I'm enjoying how online system minimalism turns out to be a halfway decent filter, such that people I'd probably not want to interact with anyway don't even make it through the gate of a place insufficiently belled and whistled for their tastes, i.e. to whom appearances seemingly far outweigh actual conceptual capital that's far closer to the mind metal.
I mean, okay, I get that "a picture is worth a thousand words". But it occurs to me I rarely want a thousand words - let alone thousands and thousands as tends to be the case in online places with appearances focus.
I just want to temporarily seemingly inhabit other minds from time to time, experience their perspective/surroundings.
Someone in these parts
even had me remembering the power of poetic brevity as a sort of words-only-driven tardis to get others such times/places.
(Of course... that reference is probably going to have me struggling to think other than of
the rest of the day... <coughs>)
