Hmmm hard to say. Most of the effects of me being affiliated with Rf that I’ve observed are on twitter itself. The people who discuss ribbonfarm here and are associated with its readership are, with a few exceptions, not the people who actually write or have written for it

There’s always been two kinds of blogging, the community centric style (livejournal, tumblr, medium) and the freehold style (typepad, blogger, wordpress). Twitter has sort of become a community layer of the former style to the latter, as a bolt-on, since roughly threading/2014.

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.
