"I read a comment on one of your posts that said, “this helps me realize that if I just put my phone away for a while, a lot of stuff feels exactly the same way it did 20 years ago.” There’s a longing for a time when going online felt like an option or a destination, now it's this ambient thing that everyone is a part of." good convo between molly soda and tvwishes about flickr and other things https://mollysoda.substack.com/p/interview-tvwishes

here is an article i've found useful documenting much of what many of us already know. i would urge people to read and share it. much of what's happening is not new & has very large implications for privacy & 'being.' https://thebeckysharp.medium.com/ai-cant-stop-the-cult-recruiting-women-in-its-blind-spots-dd9a9c2d0aa0

haven't felt like casting in a while with all the bots and memecoins consuming the timeline (not really my thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) but i've been generally more offline since the election happened anyways i also started working on adding links sections to my homepage. here's a new blog post about feeling bad and processing the last couple weeks and trying to pick myself up again (╥_╥) https://ellesho.me/page/website/now/#windows-or-mirrors

"the market dynamics of social media have affected absolutely every corner of the internet and, therefore, “real life” [...] Now all the damned Internet works as a social media platform, and this will shape people’s perception of the world. Just like Marshall McLuhan said: "We shape our tools and then our tools shape us." this piece reminded me of a convo i had last week with someone thru my homepage. they said they wanted to leave the main web and only be on the small internet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ my response was that i didn't think that was possible bc the world is so entangled with the big internet these days. turning away and leaving the tools to bad ppl won't prevent the effects they will have on everyone irl. good ppl need to show good alternative uses for the tools https://www.animanoir.xyz/blog/2024/the-death-state-of-the-internet/

like many things, i'm slow to find or engage with. finding tilde town "townies" seems like a real fun, eclectic group. i love this design representation of each account in dots, brightness correlated to recent activity! found interesting music, prose, all sorts of things there! https://tilde.town/

if u can't tell from the links i've been sharing lately, i've been researching weird networks and web community structures – mostly out of feeling exhausted by standard social networks (╥_╥) and wanting to find fun things online as an antidote here's a community that u can join that's all on a 1.44mb floppy disk (๑>ᴗ<๑) kind of like a more extreme version of a tilde ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://sectordisk.pw

hmm yea, a bit strange. maybe they would implying that they could have potentially done more with their resources instead of mining data for marketing etc. dunno. i agree i always enjoyed just searching and searching and finding random content from all over the world. i think it was my initial draw to nfts and crypto, people creating from all over and expression (in its purest form i suppose). i've been slowly identifying how to get away from the subscriptions and detach from big companies, but the weening process has been slow.

a beautifully written piece about having your own space on the internet and doing the slow worthwhile work of cultivating it – as opposed to the the fast and easy spaces that are everywhere "A website is, among other things, a container. The shape of that container both constrains and makes possible what goes within it. This is, I think, one of the primary justifications for having your own website. Not just so you can own your stuff (for some meaning of “ownership,” in a culture in which any billionaire can scrape your work without permission and copyright only protects the rich). Not just so you have a home base among the shifting winds of the various platforms, which rise and fall like brush before the fire. Not just so you can avoid setting up camp in a Nazi bar. But also so that you can shape the work—so that you can give shape to it, and in that shaping make possible work that couldn’t arise elsewhere." https://aworkinglibrary.com/writing/coming-home
