** Reminded Of The Grind ** (my /firstdraft )

I love seeing this cast of @ponder reaching the top mini app usage this week

But something else stood out in @ba 's cast: 'it's been a long grind'

Maybe I shouldn't be surprised, but I was a little

To me, @ponder feels like people loved it from day 1, has a great community, & is steadily growing. Smooth sailing, right?

I forgot what it takes to get there & ben's cast reminded me. I had a conversation at FarCon w/ @cojo.eth & some of the @ponder team about their strategy & saw first hand how serious & committed they are to building Ponder

I'm glad to get this reminder today. It came from Ponder, but I'm sure it's true of many of the builders here--we probably take a bit for granted

It feels like this may also be true for @phil  as it seems like @ampsfun has been smooth climb. It looks like @jake & @qrcoindotfun is up and to the right. @tldr w/ bracky; @colin w/ @paragraph & many others

Today, I'm reminded of the grind & passing that reminder along to you.

I forget that I'm writing all the time when I'm making playlists with people - this is from an IDLES list which will be published next week.  I particularly liked this track write up - from back at the beginning of January but feels just as resonant now

This def feels like something I will iterate on, I really like how /firstdraft gets me out of the mindset that something needs to be perfect to publish

it was a good and bad weekend at the same time. 

a lot of bright memories and disappointed talks. 

so, before going to bed and starting new week some “sunday thoughts” as usual 

gn frens

The Spam Algo is on a rampage. Within the last week many have noticed their followers being purged everyday.  The disconnect between the public data set and reality is huge.  I've personally lost 9,142 people who within the last 10 days have lost their "good" spam label and have no idea because they have no way to check. You think engagements weird? It is...because when they loose their good label, you no longer see their engagement, or them.
