@hazardwarning I'm reminded of the effort we had to go through when ADN flipped the directed posts switch and we lost all the conversations going on around us. TPTB just could not wrap their heads around wanting to see conversations they weren't part of. They finally gave in and gave us the option but they didn't care about the conversations. It was all too much noise to them.

@hazardwarning As for the music (!) I'm very happy to hear that you're enjoying the Ordinary Elephant folks. The other is Rhiannon Giddens. I first discovered her several years ago when she was in a group called the Carolina Chocolate Drops. I encourage you to check out their music as well. :-)

@hazardwarning My little pea brain just ain't seeing it. :-)
I fear the problem the federated people are trying to solve is not the problem I have.

@jussipekonen The kids got you, eh? I missed that news over the weekend. I hope you feel better soon. Hugs…
@indigo I'm glad you're feeling a bit better. I'm very chilled today for no good reason and am sort of wishing I had a fire to curl up near.
@ukhaiku I'm doing okay, thanks. I take it you are home at the moment and not freelancing elsewhere? I think I read something that gave me that impression.
@hazardwarning Yeah. I don't really have any desire to have a stand-alone blog that is made up of random snippets of conversation. I enjoy the random casual conversations I've had on ADN over the years. I don't, in general, care about any random comment I made, though. I think these unfederated solutions to the silo problem aren't terribly interested in casual conversation and aren't going to solve that problem. With ADN shutting down, though, I do see that the idea of losing many of the things I posted as conversation "roots" is sad. I spent some time on my bli.ms page the other day and was sad to think it's all going away. But, if I post that sort of thing on my blog (where I don't allow comments), I hear nothing and it generates no conversation. I don't think a collection of micro-blogs will do any better. I'm willing to wait and see what percolates out, though.
