Before social media, there were virtual communities. Many of them. In 1996 we created a directory: rheingold.com/electricmind...

In 1998 I started online community, Brainstorms. Before social media sucked attention we had 400+ active members, meets in San Francisco, Memphis, Amsterdam, Melbourne. ~80 people now. For elders who prefer thoughtful discussion over performative posting, algorithms brainstormscommunity.org

In 1991, Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir agreed to be in an Interview issue on family if Howard Rheingold, who'd interviewed Jerry for his book Virtual Reality, did it. Fascinating. hrheingold.medium.com/interview-wi... @hrheingold.bsky.social donated the audio @archive.org archive.org/details/Rhei...

School is a medium for the teaching of knowledge But most forms of learning don’t require a formal setting or set of procedures—they can operate along the lines of apprenticeship: how-to demonstrations & on-the-job training, whether the task’s to hunt or to sing tales to maintain an oral tradition

Educational institutions proved not to be up to the task over a decade ago when they failed to teach crap detection around internet search.

Bitter lesson of the degradation of the online commons: although vendors of digital media failed to recognize it, literacy and know-how are not externalities. Will llm vendors enable their media products to teach people how to use them?
