Fun videos, but afterwards: all minutes spent there were regrettable. Aferwards, I just felt I could have spent my time more wisely. The last few times I visited X were all very short. Sub-minute visits. All of them so regrettable, that I have now deleted my X account. After 17 years. So yes. I'm here. And I find that memorable.
