  • I switched from Tiddlywiki to Logseq 3-4 months ago and LOVE Logseq.

    Part of the reason I didn’t like Tiddlywiki was it kept everything in a single html file (including embedded images – eww) which made it annoying to move information around. (Note there is an option to run your own server which gives you extra flexibility, but I wasn’t interested in doing that.)

    With Logseq, it’s separate markdown file per journal entry / wiki page. I like the addons that are available as well as the queries, e.g., {{query (todo doing)}} displays my do now tasks on my journal page.

    Here’s a Beginner’s Guide on how to use LogSeq: YouTube video by Keep Productive







  • To complicate things, you may also get different behaviour in different communities by the same user.

    I think it’s really at the community level that culture can be formed as at the all post level, we all just have our different preferences and that’s fine. Also, our preferences may changed based on what we want/need in a day, e.g., one day we may want jokes while another day we may want tech support.

    And so at the community level, community owner Bob may want no low-effort posts so he can put that into the rules, the mods can enforce that (be removing low-effort posts), the community can enforce it by only upvoting high-effort posts, and then a culture is formed which will draw other people who are into that.

    And likewise the same for other culture/expectations.





  • I think it’s natural to want the majority of posts to meet one’s preferences but what one finds interesting/entertaining/etc. varies for each person.

    I love diversity and choice and so I’m happy that each community can have their own individual rules/cultures and we can pick which communities we want to join. E.g., I wouldn’t expect the same behaviour/rules/culture in a shit posting community compared to an arch linux community, but I’m glad both types of communities and content will exist.

    We can collectively choose what kinds of unique cakes to bake and we can choose which cakes to eat too. :D
