@sarahjeong This article is absolutely perfect. Thank you so much for writing it.

I worry too about insulating myself from the daily drama of Twitter, but I kinda don't care, because this is the most fun I've had talking with people on the Internet since I discovered AOL chatrooms.

@jasong @sarahjeong @nolan This. Considering the garbage clogging Twitter and Facebook, I'd pretty much written off all social media as wretched hives of scum and villainy. There's a case to be made that the enjoyability of a space is (arguably) inversely proportional to the number of people involved.

Raises an interesting question of insularity vs. inclusivity. Small towns are stereotypically "friendlier", but whether they're friendly to you depends a lot on who you are.
