On my other account I post photos with random musings and get a modest amount of likes. On this account I post various other geekery and sometimes shout opinions into the void. I can’t be arsed to actively try to build a following, so a void it will remain.

I wish at least a few more friends would come here and be active, so that it felt more like an actual chamber. Until then I’ll probably mostly be over at my other account, looking at photos of fungi, trees, and sunsets.

> ... be active Yeah I get ya, actual interaction seems to come at a premium > I wish ... Yup, me too. But... ATproto is still fairly new compared to ActivityPub, so perhaps as time goes by, it will get better?

In general I miss the old days when even strangers wouldn’t hesitate to comment and discuss. I miss web forums where a discussion could go on for days, months, even years. I even miss proper flame wars. Maybe Reddit would provide all that, but I’ve always felt a bit anti Reddit.

I really miss KOM, only not enough to host my own shell server for it.

Hmmm... is KOM still a viable thing? I haven't been on it for aaaages, but if it's still viable, I could actually see myself hosting it.

I believe lysKOM still is, but other instances have less or no activity.

Mm... these days, I'd like to make something distributed, to avoid the necessity to rely on one single host. ... come to think of it, it could probably be built on top of ATproto, all that's really needed is a language for proper linking of posts.

... and the possibility to make longer posts. Microblogging only gets us so far...

Yeah, I'm still at dreamwidth for journaling, but I've not used it proper for ages other than for checking my livejournal archive.
