the phrase "a digital nomad's home" is an oxymoron. it is everywhere and nowhere all at once

i do relate to the underlying sentiment. I grew up on the internet, it felt like home to me when/where my actual home didn't. it's why I have a blog, why I spend so much time doing things on it (not just passively consuming content but organizing communities, moderating, etc)

You wanted to know my project earlier? I'm stoked and poetic because *this* is the actual definition. My digital home is under attack, and I'm in the market for palisades.

I don't want to be discouraging, but something strikes me as weird about that. It feels like a clinging-to of a thing that is fundamentally about flux and change. Our digital home is different every day, to attempt to protect "it" with fences strikes me as a sort of taxidermy

Your take is actually the point of my post... at home in the flux

Well, I'm very happy for you two. Plutocratic retreat is always an option for those who can afford it.

I get the feeling that your overall philosophy works perfectly given a sufficient level of enlightenment. I actually agree, I'm just targeting one level of enlightenment below yours (with an eye toward my family stuck in southern Missouri, actually enmeshed "real fake news").

I would suppose your eye is actually turned toward people even-worse-off than my Opioid-addicted family (read: this is a joke), but that would be supposing a thing about you I don't actually know (because I don't actually know you)

I mean what's plutocratic about making a home on the internet. Blogs or other presences are cheap to build. Online community stuff mainly subs for tv or sports. Anyone can do it. I don't get why wealth is a variable here.
Also unclear what you mean by enlightenment here. You can build online homes around any sort of interest and connection tendencies. 4chan is home on internet and they're more orcs than elves.

For 99% of people, you're going to get stuck on Gab.ai or SomethingAwful or other anti-useful community traps. You've been too long out of the muck, man, the internet is purely awful for people who didn't build graphs in 2003-2010 era.

Having a "highly curated social graph", dense enough to need only small # of people to provide you situational awareness of important topics, is definitely a strong modern form of wealth. If Twitter shuts down, you could contact ~70 people through vgr@ribbonfarm.com or whatever.

You actually built this graph w/ decade+ of hard work, but it is wealth nonetheless, one that smart people would probably pay *huge* $$$ for.
