#Thinking #Outloud

I am reading various conversations about the current state of the state of the #internet and the changes brought on by "#Social #Media" companies.

Before #Mastodon, the only other social media platforms(s) I used was #IRC and #Twitter.

With regard to #webhosting it has ALWAYS been inhouse and never outsourced to anyone else.

Email I outsourced to GMAIL but even that I am bring back inhouse.

For me the bigger issue is data retention and backups.

Sometimes I vaguely wonder why I don't get more new followers. I don't like the concept "followers" but there's no better term I guess?

Not that I want to have hundreds or thousands of them, that feels scary. What I mean is people to interact with, people who know me? Can we say friends without sounding ridiculous? Probably not.

I was thinking about it while slowly drinking my coffee some moments ago, and just realized that all I do on mastodon is reading, favoriting, replying and retooting. All the people I follow (again that word) say or generally post something somewhat original from time to time, or all the time.

(Also shorter than this, but as I stated, I'm a talkative person. One thing at a time.)

That's the trick, huh?

Do you like aspects of submission that are spoken, confessional, performative? When the sub has to repeat certain phrases aloud? Refer to themselves in a certain way? Confess in spoken terms how complete their submission is?
