"Running infrastructure for yourself is hard...

Running infrastructure for others is exponentially harder."

💬 #Quotes from @localden

Continued... (hashtags added for #keywords)

"As any forum moderator or administrator can attest, the sheer volume of #spam, #abuse, and just generally #trash #behavior can wear down even the most seasoned veterans of the .com era.

And that’s if we’re talking about #communities that #host tens of thousands of users. Scale that to a few million and there won’t be enough hours in the day to either keep the servers running (stuff is costly too) or to monitor the content for anything potentially harmful or inappropriate.

For anyone that wants to start a #community, it’s a no-brainer that they should probably start somewhere where they can “#outsource” the hard things, like moderation and infrastructure, to someone who is an expert and has built-in mechanisms to handle everything in-house. Especially when the funds for this are at or around zero dollars. That’s a totally reasonable stance to take, and I absolutely get the rationale there.

Not only that, but a lot of the existing ecosystems rest on the shoulders of network effects.

Once everyone you care about is on #Reddit, are you really going to be the only one not on Reddit and try to #bootstrap your own little corner for a specific community? Probably not, and attracting people there would be much harder. Reddit is the one-stop-shop - I can go there for woodworking advice, but I can also chat in #local communities, or communities around collecting #stamps, with the same account and within the same interface. Are you really going to post #photos of your fridge that you want to #sell on your blog and hope that in a year someone discovers it through a Google search? Of course not - you will go to #Facebook #Marketplace or #Craigslist and get it sold within a few days.

You, the #user, are going to go where most people are, because you’re optimizing for #solving your #problems, such as finding like-minded individuals or #selling the fridge quickly and getting it out of your garage to make room for a table saw.

Most people are this way - they don’t care who or how maintains or runs a community or network as long as that place solves the problems they set out to solve. When that #goal overlaps with the company’s desire to make money, you end up in somewhat of a goldilocks zone, but that’s typically a short-lived experience with #modern services. More on that shortly."

Hi everyone,
I've just had my breakfast, had a walk, done some meditation, all the usual stuff that's necessary to keep the body going, and I thought I'd talk a little bit about the different ways of practicing meditation, contemplation, focus, mindfulness etc. Different ways of describing it, and I thought I'd start off for those people who are absolute beginners and not interested in any form of religious connotation or aspect in their practice. So let's start with that, and we will look at the idea of focus on a particular theme, if you like...

Anyway here is the podcast about five minutes of very obvious and basic practice.

I think it's "Perception" 🤔

I fell asleep before the news was over, but I've tossed, turned, and searched since 3am
(hence my late arrival) I'm still investigating.

It's my nature, not to dismiss things as *Unsolvable*. I've scrolled through 100s Fictional Murder Solving non-police male TV series. The series is probably discontinued now.
