On Wanting to Journal More

[the_gneech]

I'm heartened that the meltdown of the birdsite has been the harbinger of a general "Hey, you remember when the internet used to be a GOOD thing?" sentiment—and for me, the internet being a good thing is largely tied to happy memories of LiveJournal, both as a reader and a writer. Long-form writing helped me focus my thoughts, helped me keep my priorities in mind when ADHD tends to make them scatter, and helped me feel connected to people, all things which I badly need these days.

My replacement for birdsite was of course https://meow.social/@the_gneech, and it has its charms. It even allows for a certain long-ish form of content, but like birdsite before it, it's ephemeral. The pace of posts is too fast to allow for catching up, or for long conversations with groups of people; you can't easily find or reference a conversation, etc.

So, yeah! I've said it before and I'll probably say it again and again until I actually make it stick, but I want to journal more. If nothing else, being able to see my posts over the course of a week will help me remember "Oh yeah, yesterday I said I wanted to do this tomorrow..." instead of constantly having to reinvent myself every day because brain.

All of which said, anybody know a good Dreamwidth-to-Mastodon crossposter? XD
