💬 Space for More Spaces
I still hold on to the idea that those old archaic, pre-social media constructs, a personal blog, is the main place, the home, to operate from. There are no limits or controls of corporations or data selling. What’s missing is people attending to them, we;ve been pretty much driven, led, or on our own, decided to spend most of our attention economy in the big spaces. Not to be shut in and never leave, but all the other spaces are somewhat secondary, maybe we visit often.
I’m not looking for the ideal space, to me it’s the entire internet. I wish to be above, to transcend, to hop across spaces.
I like your point Alan about spaces. I wonder what would need to happen for us all to ‘transcend’? There are times when I hope for something else to come out of such movements as the IndieWeb, especially in regards to the idea of a digital commonplace book. However, I am also mindful that this may not be for everyone. Can we then transcend, without merely morphing into somebody else’s data point? This is where I feel conflicted at the moment.
