is it just me, or is tweeting into the void kinda sad?
- kilroy123 5y agoI feel the same.
- bdibs 5y agoIt’s certainly healthier I’d bet.
- zohch 5y agoI dunno, would need data on that. I would think tweeting into the void is more symptomatic.
- ivanhoe 5y agoTrue, and also feels to me kinda egocentric to genuinely not care of any feedback or interaction with the reader, but I know a lot of people like that, so it probably is just us...
- numpad0 5y agoAs long as it’s public, someone is going to link it and the community explains how it actually happened and how complete moron of you are, so you’ve got covered. If you’re doing sudo cat | sed -e s/¥n/¥n#¥ / >> /etc/resolv.conf, that’s sad indeed
- BelenusMordred 5y agoHow do new accounts start on twitter then?
- keb_ 5y agoTweeting is just (micro)blogging. Does every blog without a comments section seem sad to you? That's silly.
- throwdecro 5y ago> ...is tweeting into the void kinda sad? No, I think it's brilliant. I think we'd see more interesting writing on the internet if it didn't always start with the goal of acquiring and maintaining an audience.
- monkeynotes 5y agoReally? I don't know many authors who are motivated to write interesting content and then hide it / have zero idea if anyone is reading it.
- throwdecro 5y agoIt's not hidden. It's just not connected to an internet-style social network. Interest can still spread through word-of-mouth, even if the platform doesn't provide any tools for audience measurement and management. It's akin to a 'zine from the pre-internet days, except it doesn't cost as much money to distribute. EDIT: A 'zine isn't a perfect analogy, since someone who published it would know how many they printed. A freely copyable newsletter would probably be a stronger analog.
- databased 5y agoTo me this is similar to journaling.
