Robin DeRosaInteresting to step away for a day and then come back here-- conversations are so much more ongoing and in-depth than on Twitter. Lovely, but also harder to pick up mid-stream.
Autumm@actualham I think this might be why I am having a hard time jumping in.
Dan Blickensderfer@Autumm @actualham I don't think I'm going to be able to deal long term without a configurable, columnar interface like Tweetdeck, to amplify signal from noise (tho not too noisy yet). Lists, Hashtags, Boolean Search Results as Columns, etc. Or, maybe my consumption patterns will change (I'm open to that).
Kate@Dan_Blick @actualham @Autumm I have the same reaction. I can skim Twitter quickly and catch up. Here I read back carefully, even it's harder work technically to find my way.
But I notice that navigational clunk makes me concentrate. Twitter's algorithmic summarising has made me lazy I think.
@katebowles @actualham @Autumm Yes! That's exactly the sort of "new tech sometimes changes information consumption patterns for the better" thought I was having. Lack of options for filtering forces us to be more careful readers, seeking out the wheat manually, intentionally. Even though I have the "Twitter's algorithmic summarising" turned off, to the degree that you can turn it off.
Clint Lalonde (he/him)@Dan_Blick @katebowles @actualham @Autumm I am finding longer length enables longer posts & deeper thoughts (good), but requires more time to digest & absorb. Also, bigger convos as I am seeing more ppl getting tagged on convo's than Twitter. That means more responses/voices to follow on a single thread. Longer posts and more ppl in convo both good, but it does add to the cognitive load to follow and particiapte.
