The Entire Internet Is a UGC Reaction Video Now
I keep a folder in Apple Notes called “cursed websites,” where I save various artefacts that make me feel like the social contract has dissolved. Call it an act of self-loathing. Call it collecting evidence of the fall. Dansugc.com went straight into the folder this morning. It’s a

Marshall McLuhan is famous for his observation that the form of a communication technology can shape our mind and society The age of the printed book, for example, carried with it a particular way of being. Regardless of the differing content of different books, all books required a particular mindset in which a thread is followed from the beginning to the end through an arc I feel the age of social media is like the age of a ripped up book, as if we were surrounded by torn shards and shreds of paper floating like confetti around us. We grab for them, hoping for some tiny insight, but not having any way of knowing where it fits in the overarching narrative This note is one such shard. You can toss it away now

I’m thinking “I’ve bought a copy of a book, and now the book blob lives in my PDS”
Post-Archive-Everything
For me personally there is a journey here - I was a firm believer in archive everything. This peaked in a period where I was very interested in IPFS, CIDs, CAS, etc. Now, the next step. Post-Archive(-Everything). Through a series of conversations I came to the conclusion that forgetting is probably more powerful than remembering. The links in this collections play a similar note, or are related to my understanding of this.
Semble collections / people to follow
This does in fact get a little circular and confusing BUT I did actually want to bookmark certain accounts so I could come back and look at their collections. Note: this is NOT all accounts (I thought about it but didn't want to go there as this grows.)
