Thanks for sharing these. The WIP tweet was interesting, but I’d want to learn more about what those reported actions were on the site and specific conversations that worked so well (need more detail).
Loved the essay, and have felt this way for years. The internet has always been filled with tons of fake BS, but now our attention is worth so much more and the perils of digital life way more documented and apparent (ie. value of mental health, spotlight on cyberbullying, fake news, etc). My time online has to really work for me, and now I find myself forcing new habits that enable digital-free time (no phone Saturday, etc). You’re cool if you’re not online, and I think the final thought in the essay expresses that point and suggest a structure for it: either the internet works in the very specific way we you need as an individual, or it’s worthless.
Sorry if this was unclear — I will send my thoughts (close the loop so to speak) on the two pieces linked here next week. Between now and then is everyone's time to read and form their own takeaways first!
