It's Lonely Here

I pride myself on not having analytics here. If you're reading this, then I have no idea. The only way I know if people are reading my blog is either if my cloudflare quota fills up, if people contact me, or view the Contact page (the form provider in my contact page does have analytics that can't be turned off).

I tell myself that I shouldn't care about if people read what I write, because that is not the point. I use this platform not necesarrily to improve my writing, but more to refine my opinions. I have found (civil) arguments help me find my own opinions, and writing arguments — captial to dot, not just as a vauge feeling, also helps me refine my opinions.

Every morning, I look through bearblogs discover, and I see posts with tens of upvotes. I feel like I'm a part of a community, but every now and then I remember that I am not on bear. I'm on my own little page.

I sometimes share blogposts that I think someone might like to read (i.e very few of them). I don't want to spend too much effort though, I won't stay here forever. Whenever my ISP allows, I'll hop onto selfhosting instead. That will bring a new domain, new RSS feed, etc.

If you're reading this, good for you. Send me an email, just say hello. Or don't, not like I would know if you didn't...

Thoughts, opinions or simply want to say hello?
Send me a mail, I might even respond!
