Gotta get yourself weened from those engagement algorithms. The early internet was a wild west of links and word-of-mouth and reputation. That's what we're going back to. The withdrawals will be worth it in the end.

The nature of venture capitalism and the demand for infinite growth is going to grind the humanity out of any corporate project over a long enough time span. We're gonna have to learn the old ways of what the Internet is supposed to be.
