I don't know why I get my hopes up

Whenever I discover, or rediscover a new social media website, I always go into it with the hope that the running conversations on that site will somehow be different. My hope is to someday find a website whose comments aren't dominated by mindless bickering about shit that really doesn't matter, propagated by the anonymity of the internet. I would love to find intelligent, witty conversations that don't devolve into petty squabbling about semantics or name-calling for the sake of defending one's ideology.

A man can dream, can't he?

See you tomorrow.

  1. Go to the Atlantic and read Ta-nehisi Coates. He has consciously cultivated a massive community of smart people commenters (He calls them the Horde--his WoW reference...).

    It is awseome.
