by JamesCurating a set of RSS feeds is like stepping away from the agoras and finding a little cafรฉ, somewhere to sit and watch from a distance, to gather the words of the other patrons. Somewhere familiar where we recognise the regulars. We might never interact beyond a nod of appreciation but, in our own way, we come to know these people or, at least, what they allow us to know.
This is such a good way to think of RSS. Your RSS reader is your neighborhood coffee shop.
There really is something magical about being able to connect with people over time on the web that's separate from the noise machines. -

by JamesThe more I think and write about tech, the more I'm convinced that the tech doesn't really matter all that much without the correct mindset. If people are not having more interesting and profound interactions online, it is not for lack of tools. It's for lack of good intentions.
For as long as there's been the internet there's been "poor" interactions online. Humans, at least part of the time, find a way to argue some of the time.ย
The correct mindset can help you have better interactions online. But keeping the correct mindset is quite difficult when you're up against an algorithm that optimizes to keep you enraged and anxious.
The tech absolutely matters, but only in so much as it allows unadulterated communications and community. You can't find that on the big social networks without really trying hard, but you can find that on the IndieWeb. -
