Hey folks 👋
@simonbs recently mentioned how genuine, human blogging doesn't get the attention from The Algo's, internet's dead, etc.
I suggest a crafty countermeasure:
Swift Blog Carnival.
A host per month, setting a topic, gathering posts from the community. 🔁
To bring the community of writers together and also showcase smart people who don't have an audience.
WDYT? @mattiem @donnywals @twostraws @azamsharp @dimsumthinking @helge @natpanferova @marioguzman
I volunteer to set this up

I tried to get Apple to consider something like this for swift.org. Imo (having done this before for Java for Sun) there needs to be a small paid staff or it quickly dies out. (Once it was successful for 5 years Sun got rid of the staff and it died out)
