Don’t ever stop talking to each other. It’s what the internet is really and truly for. Talk to each other and listen to each other. But don’t ever stop connecting.

Love this line. I’m so sick of and disillusioned with social media filled with ads, hate, and more ads; it’s good to remember that there are still people that want to talk and to seek out places to do that. What a prescient article, thanks for sharing!

Every time I see this reposted I smile. It’s so well written and perfectly sums up my feelings on the internet.

Seriously, thanks so much for posting that. Every now and again it’s reassuring to hear someone put into words exactly what I fail to articulate. And so well articulated, too.

The fact that this was written before the enshittening of reddit really adds weight to the arguments within. I sigh and chef-kiss at the same time, if you can visualise that.

Well said, and so true!

Oh my this blog post has staying power. I read it, fortunately for me, about when I joined the fediverse, and it really set the tone and affirmed so much about what this whole thing is about.

And again and again, it comes up in my feeds as someone discovers it again.

I think this attitude is so worth having. Like the world can be a better place, we’ve seen what a better world looks like in little pockets before people slowly come in and ruin it, but we can get it back.
