Conversation

My feed is really weird now. All the people I normally interact with are tweeting about either the muskening or the ruggening Everybody else has that peculiar linkedin vibe of obliviousness The intermediate people who seem real, just not in my neck of the woods, are gone/quiet

It’s like being in a cafe where only mutual friends are real, and obsessively caught in one topic vortex, and everybody else is a mannequin. Live strangers or somewhat familiar regulars from whom you might overhear snippets of interesting conversations you’re not in… gone

I think enough interesting adjacent silo people have taken their silo conversations to mastodon or something that I’m left with Swiss cheese Twitter-twitter + SBF-twitter + holes where other conversations used to be The LinkedIn types are the squares of wax paper between slices

I was joking before about the LinkedInification but damn it’s happened really rapidly. Newcheck permissioning effect? 🤔

LinkedIn people trigger my otherwise very weak protector instincts They just so obviously need to be protected from harsh reality. They exist in a kind of precious-innocence zen mode They will inherit the earth after we sinners have destroyed each other

If it's any consolation, I'm still being as vacuous and inane on here as always, and I'm too set in my ways to change. I intend to be like the wallpaper you peel off to find exactly the same wallpaper underneath.

Look at me with my LinkedIn headshot. I’m sweating nervously, but my waxen surface beads too efficiently for the sweat to accumulate. Rich discourse once thrived on these pixels, fertilized by anon shitposts, now terraformed at a cost of $8 to house my nervous TPS reports.
