This is an incredible article! I very much relate to the disillusionment of doing something for the sake of sales, and also find myself on a winding journey to do something that has meaning without really knowing what that is or should be. Best of luck to him!

I've always been more of a lurker unless I've specifically got something to add. I still think usually there's not a lot to say, even here, but I have found a fair number of conversations and communities to comment in here. I think it's a healthy balance

Does the fediverse need to consume all of the traffic that's currently directed at other platforms? I think the best thing about the Fediverse is that it provides more options for online social spaces.

If I don't like Twitter I can try something else. If I don't like Reddit I can go elsewhere. It doesn't have to be the exact same thing as those services, as long as it provides me an enjoyable way to consume information in my free time.

I don't feel like the goal is to absorb all of the traffic from every other site though? Or if it is that seems misguided.

I'm very much enjoying my time on Kbin, even if it is janky and new and imperfect. All of that is actually kind of refreshing

Very very rarely. I don't really re-consume media at all though. I don't particularly enjoy rewatching movies unless they are my absolute favorites. I don't like rewatching shows. I easily get burnt out on music, and will even go months without listening to my favorites because I've heard them too much.

I love to read, but I'm much more likely to find a new book than re-read one.

I was hoping that because Kbin does support mastodon posts it might work. I'd love to see that integration

Is there any federated interaction between BookWyrm and Kbin? Can I follow book or author updates or keep up with reviews or conversation?

Skipping rocks. If I'm near a body of water and there's a flat stone anywhere near me in 100% skipping that thing. This never gets old

This is what I'm wondering! Would be cool to at least see comments or updates based on books or authors I care about on kbin, maybe?
