i feel as though i haven't been posting here as much as i should because twitter has really ruined my brain for long-form content. how do i write a long post.
i also feel myself having some need to "compete" with all the people posting extremely good and funny html and css goofs, but i absolutely refuse to learn how to write inline css lmao. but also posting shouldn't be ABOUT competing. i don't need to go viral
we are all winners in the eyes of Eggbug. no need for competition :)
Yeah exactly this! My chosting volume is super low compared to a lot of people! I've only got a couple css crimes and one of them is literally just "random generate some text style properties"
The whole competing thing or "oh no I've gotta chost more to keep up" is just birdsite brain exposing exactly how like the continuous Engagement(TM) gets into your brain and poisons how you think of social as grinding at a never ending content mill for attention. Literally one of the first things I thought after starting to use this site: https://cohost.org/SomeEgrets/post/17422-i-ve-spent-so-long-p
Anyway I'm glad it's not just me who feels this like, realization about how weird being terminally online makes slowing down feel, idk
