I went on a binge, signing up at every small population place I could find. BBSes, Pubnixes, gemini hosts, little chat things, you name it. I hope Cosmicā¢Voyage is fun, Iāll be writing there soon.
I donāt have any unique ideas about The Big Bad Web, but Iām convinced we need more isolated places. At least I need them. SmallPop (or SmolPop?) is what I call it, and it is what it says: a small population of people, isolated from the Web, who can become whatever they like together, without the drama.
I nearly signed up at gemlog.blue but itās not quite a SmallPop. Your gemlog is shared over HTTP. Besides, itās accumulated lots of fembots now, and thatās sad. The key to SmallPop is not just the population, but the isolation. The moment you connect to the borg, you become the borg, is what mother always says.
Anyway this capsule, I dunno, right? Iām on ctrl-c.club, which is an amazing SmallPop tilde with verifiable geniuses. Maybe some of it will rub off on me while I struggle to learn linux assembly. Always wanted to make a real app in assembly, and ctrl-c is my āmoral supportā plan.
Besides code, I write a lot of fiction, but itās sitting on my hard drive as a dream deferred. Shyness, I suppose. Iāll be posting that, too.
Finally: hello to you, Iām glad you came. I hope my stuff is worth a sip of tea or two. Thank you for spending time with me, I appreciate you.
