In-reply-to » Sidequestion: currently I am running a TiddlyWiki for myself with private and public tagged posts. The intention was, to make non-private tiddlers (posts) public at one point in the future. Now I have found https://github.com/usememos/memos whis looks really nice. If I find out how to skin it a bit to have wider text, I shortly thought about switching over. No InterWiki Links so, but that is doable by linking manually.

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net “It’s too complicated”, “Use what everyone else use” or “Why I can’t do X only with you?”

I’ve heard those phrases too many times.

My way of doing is a bit weird but help others know that I’m always reachable, but not in a way others do.

I purposely delay everything from what I don’t like to use

Ranging from days to weeks or months, messages or content shared via WhatsApp or other similar medium, a Facebook link (I don’t have FB) is ignored, a group chat is totally ignored even when mentioned.

I’m always immediate on answering via direct messages and calls, I also always say this “What do you need help with?” like a good family call center to see for what reason they contact me.

Doing so for many years has paid off greatly.

Some cut ties by saying I’m antisocial (partly true 😎) and never care for me again, not that they cared before, others stopped writing to me and directly choose to call or video call, “just to see me”, it makes me happy to know that, others started inviting me to their house for lunch or dinner just to meet me.

That’s what I did, if someone care for you they’ll find ways to interact with you and maybe they’ll try to understand and (and maybe adopt) your ways of doing and tools.
