From the linked piece:

We favor videos that either are very short or don’t require dedicated focus, confident in the knowledge that we can move on to something else whenever we want to. We ignore thoughtfully composed “walls of text,” but we electronically applaud memetic image macros and single-sentence references that aren’t inherently entertaining or insightful (yet are somehow still poorly written).

Disappointed to see the blue check system on Spoutible. It makes sense when people are actually being impersonated, but it has long since started functioning like an online caste system. Witness folks faking checkmarks here on Mastodon, whose verification system doesn't display a checkmark.

Some random thoughts on "favoriting" things on mastodon. . . It's a nice little way of saying "I hear/see you" . . . it feels weird to "favorite" a bad piece of news/reporting (but I still do it sometimes) . . . random strangers "favoriting" a post sometimes feels hollow and distant, especially when there's no other interaction. . . like someone waving at you across a crowded room . . . we're they waving at me or the person standing next to me? Do I know them?

@BrentToderian -
Something about Mastodon seems to encourage participation, both responding to posts and making posts. Maybe it's controlling one's feed by selecting those to follow instead of having them assigned to you by algorithms not exactly tailored to what you want.

That is, I *chose* to follow you, so perhaps I have a proprietary interest in your posts. :)

I heard a great on my today about why we might 'love to hate.'

with Bridget Todd, episode titled "A woman tweeted enjoying coffee in her garden and Twitter hated it."

Aja Barber (author, Consumed) on built on comparison. "I genuinely think has gotten us to this miserable place where folks are tired of being happy for other people. It's the impact of while everyone pretends it doesn't exist."

Hi, I'm Mike. I'd mention an occupation if I had one, but I'm having a thought about that for a few months. While I'm waiting for the toast to come up, I'm allowing myself to be a little frivolous with my creative energy by overthinking and playing with . Having a few months at loose ends, I'm really excited to have more time for during Portland's moody, rainy, glowing winter.

…very similarly, allowing teammates to interact with a broad selection of ready-to-use visuals makes (remote) team work much more interesting and engaging.
