I want a community, not an audience.
- Audience is stuff like reach, personality/celebrity, spectacle, anxiety, alienation, competition.
- Community is more like voice, discussion, comradery.
My social media usage is something like this.
- Follow people wherever they are (including the big silos).
  - This is with a social reader.
- Write locally, in my personal wiki, first.
  - This is with org-roam.
- Publish on my own site, my 'digital garden'. I for sure own the data this way.
  - This is via Micropub (stream), and org-publish (garden).
- Syndicate things elsewhere, wherever the community best fits for my post. But don't feed the big tech beasts.
  - This is via Webmentions, brid.gy.
- Interact with people wherever they are, but still via my own site if possible.
  - Some combo of social reader, Micropub, brid.gy.
- At present, a combo of org-mode, IndieWeb, Fediverse, Agora make this possible for me.
I do like the phrase 'digital garden' but I still don't feel comfortable enough to not put it in quotes.
Kaweah Colony
- A group of utopian socialists that named the world's biggest tree after Karl Marx in the 19th century. The community was disbanded when Sequoia national park was created and the tree was renamed for American civil war general William Tecumseh Sherman.
