 sometimes I like chatting online more than in person because online you can
 have like, 3 different conversations going at once
 
 meanwhile in person you get body language, and the benefit of activities and
 shared experiences. They're both useful for different things.

 I spend time on Reddit because it feels like a conversation. Well, it used to.
 Now it's... different.

 That's why I like talking about things I'm interested in. It makes me more
 likely to be able to bring up something I've been thinking about.

 @user-428 
 
 sometimes I think about how much more productive I'd be if I had a code editor
 that let me draw arrows and smiley faces and such alongside the code. Or if I
 could position things strangely, like two functions side-by-side with boxes
 drawn around them. Or diagrams or flowcharts or graphs or...
 
 something that would output to raw txt format, but would present itself as an
 image that could be edited.

 I like when people make fun of me because it gives me a chance to defend
 myself. Simultaneously I don't like when people are mean to me. I like when
 people find me endearing, and point out the ways that I'm different. It gives
 me a chance to say "oh yes this is why I do that" which feels cathartic
 (because it validates my position) but also because it gives me the
 opportunity to improve it (through debate) and it helps the people who learned
 from me because I can improve myself and my only reason for improving myself
 is if the new thing I'm learning is better than the thing I used to do which
 means the people who learn from me are improved and the people who best me
 argumentatively are improving me.

 Part of the reason I like Reddit is because you can have multiple different
 conversations about the same topic at once.

 @user-192 
 
 it suddenly became relevant in your life for a different reason and you wanted
 to share it again to see if anyone wanted to talk about it so you could
 explain your feelings and see perspective from someone who's maybe approaching
 the same or similar thing from a slightly different angle?

 @user-95 one of the most empathetic people I ever met on VR chat was consoling
 me with their mic off while I was oversharing about some stupid things people
 did to me in the past. things that stupid me thought were okay and actively
 encouraged because I was stupid. anyway when their mic was off their body
 language spoke for them. I'll try that next time.

 I personally would love to have my friend's messages saved on my computer
 account. it'd be like a little time-capsule of them that I could randomly
 scroll through or maybe display a random message they sent whenever I opened a
 new terminal
 
 sorta like words, only applied to a message archive. that of a friend or loved
 one.

 just because someone did something one way and it worked, doesn't mean you
 have to do it that way again.
 
 but you should have a reason why you aren't doing it that way.

 at this point in time you probably shouldn't be forming NEW online communities
 unless you're part of an OLD community that just isn't radical enough. And
 then you should try and MERGE communities into larger, more geographically
 concentrated ones.

 sometimes I decide against playing a Steam game because I don't want it to
 jump to the top of my "recently played" list
 
 Wish I could have like, a heatmap of when I played which game. I think that'd
 be useful for the archival process of my life.
 
 ... how pathetic, she measures her life in gameplay.

 do you ever think about how calling the BLM events "protests" versus "riots"
 is a subtle dogwhistle for your politics? I usually say "riots" so that I
 blend in. also because I've been conditioned by the people who I talk to about
 them.

 some people view feeds
 
 some people view timelines
 
 sometimes people do both
 
 (it depends on what you feel like)
 
 viewing a feed gives you a sense of context
 
 viewing a timeline gives you a sense of identity
