There was a thesis last year that FC needed more beef to grow Well, after posting some content lately that led to USDA Choice Beef, I’ve realized that I don’t personally like beefing As a result, I have a few options: 1) self-censor and avoid posting certain content that creates polarity 2) lean into it, be more polarizing and begin using the mute + block functionality more liberally 3) invest more time into figuring out how to continue posting about certain topics, in a way that elicits less of an emotional response I think I’m going to try doing a combination of 1) and 3) Option 2 feels like a bummer because this network has felt like a digital community where people for the most part respect each other and can share whatever they want without fear of vitriol As it grows, it might become less respectful and less about human connection. But I don’t want to encourage it in that direction by leaning into the aggressive behavior prematurely

I find myself doing 1) & 3) regularly because there are lots of relationships I value that would be impacted by more frequent or hostile conflicts that come with certain types of internet discourse good convos across opinions are totally possible, I've had them here a bunch. but the internet abstracts the human side out of a lot of interactions, and politics (to use the term generally) obscures complex, nuanced personal views behind flat generalizations & terms that imply different things to different people growth is complicated!

100% The magic of this place is that it feels like the virtualization doesn’t lead to dehumanization Hoping to keep that vibe
