/blog

It's been three weeks since I first made the /updates view live for /reader. I wondered if it might affect how I read the things I'm subscribed to.

I have to say that it has, and I'm loving it!

The change has had exactly the effect I was hoping. I've been enjoying the look and diversity of other people's sites again, looking forward to new post notifications so that I can jump out and soak in the variety. I've left more comments in more places than I have in ages.

Too many comment sections have become toxic or completely disabled so it's nice to find places where I can interact with people who obviously enjoy what they're doing on their sites. It reminds me of how things used to be before the networks.
