As you might have guessed by now, all this is to say: I'm writing on #bearblog now and I intend to post regularly on there (at least until the spirit of consistency graces my mind-cavern with the persistence of her visits).

And even if I end up breaking off again, when I return to #blogging I will return on there. One way or another, it will be where my words find home on the #interwebz

Fear of the personal

This sounds silly from someone having a personal blog, but I’m sometimes having a hard time writing personal things on my blog. How ironic, right? I think this fear stems from having written a mountain of incredibly cringey personal things in the first incarnations of my blog, having made very complicated social experiences in the past, and to some degree, from where I’m from.

I used to […]

Fear of the personal

This sounds silly from someone having a personal blog, but I'm sometimes having a hard time writing personal things on my blog. How ironic, right? I think this fear stems from having written a mountain of incredibly cringey personal things in the first incarnations of my blog, having made very complicated social experiences in the past, and to some degree, from where I'm from. I used to write literally just what I was thinking in my blog between 2005 and 2008 (and also before that, but on a web 1.0 website rather than a blog). This was a completely disorganized [...]

Quitting social media (mostly)

About a month ago, I stopped using almost all of my social media (with the exception of Instagram). It’s been an interesting month and I still have mixed feelings about it.

I’ve been using Twitter since around 2008, so I’ve been there since its early days. I stopped using Twitter actively a little bit before it was acquired by the Muskrat, and once that happened, I deactivated my account […]

Quitting social media (mostly)

About a month ago, I stopped using almost all of my social media (with the exception of Instagram). It's been an interesting month and I still have mixed feelings about it. I've been using Twitter since around 2008, so I've been there since its early days. I stopped using Twitter actively a little bit before it was acquired by the Muskrat, and once that happened, I deactivated my account there and moved first to Mastodon, and later also to Bluesky. I have not particularly enjoyed Twitter for a long, long time even before it went to shit. Twitter (and its [...]

#introtoot

I'm what you might call a professional lurker upon the web. Okay maybe professional is a bit extreme; let's just say I'm a connoisseur of #websurfing with a minor in weblurking.

I've grown up alongside the #interwebz and drenched myself in the various stages, waves, and phases of its evolution. As a consequence, my interests are similarly scattered and all-encompassing. But mostly I like patterns: from the cognitive to the pixelated.

So, hello 👋

Ich habe keine Lust mehr auf The #Interwebz. Speziell #Facebook, #Xitter und #LinkedIn haben mir den Spaß versaut. Unter @laberer habe ich im #uhleblog ein paar viele Worte dazu aufgeschrieben.

The Interwebz: Soziale Netzwerke sind tot - Henning Uhle

Es gibt keinen Grund, warum ich den Artikel "The Interwebz" überschriftet habe. Aber es gibt halt auch keinen Grund, irgendwas XYZ 2.0 zu nennen. So kommt das.

#Funfact: #DeltaHeavy predicted that  would become   in the music video to their Song "Ghost" where we see the #Twitter #Bird puking up an #AI / #VoiceAssistant (a #Siri clone) ad and then dying on the edges of the #Interwebz.

I’m excited I can read posts from threads without dealing with their dreaded ads and data stealing. Too bad no one uses it anymore

@sarahjamielewis we can bring that back together...

@vantablack 's #FediPact [ https://fedipact.online ] and @aral 's #Web0Manifesto [ https://web0.small-web.org ] are just the first steps to end the #GAFAM-ruled #corporatocracy of the #Interwebz!
