That's the biggest problem with everyone doing the corporate socials' enshittification cycles instead of POSSE and/or independent services. Cool communities just fracture and die.

I've tried to get people to see this for decades. Maybe it'll finally enter the zeitgeist this go around.

I think so!

The difficulty depends on several things, but the easiest systems can be picked up enough to use in a few days to weeks.

I'll try to put together an intro post this weekend. How would you rank these features?

  • Speed
  • Size on page
  • Less study required
  • Number of users
  • Ability to type it
  • Phonetic (texts written phonetically are about 20% shorter, but it is an extra thing to learn)

You know what, why not? I'll give it a go. Let's see what happens.

If I recall, the rule of thumb is orders of magnitude. If you have 100 active users, there are probably about 1,000 lurkers, and only 10 substantial users that account for most of your content.

This is the rule from corporate marketing stats, tho, so who knows if the Fedi works the same.

Shorthand is a method of writing faster and/or more compactly. Speeds over 200 words per minute are attested, or fitting an entire printed page on a sticky note.

It's an extremely niche interest, so the main thing preventing a comparable community here is enough active users who are interested. I've wanted to do a series of posts teaching one of the systems, but I've not hand the chance.

I'm stuck on there because /r/shorthand is inimitable (for now). !shorthand@lemm.ee, but it'll have to be bootstrapped.

Cooled, in batches in a standing blender, then reheated.

That's never happened to us. Could be our usual sauce is too wet.

I made it once for Thanksgiving years ago. Everyone loved it. It was a pain. Especially since I didn't have an immersion blender.

If it helps, we've found cooking the noodles was unnecessary. It holds together better if you don't.

Never had it with avo. I'll have to try that out.
