Oh yeah okay like the way to think about it is. Why do you make art. Like why does anyone make art. There are times I want to transfix people in a moment and make them think (fine art), times I want to devote myself to something beautiful and intricate (craft), and times I just want to share an idea that made me smile (doodling and comics). It’s my world we’re all just living in it

i have a lot of ideas but am bad at the follow-through. but while some ideas i really want to see come to life, others i just like to imagine for a little bit. i want to share them enough to invite people into my space but i don’t care about making them pretty. this feels a lot like what “concept artist” is if you only heard the word and had none of the context

man, the problem of discords being information black holes is making me wonder if there's actually some way to encourage people to do better documentation--it feels like one of the major issues right now is how fucked SEO is and how Fandom Wikia dominates while being, like, an affront to nature, while Fandom and other wikis generally have somewhat inaccessible and opaque IA. My job now is like literally doing information architecture and documentation, and people tend not to realize that even IS a job... but part of it is because it CAN be so intuitive that anyone can do it, with the right tools. It makes me wonder, could some of this be mitigated by a tool and/or set of best practices? Most Discord servers have moderators--is it possible to shift the culture such that being a Moderator also means stewarding information, without adding additional unpaid burdens? I feel like I sound kind of tech-bro-ey here, saying, "Ah, we just need more technology--", but what I want to consider is like, more of a behavioral or cultural shift, as facilitated by an easier platform. If anyone has tools that were useful for documentation, would love to hear...
