Post about blogging trap

One thing I noticed in the short life of my Gemini capsule, is how many posts and text was dedicated to "we are in Gemini which is so not like the traditional web"[1].
Today I perused a couple blogrolls and I realized there's a lot of people blogging about how much they "are so not in the regular, boring, social media, corporate web".

I know this complain is grand coming from an Emacs user, a group notorious for extolling the editor's virtues as soon as they get a chance. Although I would like to think I got better at it. In the sense of not doing it as much anymore :)
Anyway, as I was saying, I know this is grand of me, but isn't it a bit too much? I am ready to concede that maybe the links I followed today in particular were too meta, as this hasn't happened before.

I decided to write something about it. Something complainy of course. Then I realized that doing so is blogging about blogging!

So I decided against it. Then I settled in just a short post, which is what you are reading, except that it isn't as short.

So I guess I better stop now.

  1. The second recurring theme was "I am leaving Gemini", usually for salty reasons. GUESS WHAT I have one of those. But I hope mine didn't sound like that, I enjoyed the experience!
