+# Link: Stop Talking to Each Other and Start Buying Things: Three Decades of Survival in the Desert of Social Media
+
+=> https://catvalente.substack.com/p/stop-talking-to-each-other-and-start Stop Talking to Each Other and Start Buying Things: Three Decades of Survival in the Desert of Social Media
+> Hurting each other is just ever so much more usefulthan talking and connecting. Leaving people alone doesn’t produce narcissistic supply. It doesn’t feed the need to control and force that some humans, it seems, have always been and always will be born with.
+
+This article really captures the cycle of destruction that comes to any successful social media platform, and the frustration that comes with it. The diagnosis reads accurate and I can echo the feeling. 
+
+Our platforms shouldn’t be held ransom to profit or the hateful, and it’ll be up to us to figure out how to make that work, but it’s an existential matter.
+
+> Don’t ever stop talking to each other. It’s what the internet is really and truly for. Talk to each other and listen to each other. But don’t ever stop connecting.
+
+I am ultimately hopeful, because I believe more people out there want to genuinely connect and love. It’s going to be a rocky road but one of the most important ones to go down.

-# The linkblog a few links in.
-
-If I wrote a post for every time I said "I want to post more on the blog", this would be one of the most prolific publications online.
-
-This time around, I decided to try things different and reduce the barriers to posting by integrating it into one of my well-honed routines: reading news and blogs. For this to succeed, I needed to be able to post from any device I was reading from. This was a bit harder than I anticipated, because until then the blog was just a `cli` tool that took in some text and generated the static assets.
-
-After a few wilder ideas (eg. let's build an iOS gemtext editor that lets me post to a webhook), I landed on something a bit simpler†: I'll save the post to pinboard with the tag `linkblog`, and save my comments as gemtext in the description field; on the other end, a cron job fetches the bookmarks, generates gemtext and replaces the tag, and updates the blog using the CLI.
-
-It took a few goes to get the cron working correctly, but it worked! Not just on the technical side, but on the habit-forming side: This month I've written as many posts as I had since 2017. Maybe next year I can hit that first milestone of at least one post a week!
