I feel people are being a bit too negative here lately. We are few and even fewer are constantly active, welcome to the smolnet.
I'd love to be more active here but the fact that I have little "calm time" and relatively little to share makes it really hard for me to contribute meaningful conversations, at least without compromising quality.
In the last post by ~ew, the way you described other's people relationship with the smolnet as "therapy from addictive short form interactions" really struck with me; lately I'm feeling both overwhelmed and starved of interactions at the same time, but I don't use social networks, so what's going on?
I still have no idea. Seriously.
One hint might be how _everything_ seems to revolve around SNs lately. From TV stuff to the ads on the street, everything seems to _encourage_ a short attention span. I feel like I'm swimming upstream. What if this is spilling over to how society interacts altogether?
Still I feel like, in a way, that _that's_ the point of a place like this. To have sporadic but long interactions with other people looking to chill at that time. Obviously a pub is going to have bursts of interactions and not a constant stream of people.
Those are my 2cts.
