A blog just isn't the same.
A personal website just isn't the same.
That was never the quality of cohost. No matter how much fuckwits wanted to claim otherwise.
The strength of social media is in the social part, not the media part. It's literally all about the feedback loop of gently placing a post in the running stream, and seeing others, with similar interests, cheer for it in some way. And then doing the same when you see others' posts float by.
That's all it's about. It's a digital Third Place. You don't need to be the tightest buds with everyone there, but you can go and pour your heart out to strangers, have a moment with them safely, and vice versa, and go back to what you were doing.
That's what it was all about.
We'll always have eggbug.
