I couldn’t help but wonder if I was starting my own Carrie Bradshaw arc (except, like, not?). The premise is mostly based on the fact that here we are in this blog (but also forum?).

This whole thing has been a ‘Crash Out’ a pipe dream I’ve had since around 2009. I obviously wasn’t able to pull it off back then (far too young to have access to adult money), so this has certainly been quite the experience. one I didn’t necessarily plan on having.

Anyway, let’s talk about what this whole thing is exactly… to which I have no idea, honestly. The idea was simply to make space. to create an outlet outside the scope of current social media and return to something more basic and free. I wanted a place that isn’t trying to sell or peddle anything, and isn’t constrained by censorship. A place private (in a sense) from prying eyes that seek to push a specific narrative. I think the founding ethos here is simply freedom.

So, why do this? Well, why not? If this turns out to be nothing, then at least an attempt was made, right? The times are ripe for making the seemingly impossible possible. I’ve come to understand that most limitations are self imposed and since those no longer exist, why not just set out and create?

To cap things off, this has moved from the concept of an idea to a somewhat working version of one. There are still plenty of things left to do (and fix). The ambition is pretty high but then again when isn’t it? And why shouldn’t it be?

Are things broken? kind of.

is it somewhat functional? also kind of.
