I think this decentralization and federation is what web3 is all about, without all the corporations calling everything to do with monkey pixel art that costs a million dollars "web3"
He's the only person I've blocked. I went on the other day and saw a tweet was hidden, clicked to view it, and when I saw it was him, I immediately closed the tab. Twitter is really good at providing me content that makes me want to leave 😆
I recently used linked thinking in Obsidian to do some critical meme analysis for therapy. It was a good exercise in creating index notes, e.g. a meme crossing over Marvel and The Good Place wouldn't fit in a folder for either one.
I've heard of PARA but haven't really tried it. Do you have any idea how you'd handle meme crossovers? I wouldn't want to have folders for any particular show since a meme could be in 2+ shows.
I used to use Google Docs primarily, and yesterday was migrating some old notes out of it. I tried Notion, excited about timelines, but ultimately found Obsidian/linked thinking to be better for me.
If Obsidian wasn't around, I would look closely at Tiddlywiki and emacs org-mode. I wish I had Obsidian back when I was new to coding! And backlinks can be cool, and I do use them, but less than once a month.
I like your PDF pipeline! I do that manually sometimes but I usually just grab text. I've been meaning to dig into RSS too, with my primary feed (reddit) largely going away and Lemmy not having as much content right now, I want to curate a new, more mindful feed.
I use Obsidian and today was thinking about how I would "never" use Evernote for certain reasons, but I was just looking at your link to DEVONthink and I realize that I'd have to use a service like that for certain scanning/searching features if I had to scan papers as it sounds like you did.
Do you have any favorite personal examples of DEVONthink doing something that is ahead of the curve? Also, how was effort of scanning?
There are lots of different ways to compare, but with Obsidian I like
that I spend zero ongoing cognitive energy on security/privacy/availability concerns
first-class aliases
speed
easy to backup continuously
local graph view
(while I don't use it much,) the mobile app is much more solid
the leadership and the business
I find it easier to do long-form writing
I do miss Roam's outliner and backlinks sometimes, but not enough to have bothered with a plugin yet. I also wasn't sure about Roam's future, and remained a paid subscriber to support them until I saw how the CEO had decided to moderate the subreddit.
I would say that counts! Is there anything specific you're curious about? Particular issues in your personal system or interesting things you've seen from others?
I'm glad to hear others are using their notes for mental health. I've been using intersectional memes as a way to connect similar patterns that are usually silo'd. Is there anything more you'd like to share on the topic?
That's fair, I've run into that too. Is there anything that you do check? I've found that emailing myself and snoozing it (in gmail) helps since I'm an inbox-zero person.
Thanks for making this post! I (30NB) was diagnosed with cPSTD a little over a year ago and just this week my therapist is referring me for ASD screening. I find Discord utterly overwhelming and I like the reddit/lemmy kind of forum stuff over twitter/mastodon.
I'm looking forward to lemmy making progress! I'm a SWE and I wish I could contribute but I'm focusing on EMDR and general trauma processing right now 😕
Hi, thanks! I've seen occasional Slack channels that are full of animated reactions and gifs, but Discord is so, so much worse.
I love forums because it's hard to miss something. It's easy to ignore subforums or mark them as read, and there's no realtime pressure. With Discord, I feel more likely to miss than catch anything. I've had notification badges that after 30 minutes I still couldn't figure out how to make go away. There's a mode to disable animations, but you can't see them again without disabling the mode (why not a button for each gif??). I tried joining a queer Discord but everyone's pronouns are a different font in a different color in a different size, all the time, with no way for me to simply the UI on my end. It really seems to me like it's only popular because of mobile apps.
Lemmy and Mastodon feel like the real web3.
