#1 I do not give a damn What you think about Alex. And this is not about Alex. Alex pissed me off too before. This is about keeping our lines of comms open:

The beauty of the pre-social media internet is that it was flat. That is, anyone could publish a website, and every website existed on the same plane as every other. The hyperlink held us bloggers to account, by directing readers to the source material which they could judge for themselves.

All the more reason to listen to them. What happens to them when they have no voice or worse?

We need to go back to real RSS again.
Before the faceberg came to sink US all or the twitter shitbird came to end US as we were crawling to shore.

I want MY Vertical RSS tweetdeck back again. And it is my patent. FU.

When Facebook first got started I couldn't understand it. Why would I want to publish anything on a platform that looks as clunky as that when I could set up my own website and have total control over the look and feel of the thing as well as the content. But that's because I'm a techie and setting up a web page would be easy for me. Setting up a web page would be easy for a lot of people because HTML is really not that hard to learn. But I guess if you're a snowflake...
