viacomI have an actual flashbulb memory about writing my first LiveJournal post. It was January 2002; I guess that would make me sixteen. And after months of being all "maaan I'm way too cool for all the drama on that dumb website" I decided the drama sounded like it was too scandalous not to follow and I dove in HARD once I scrounged up an invite code. I wrote millions of words in my LJ over the years - god, I wish I were exaggerating - made friends I still have, and didn't delete my journal there till 2016, when everyone else was already long gone.
I guess this site won't be like that. But I do feel like there's a groundswell of interest among like-minded nerds in just taking our toys and going back to longform text posts with heavily curated, overly complex ACLs, and MAN was that all I ever wanted or needed in a social network.
I'll probably use this mostly to talk about my strange kids and maybe Star Wars, and maybe complain in very vague terms about my very weird career. If you hate kids or Star Wars or vagueposting about big tech jobs, feel free to not follow me.
