Croissanthology’s De-lurk from the internet suggests transmuting found content into public contribution and creation:
The point of this post is to emphasize that most are way too passive about the internet, and that includes the need to write more and “de-lurk” but ALSO actually doing something with all the content you’re bombarded with.

Croissanthology’s De-lurk from the internet suggests transmuting found content into public contribution and creation:
The point of this post is to emphasize that most are way too passive about the internet, and that includes the need to write more and “de-lurk” but ALSO actually doing something with all the content you’re bombarded with. Open links! Read things! Spend 5 minutes by the clock thinking about how to apply the knowledge you’re gathering instinctively like nuts in Autumn. This is the cure to “doomscrolling”.
Martin’s Read, React, Recycle adds how housekeeping after reacting can navigate information abundance well:
What if we read to react and then recycle?
This is how it could work:
- Read
Well... read something, a blog post in your RSS reader, for instance.
- React
Do something, like what I’m doing here, which is writing a blog post after reading something I’m already forgetting.
- Recycle (or trash)
Mark as read, archive, delete, what have you.
Finally, Sam’s Are we live? asks readers to guess whether a given piece of writing was written by him or the AI writing tool, Sudowrite.
All that sparked a thought: the more I write with what I read, the more crucial synthesizing inspiring content becomes over doomscrolling, hoarding, and purity testing.
Synthesizing multiple pieces together with my thoughts like above works even better. Intertwining would-be private or standalone bookmarks not only shares the love, but also offers springboards to a broader information diet. Each piece, including my own, serves a whole greater than the sum of its parts.
