  • Willingness to learn a new platform is in no way correlated with general life knowledge. Even if someone isn’t contributing to the code base or moderation or creating communities, there are absolutely people that contribute in the form of engagement or other areas of knowledge.

    If I want to connect with, say, people that know about permaculture, animals, how factory management works, or a group of mom’s doing a book club. These people can know really interesting things without also (necessarily) being tech savvy and there should absolutely be space for them on social media. User accessibility is not a bad thing.


  • I’m not sure it totally fits, but Always Coming Home by Ursula K LeGuin was an amazing read. The premise is that an ethnographer of the future is writing about a future, post climate change California people called the Kesh. Most of the book is actually stories the Kesh themselves tell, be it poetry, folk tales, an autobiography, and even a snippet from a novel.

    It’s an absolutely transformative book that I can’t recommend it enough. It’s like nothing else I’ve ever read.
