So don't look at the top :)Yes Twitter is horrible.
I liked the newsletter when it was predominantly b3ta or b3ta-generated content, those things which made the site unique.
Many of the most active posters here now have social media accounts where they routinely cross-post. A sizable majority of their posts are generic, in the sense that they could be posted almost anywhere online.
While it's great to be outward-looking, formerly it was the inward-facing b3ta 'culture' which overwhelmingly drove this site. If social media has destroyed anything, it's that.

I was actually looking at the early B3ta newsletters last night (easy to access if you know how).I was mostly struck by how many of the links are now dead...some of the content is available via other means (I laughed a lot watching a YT video of Hacker or Spacker), but the supposed permanence of the 'net at the time is starkly highlighted by observing what has been lost in less than two decades...

Sad, isn't it?I remember trying to look at some pretty famous old sites on the Wayback Machine, and most of them are broken.
And almost all of Facebook's content will be lost one day. The content is not accessible to archivists, and I can't see Zuckerberg giving a shit about preserving it.

Product idea: a custom bucket with your bucket list printed on stickers stuck to the side.When you do something from the list, you pull the sticker off and throw it in the bucket.
