[tantek] This article touches on a bunch of things where one's own (or someone else's personal) website plays a role (perhaps in addition to their social media), in a much broader socially asymmetric context, sometimes in potentially longterm harmful way (short term needs satisfied while exacerbating/neglecting long term needs): https://reallifemag.com/why-cant-we-be-friends
#
[tantek] nevermind the implication on UI/UX for "friending"
#
[tantek] Knowing about the phenomena in the article, is it possible to better design (and use) one's own site as a way to reinforce actual friendships rather than fall into (or exacerbate) parasocial traps?
