a new platform shows up on HN, so I'm here, just in case I miss out.
I'm also on urbit, just in case I miss out.
I'm also on urbit because I am a pseudocoder, but I like fp and weirdness. My real field is [humanities], and after five years I'm only beginning to come to terms with liking it, and being able to undertake real scholarship.
I'm sure plenty of people are here as a 'twitter alternative', and sure, why not? The design seems calmer, and calm computing is good computing. Someday I hope my research will become calm, maybe even my mind and my heart too.
