Feeding the system that feeds us
Ever thought about why a strip of social media posts is called a feed? It sort of being fed to you, if you look at it from the distance.
I’m not saying this is necessarily bad, you can curate your feed, pick and choose which bits to chew. The important thing is that you are being deliberate about it.
On the other hand, people on the platform have to feed the system in order for it to function properly and feed others.
We are supposed to be indie web here, being on bearblog and all. But it is still very tempting to take a bite out of that feed from time to time.
That’s enough of metaphors for today.
