2.1. Digital Gardens as solutions to information exhaustion
This is only blogging again, another Swing of the Pendulum. Blogging → Centralized → Digital Gardens
It’s seems that nowadays everybody has to be a hobbyist journalist.
In a sense, the boundaries that used to separate simple acts like for example, buying a shirt, from its political implications like long working hours in a 3rd world country under minimum wage, are dissolving
Maybe reputation would be based in bibliography citation (if you don’t explicitly cite your sources, you would become), and you would follow a number of independent journalists, each one with its own digital garden
It could be implemented on Locutus, with has an integrated, distributed, and decentralized reputation system
2.1.1. Against Digital Gardens as solution to information exhaustion
https://rebelwisdom.substack.com/p/decoding-the-gurus-and-the-necessity
The idea was that only small, independently sustainable operators would be immune from the social, financial and ideological pressures that were increasingly crippling mainstream institutions like the New York Times.
However, what we saw was a whole new set of failure conditions inherent to the landscape of social media, where truth seeking was crippled by more personal factors like audience capture, aligned incentives such as a refusal to criticise friends, and also a tribalist mindset fuelled by an inability to deal with criticism, or a tendency to label any criticism as ’bad faith’
2.1.2. https://anagora.org/knowledge-commons
Very interesting, information is scrapped from social.coop (social media)

These notes are mostly written for myself: they’re roughly my thinking environment (Evergreen notes; My morning writing practice). But I’m sharing them publicly as an experiment (Work with the garage door up). If a note seems confusing or under-explained, it’s probably because I didn’t write it for you! Sorry—that’s sort of an essential tension of this experiment (Write notes for yourself by default, disregarding audience). - https://garden.glennstovall.com/

Currently, I’m exploring what agentic and communal technology looks like at Replit and through my independent research practice. How might we create infrastructures and technologies that empower the residents of the web to have access to the same tools as the architect? - taylor.town creator of The Cheap Web
