Just found a nice patch of sun in a comfy spot on the couch. Maybe cats do have some things worked out.

Been gone for a bit — enjoying the updates and easier to follow reply/conversation layout!

I think the this sort of feels like relaxed IRC. I am very much appreciating text only and not feeling like I need to stay glued to a feed.

And I just realised I’m accustomed to being able to edit mistakes after posting… :P

replied to:

Yes! The IRC feeling was intentional. Low-noise, not intrusive. Glad others see this as well.

I stopped interacting much with social media years ago and am honestly not sure how to do this any more… but I like the shape of what is starting here.

replied to:

likewise. Its just nice to have an "even playing field" without any perceived hierarchy or weird material incentives to perform the way you'd be pushed to on regular SM.

agree, no images on my screen is soothing

replied to:

Reminds me of the Kiwix offline Wikipedia "nopic" version. (I downloaded that version because it's much smaller than the full version that includes images.)

replied to:

Images are fine for me, but should be behind a link, or a small thumbnail. Non-animated. Videos too. But that’s me. They will most likely have to be hosted elsewhere, while the thumb could be here. Nah. We are ok with just text.

replied to:

Yeah, before you know it the feed becomes a collection of memes. Have to click or perhaps a browser extension that you personally see the opengraph/linked image in the feed but it's not inviting people to post them for the feed itself.
