maple_syruphello dreamwidth! it has been too long.
so, the internet huh? more specifically, the web. two terms which since the 90s have been blurring more and more together, but i like to remind myself that the web isn't all of the internet. same as how facebook isn't all of the internet, and yet, a lot of people (entire countries, even) aren't aware of that. (and that's not their fault! it is tech literacy that failed them)
but i have a bone to pick...
it seems that there's a whole brand of people who are wholly uninterested in understanding anything outside their own path. call it eternal september, even if i myself came after it. but i'm tired of seeing people wanting things to be better and yet shitting on others who already came before them to do that.
i'm trying to be very vague here because i don't want to bring a whole flame war into this post but i need to vent out my frustrations with this trope of willful ignorance. it costs you nothing to do a little bit of research instead of just jumping down each other's throats because you think you're more entitled to something than others are.
i don't know. maybe i'm talking nonsense to you.
anyway, in other news, i've started doing more web stuff myself. i started netizen club as a centerpiece for all of it in hopes of drumming up more interest and getting others to participate in it. i think, all things considered, the resurgence of a more personal web breaking out from corporate content silos is good and more people should be doing it.
