Well, I can't #Doomscroll anymore for various reasons, but I can still #Stitch! So that's why I've been significantly more quiet on here lately. I've been working on re-stitching the projects in "Basic Cross Quilting" so I can *hopefully* do instructional videos for each project. (1)

Soon #loops might become part of the #fediverse, promising a #doomscroll engine that can be implemented differently, depending upon the frontend.

And yes, we do actually want that - because then we can take that power away from the #corporatists - which is a good thing.

If we want people to get off of predatory corporate platforms we have to offer an alternative.

I intend to try my hand at making a different frontend for it, with #wellness functions, #gamefication, blackjack and hookers.

Yes, it can be addictive, but in a good way. 😉

"On Wednesday, a New York-based app developer named Isaac Gemal debuted a new site called WikiTok, where users can vertically swipe through an endless stream of Wikipedia article stubs in a manner similar to the interface for video-sharing app TikTok."
