Oh yeah if anybody saw how I had been posting on mastodon instead of on this blog for a few years, I have now bailed on that and I’m back to just posting on this blog. The fediverse is a cool idea and I learned a ton from the experience of trying to use that as my main online presence, but my reasons are as follows:
There are more reasons but if I’ve lost interest in writing more at this point I’m sure you’ve lost interest in reading more. So that’s it – I’m back to just this blog. And guess what? I’m re-impressed with wordpress and rss. What a mindbogglingly amazing project and ecosystem that got so so so so much right so long ago.
Sadly I can’t find hardly anyone I’m interested in following, but I’m finally at the point where I realize there’s a good reason for that. Most of the kinds of people I want in my life mostly don’t post stuff online period. Seriously, even when I check the feeds of my old big-tech social media accounts I notice that my real friends just haven’t posted stuff in years. Maybe one or two posts a year for big life updates. Posting stuff online one-to-many for anybody to go and see/read really isn’t for most normal people. So funny that it took like 15 years for that to click with me when people with more solid sense gut checked right away and were like… nah. The ones still posting mostly either want some kind of personal gain (more power to ya) or are caught up in predatory systems (hey, aren’t we all?). There are definite exceptions like artists, people connecting across cultures, people finding real community… it’s just too bad the good things have to fight for room within broken systems.
But yeah, anything further I put into those ecosystems will only be for personal gain and I’ll try to keep myself out of the predatory loops. For the few real genuine things I still want to post publicly one-to-many online as infinitely copyable and transmissible-at-the-speed-of-light bits, this blog is your one-stop-shop.

Yes, tear down the “classics” and rebuild our relationship with history from scratch. The real lessons of real history are too critical to keep running in circles with these destructive myths for more generations https://twitter.com/platanoclassics/status/1356618897844232199?s=19
We especially need to break our bizarre focus on this arbitrary temporal/geographic slice. Our lens needs to expand in time frame and be global for discourse to even start making any sense
Lately my position on moral/political grey area questions has been boiling down to: “well personally I'm not quite sure… but it's a clear violation of starfleet regulation so hard no”
