I want to cry when I think about the blog and lolcat glory days of the 2000s.@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.

@dlakelan so true, got a whole retirement plan for disconnected, face to face, third space building. Maybe I can atone and enjoy art, music and community. . .

One of my big problems with Discord is that people treat it like it's a "safe" replacement for the Web that was stolen from us, when no, Discord is "theirs" to begin with. -

@dlakelan In hindsight, we did fall for the assumption that large centralized architectures built by benevolent dictators would work because we seemed to believe that technical competency and benevolence were hand in hand, and not a particular artifact of a particular, I'm not sure yet... Generation? Generation and geography? Dirty hippie technophiles in Silicon Valley? All of the above? None of the above? Wishful thinking?
Whatever it was, we failed to learn the lesson that history teaches about ceding territory to kings.
