@StaceyHolleran Ty heaps! It took a while, but am back even :)
I think I’m well enough to be back! It’s been a long time !
I haven’t forgotten you any! I promise! Recovered from sick only to break a wisdom tooth! Is not fun! Much love x
Still sick as anything but while I’m out of bed, wishing you all a very merry Christmas! 💖😘
Just the quickest of notes that I’m not meaning to be rude, struck down with sickness and trying to organise Christmas isn’t very fun for me, promise I’ll be back to reply as soon as I can 💖
@eniko when you’re an artist, your audience is your community, so no one should be hassling anyone?!
@yudel @bkeegan @lemay well, at least after Bitcoin was worth more than $1..
@bkeegan @lemay I never met anyone who has lived through Usenet and then RSS who failed to see through the crypto hype.
@bkeegan Though the 4chan-like sections of the Fediverse *exist*. Don’t also underestimate the power of moderation and especially the power of labor. I think that’s the other lesson in this. Social media spent decades thinking labor didn’t “scale” and trying to replace labor with technology. The Fediverse remembered that decentralized labor scales with the network. (Just like Usenet and RSS.) The modern need is moderation tools that enhance labor efforts and not get in their way.
It’s never not going to be funny that after years of hype about crypto-metaverse-subscriptions disrupting web2 incumbents, the backstop to Twitter’s sudden implosion was volunteers recreating Usenet with RSS.
