@tomcritchlow @vgr @tobyshorin do you think social media algorithms favoring people you interact with frequently has had an effect on the ribbonfarm diaspora blogosphere and others like it? e.g. more clumps of collaborators, fewer niche 1:many broadcasters?

I’d say until ~2011 or so, ribbonfarm was open web, with comments/email/HN etc being social loci. 2011-14, Facebook was the most important social locus, where activity from meetups and refactor camp landed. 2014-2017 or so, Twitter was core. Now I think it’s messengers/slack.

Toby’s right about Sarah. Her writing is unusually anchored in Twitter subcultures (UST, ingroup, weird sun, her old carcinisation crowd, a few NRx and adjacent crowds...) I don’t think my readership has ever had much coherence of that sort. Other contributors have been varied.
