@dlakelan I'm warming to Fediverse and Mastodon. Lots of people dabble here, and it takes a long time to find people who are actually engaged with it.

@dlakelan Now I'm beginning to wonder if the internet can still perform its original function—to keep people communicating after a massive disruption.
It can't keep people communicating NOW. . .
Referring to the whole dueling-realities war we're going through. What good is communicating if you can't trust/believe the reply?

@dlakelan Really wish more than literally one 40+ year old within a reasonable travel distance was on here. I'm tired of explicitly mentioning being a hobbyist programmer and people acting like I'm a stereotypical Amish person for daring to not have a Facebook or Instagram account.
Am I cursed to forever be too distant from the cool people on the internet to hang out IRL?! /hj

@dlakelan I feel seen and a little attacked but in a good way and i feel ambivalent about it.
Also i am glad to see people 40- are here too! -

@dlakelan the underlying good tech is still there - should probably set up an own web server that allows traffic only from Lynx.

@MaryAustinBooks @iakobsdesamos @dlakelan it's been a few years since I've updated my blog but I still host the whole thing back to the early days of personal websites. And you can too!
Whenever you write can become part of training data sets and you can have some fun with that.
@douglasvb @MaryAustinBooks @iakobsdesamos @dlakelan and with https://marginalia-search.com/ you can find it again. It's so beautiful and strange to see the old web again

@dlakelan I don't regret helping build the web. I regret letting businesses take it over.
