We should be able to bootstrap activityPub to GeoCities websites. WordPress integration is taking a long time.

That's backwards, activitypub is higher level than websites. And you can literally make a website already and embed an activitypub stream

Curated experiences are the reason we're in the shit right now.

But yeah, maybe boutique curated exepriences will somehow be qualitatively different, and not just finer market segmentation.

Not all of Reddit works, but some of it does for some people, and the reason it works for them is because the moderators shape communities that the community members enjoy participating in.

Personally, I think active communities below the Dunbar number (about 150) in size are some of the most rewarding to participate in, long term. But, there are always a lot of people who flock to wherever the biggest crowds are.

Divide and conquer I guess

Does the Networking Effect suddenly no longer apply to internet applications? Seems like we're just seeing people gradually migrate from older and less functional applications like Twitter and Facebook over to newer and more functional applications like BlueSky and RedNote.
