Someone replied to one of my Toots yesterday saying that they "didn't have a life worth Tooting about."

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Earlier I posted about having to do laundry and how I kept putting it off for 3 days. Only a few people responded, but we still made a brief but fun connection. Not because we were told to meet by some algorithm, but because of circumstance.

Kind of like if I had gone to a laundromat.

Connections, even brief ones, can be meaningful.

@Mrfunkedude I was thinking about this recently, after seeing people talk about owning your content, blogging, IndieWeb, etc. It all sounds great until I start wondering what I would put out there and whether it would be worth all the effort. You make a good point, though, about those laundromat-type interactions. I think they get discounted as artificial because they're with with random internet strangers, but why isn't the same standard applied to interactions at the laundromat?
