@meljoann well, it was great for some time but now defunct. I think the last remnants of somewhat working code are still available at getnightingale.com, the fork of songbird. But for it to work you need a whole ecosystem - the - which has been defunct for some time now as well. The closest to the original experience is something like hypem.com, but it isn't free.

It is funny in a way because I think readers are more popular than ever, but exclusively in the form of apps. And with the popularity of audio-over-rss, and with things like and , one would think that now would be the best window for something like "Songbird 3.0".

Maybe the can conjur something up. @Stoori mentioned , but I haven't used it yet.

@b0rk is an awesome and knowledgeable tech person that writes things in a pretty accessible way. She wrote a great post about writing and being exposed to internet commenting.

One thing I’ve noticed since I started to spend more time here on : Links shared more often leads to independent blogs compared to big media sites.

Some of them to blogs I already followed, a majority to blogs that are new to me.

Seems like the wasn’t dead after all.

(As a side effect: A growing number of / subscriptions.)

@vinayaravind I am an older millennial who grew up on a steady diet of old school message boards, but imho the peaked when we had Twitter and Tumblr but no Instagram. When Instagram blew up, the died and people lost interest in maintaining distinct online spaces. The internet was better before the of social media.

Updated the @Mastodon vs comparison doc that I published last year, following my decision to relegate Twitter to a tertiary point-of-presence for my activities.

I may be (somewhat) back on the , but my heart is still on . I've grown so accustomed to the slow speed on gemini and even the in general I'm no longer drawn to the fast pace of .

Regardless, I'm still happy to be here, especially now that it's much more active than it was when I was here last. I just have a different, and frankly healthier, relationship to microblogging.

As I posted about earlier:

There has been more of a call for enriching the . Here is yet another call to start that up!

bringback.blog

Feel free to add yourself to the directory there. Again, feel free to freely and widely!!

I know I am down to @writefreely and my own little fork of bashblog:

git.disroot.org/PresGas/bashbl
