more than a week (Indiepocalypse Social repost)

[packbat]

rewatching Devine Lu Linvega's Strange Loop talk about computing and sustainability and thinking about the one deleted tweet they mentioned

I think Twitter, Mastodon, the microblogging Fediverse, they are utterly unsuited to be archives - they are all networks in the moment, conversational spaces with just enough persistence that you can catch up on what someone said yesterday, maybe last week if you're determined

and you can download your archive but it's just a huge mess - it's not sorted or connected, you can only find a thing if you already know what it is, and you might never find the context

that's part of why we are starting to repost things on our dreamwidth blog

sometimes we want the things we say to last more than a week
