RE: The double-edged Discord sword

in #life7 years ago

Interesting tale of your journey through the Interwebz! It's very easy to let it all get out of hand. On the other hand having "a moment" can also be a good invitation to just sit back and figure out where our true priorities lie.

The thing with the online environment is that it is SO easy to convert "looks interesting" into being a "participant," at least in name. And then your friend has a project and starts a Discord and then you join that "for the connection's sake" and next thing you know, you're on 31 servers.

If there's a "problem" with the online environment, it's perhaps that we tend to talk about a lot of things. I remember an elderly gentleman who once asked "So do you want to HAVE a business? Or just endlessly TALK about having a business?"

You have a witness now, so visibility does matter. But only to the point that you USE that visibility for something...

Yeah the visibility is important for a witness, in working myself up to a vlog as it seems a more efficient use of time thank to float around discord. We shall see...
