And immediately feeling smug and better than everyone still in it. That's the best part!

But how will other people know about this after a while ? If only there was some tech platform where you get to pretend you're better than other people to people that don't care about you. This is the problem we set out to solve with Bluesky.

Hey, I bucked that important step back in 2012 ;-) So far, HM is the only "social" online place where I participate.

What you say reminds me of an ancient Greek saying (I think it was Epictetus). I'm paraphrasing from memory:

"You starved for a whole day to practice discipline? Great! Now resist not telling it to anyone."

Nah I just tell everyone on HN instead which is definitely not social media.

What is your point? It's just one last post.
