If you can see the "show contact info" dropdown below, I follow you. If you want me to, ask and I'll think about it.


it's what happens when you're so wildly successful at getting the next microgeneration to being fluent enough to stick around in your spaces, that their number outstrips your ability to maintain consistent norms, who then remix it and build upon it in ways that make it seem alien to you if you were used to what came before.

it's called overwhelming progress, and it is as chaotic as it is because without perspective and experience they can't fully understand what you wrote for 5-10 years after meet you. but once even 10% or so of them do, the cycle gets to repeat, yeeting the next way ahead at the expense of those new newcomers being cringey political liabilities for a decade.

but that's just how rapid progress works

as someone who experienced the "endless September" I've always hated the snobbery that the term implied: yes, Internet culture was quieter when it was just a bunch of college students running their little walled gardens, but that doesn't mean the culture was better. imagine early 1990s Caltech culture, which is where I got my first taste of the Internet—do you think it was less racist and bigoted than today's? not hardly, but the stuff was better disguised. ~Chara
