 Oh yeah, there is a thread on self-quantization on the Forum:, started by @aynish. https://forum.merveilles.town/thread/66/to-what-end-should-we-quantify-the-self%3f-3/ Maybe I should join. Maybe I should not. I don't really want to publish in yet another place. 7 comments
@akkartik @aynish oh yeah, I have said that in Lion's Discord. Big number of places where I am tires me very much. I then forget about some of them, and they get kinda lost. A lost incomplete part of me. This one of the reasons why I hesitated to join the Fediverse for half a year or longer. Dunno, it kinda stresses me.  @bouncepaw @aynish I was trying to understand how important it is to you. If it's important, keep a list of everything you post. If it's slightly important, keep a list of sites where you post. If it's not important, write and forget. But if the purpose of writing is to be read by some audience you care about, I'd never limit where I write. I'm a packrat, record everything I type. Shell commands, chat, emails, notes, docs. But even I make utterances that don't constitute losing part of myself. @akkartik @aynish oh, keeping a list of everything I post is basically impossible and not worth it IMHO, I always wonder how you do it. I should make a list of the sites, right. I always talk about limiting the number, but I have no idea of what the number is. > But if the purpose of writing is to be read by some audience you care about, Well, the best audience is the focused audience! If I write in 30 places, I won't have much of an audience. I also love internet points. @bouncepaw @aynish I still think your priorities are misplaced. Many of the places I write in have the same people. Sometimes I talk to my wife in the park, sometimes I talk to my wife in the home, sometimes in a new diner far from home. It makes no sense to limit _where_ I talk or discuss or debate. It's where the conversation is happening! If I want to participate I have to talk there! |

@bouncepaw @aynish Why does it matter how many places you publish in? (I've heard this sentiment from you before.)
Even the word 'publish' feels overly serious for what we do. I think of it as 'post'. Posting something always has some purpose for me. It's never an end in itself. So what's the purpose in watching the number of locations you post to?
