My website used to have a blog roll. Then I thought links sections were moot because social media was where the network was happening.

Now I think we should be in charge of our connections more than ever.

My About page has a blog roll again! Every link points to a site maintained by a real, beautiful human person.

@twilliability Thank you for sharing your list! It's now one of the few bookmarks on my phone :-)

@twilliability I'm very honored to be in that list :-) Even if I haven't written much lately. I do have a blog hidden there: https://hamoid.com/post/ Lately I spent more time on my newsletter.

And I will copy you on this and add my own small list :-) I think it creates a better and more interesting Internet.

I think I stopped writing when I started using Twitter. For years I thought I should quit and go back to writing on my own site. At least I'm good at closing social media accounts :-)

@twilliability Another thing that has stopped me lately is the thought that there is too much stuff online. Do I have unique things to say that haven't been said already?

At times I struggle because I don't want to add more distraction, compete for attention, occupy more RAM and SSDs, add to the energy consumption...

Sometimes I wish platforms had limits and we could post only once per day on each (on social networks, dating sites...) Our posts would be more valuable, maybe of more quality.

@hamoid I feel this! I have also been posting new blog-like texts at less than 1/year recently... But there's been so much else going on.

I now think of putting things on my site also as documenting. Will future-me be happy to have this stuff in a single place to look up? If yes, that's a good reason.

BTW I really like your newsletter. It's accessible and fun! Newsletters are kind of my favorite format these days.

@twilliability That's great! Now this is good motivation for me to finally finish my website and to make it cool enough that you'd deem it worthy of including a link to it there.

@Metamere Just do it! It doesn't matter what I think.
