This amazing pair of posts by @kissane on what ails Mastodon offer fantastic insights into why a given social media platform works â or doesnât â & why the fediverse will face existential growing pains until people apply the lessons she shares at scale. https://erinkissane.com/mastodon-is-easy-and-fun-except-when-it-isnt

@brad262run @drvolts oh interesting - and yes, I think so.
Thank you!
This starts with children. When I became a parent I realized I was automatically assuming that when my child was objecting to something or crying/whining it was because she was trying to get away with something or manipulate me - and I realized how effed up that is.
Children do not appear in the world and somehow start scheming.
Interesting thought; most Americans gaslight themselves because of how pervasive gaslighting is in our society.
In my decades of consulting, people more often donât or canât change how they work not because there is any rule or leadership mandate but because they believe it is not acceptable to do something differently.
@dangillmor this is a great profile.
I am fascinated by the âkeepers of the flameâ so-to-speak that help untangle historical narrative. It feels a lot like Heather Cox Richardsonâs Letters from an American in purpose.
I am very curious about what keeps them going - there is the obvious but also a very strong motivation to contribute so much, so consistently and thoroughly.

This is a beautiful piece if reflection from @mariapopova with advice about what to do when your parents are dying.
I lost my father in my mid-20s. He was my North Star and coming to terms with being adrift was earth-shattering and then, ultimately, redemptive. It flattened me and then set me free.
In some ways it it was a gift that it happened when I was old enough to understand and reflect on its impact but young enough to benefit from that growth.
