Alan Watts contextualizes our daily lives as the outer, “fine spray” at the edge of the big bang --still exploding. Planets “people-ing” and your daily schedule, relationships, accuisition of goods, etc. is just the complex late stage of the big bang explosion. The explosion is chaos but as time goes by order slips in and creates “complexity”. This is all still an explosion.
There absence of a few subreddits here in lemmy world are making my experience somewhat incomplete. I was really into r/noiserock on reddit and would like to help re-create that community. It does not seem as straight forward though. Am I only allowed to create communities on my instance? I guess, in general, how are new...
Ok, thanks. My instance is reddthat.com (relatively small I believe) and I don’t think I see a way to create a community. I will reach out to the instance admin and see if that is currently by design.

It sure does. There’s a lot of research in the study of New Media that points to the superficial nature of how we connect online. We’re sharing banal content to weak-ties constantly. It’s not real human connection. On social media we are often just staring at everyone’s highlight reel. It’s unhealthy. You should read, “Alone Together” by Sherry Turkel.
But it’s not all grim. If you read about Participatory Culture you’ll see there’s an upside to New Media technology, which is the ability to be content producers, not just consumers.
Social media often fails to connect all 7 billion of us in any real, meaningingful, human way. We’re all just really busy being alone together.

Which app is better? Jerboa or Connect?
I started with Jerboa and then I switched to Connect. They both feel comparable…maybe Connect is a tad more intuitive.
Do you think Technology makes us more lonely...?
