—an impromptu meditation…

Was Ello “destroyed by greed” though?

Hot take: Personally, I think not.

Not specifically.

Ooof. 😞 

Update, about 2, 3 hours later: Apparently this time (once again) it was only a temporary outage again. But the way the Talenthouse situation is still going, as has been the case, we’ll never qute know…

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Screenshot taken on my phone just a few moments ago (7th June 2023, around 07:19pm local Jakarta time).

Two “Elloon” doodles… /cc @elloon​

Update: Harrumph Tumblr seems to be borking comments still 😡💢

@matthewschiavello Yes! Please feel free to use as our Elloon group avatar! 🙌🍞

Update the 2nd: I seem to have been re-granted the right to comment on posts again… Yaay! (For now.)

Andy Baio, owner of Waxy.org and subject of Wikipedia article, has written a somewhat long & in-depth eulogy of Ello…

I personally like it. There are some details that I personally would have added to it (such as the whole Galaxim & Bibles thing, the Cult of Monoboob, the writing communities, Currentivism the-almost-but-is-an-art-movement, and various other Ello deep-lores), but not right now though… Maybe in a few more days, if I get around to it…

Thanks Andy, and hello fellow Ello-Tumbleweeds this text might pique your interests… ✌☕🍞

The Ello dot Co website is down again… Wonder if it will be permanent this time.

A major characteristic of burnout is the inability to disengage from stress, or more specifically an inability to disengage from a constant mental state of stressfulness.

And no, one can’t just simply turn off PTSD like how one would turn off a faucet. One doesn’t just “get over it”. To suggest that it is possible to simply do so, is insulting. Hurtful, even.

I wonder if the “Ello-ification” of my Tumblr experience will ruin my Tumblr experience for me…

…but meh. I effectively have no Tumblr “experience” before this.

So. Onwards!

Stray thought: Maybe I should start using the #elloon hashtag on Instagram, too. And on Vero, too… hehe.
