As someone absolutely fascinated with the idea of having your own personal blog, this is an excellent thread for finding some very interesting blogs!

A big thanks to everyone who contributed in the comments!

I find it strange when people deny basic well known history regarding this. In fact, post Islam, Persia was at the forefront in what is known as the "Islamic Golden Age".

Books by the Oxford Historian Peter Frankopan are a great read if you want to learn more about this.

thats not very mormon of you.....

As others have already pointed out, going "ultra pro max" on the metaverse was such a huge miscalculation by Zuck. I was so torn when Mark was pushing this idea like it was main thing now. The whole rebrand was flawed. Like you could just ask people all around you if they were going to use this meta crap and no one said yes (basic product/market fit)

What really confirmed this awful strategy for me was when Sheryl (ex-COO FB) left the company. You have to understand, FBs leadership was beautifully segregated. The business side was handled by Sheryl (and team) while Zuck and Boz took care of product and technology.

At its heart FaceBook was a good product (and viable business model), a few tweaks and changes would have made it sooo much better.

Even though I deleted my account for personal reasons in 2017, FB fueled the post 2005 hacker culture and it is sad to see this state of the company that inspired so many of us.

Scratch was my first introduction to programming. Thanks to everyone behind it!

Can only feel the pain....

I think Twitter will very much become a creator-based micro-blogging platform. Some would argue thats kind of what it is now but there are still elements missing.

Longer character limits. Revenue sharing. More exclusive features for Blue Subscribers.Long-form video...

Lets see what they end up shipping tho...

I use a chrome extension called DF Tube. I also don't subscribe to anyone so that makes it better.
