I am Cellar

[BigV]

the cellar has balance.

the cellar has all the crap we have IRL, more or less, but FB, ugh. Just no. Even FB admits to moderating that shit to death. Picture this: I like a woman's shape, curves, etc. That's the cellar. FB takes that shape and observes that slender waists generate 1.5x more eyeball time than less slender waists (because it monitors and measures that shit nine ways from sunday). It then (throws balance out the fucking window) proceeds to tightlace your feed, corseting your FB experience because if some is good, more is better. The result is a deformed presentation of what started out as/comes from just regular people.

There is no such tightlacing here on the cellar. what we have is just people, granted, articulate thoughtful people who share the good and bad and mundane, but those people, we people ARE out there IRL.

an interesting thought is what is it that the cellar has that is missing IRL? ... immediacy? odors? ... I don't know. I do know that it takes time to compose my response here in the cellar. I can (much more easily) speak without thinking IRL
