I’m looking for alternatives to social media.

Chalk it up to algorithmic feeds or the bots or the drivel or the flame wars. I think meaningful connection is possible on the web, it’s just not at scale—or at least, not for me.

I have a BlueSky account—one I haven’t really used yet—and I’m intrigued by the possibility of a popular federated service that everyone can plug into. But I’d also like something a little slower and human.

So I’m going to try an experiment. I’m going to try to post notes here if I find something worth sharing with the world. Maybe it’ll be a new product I find, or a piece of physics or history I learn about.

If you’re one of the five people who happen to stumble on this page and want to follow along, I have an RSS feed. Feel free to email me at hello@wit.io, too, if you want to chat about something I’ve posted.

Over time, it might be interesting to integrate into ActivityPub, not for its scale but for its standardization.

We’ll see how this goes.
