"There's something quietly beautiful about a place where people just... share what they know. No brand deals, no engagement metrics, no algorithm nudging you toward rage. Just someone who spent twenty years studying Arctic policy posting a thread at 2 AM because they think you should understand what's happening. It's the internet I was promised in 1996."

I can't immediately find the author Mat Duggan on Mastodon to credit him. I can, however, thank and credit @Ruth_Mottram for sharing the essay. And for being, if she doesn't mind me saying so, precisely one of those experts who generously share their knowledge with us - a leading climate scientist who toots from her fieldwork and her research and her lab because she wants us to know what's happening.

"The Fediverse became the only reliable source of information I had. People posted links with a minimal amount of commentary, picking and choosing the best content from other social media networks. They’re not doing it to “build a brand” because that’s not a thing in the Fediverse. It’s too disjointed to be a place to build a newsletter subscription base. Instead it became the only place consistently posting trustworthy information I could actually access."

I never expected to find so much quiet pleasure from the posts of an erudite, civilized, dignified, kind, GOOD person from the other side of the planet, but here we are. Thank you.
