yossy site
Added 2022-02-03 19:39:58 +0000 UTCColoring and finishing the yossy comic kinda got outta hand. Just sorta dropped it on y'all without talkin. February always makes me feel weird. Anyway, here's the site. All in one location for ya. And to me that begs the question: What about sharing with others?
I've always liked that about the internet. Sharing my work with anyone who shows up or stumbles onto it or whatever. I liked that the other way around too! Finding people who would have never been given a chance outside of doing it themselves. I still like that! And I've talked about how social media has changed that landscape a lot. And Web3 feels like a threat. The idea of artificial digital scarcity is completely against anything I loved about this stupid web. Even if it's fake and not real, the idea that people are just all aboard on it makes me shudder. Makes me wonder how do I fit in? Do I keep doing what I'm doing, head in the sand, y'all along with me? Do you jump on a bandwagon? I'm not saying I'm about to do NFTs or anything, but these fools are not slowing down. And it gets me worried to how I see myself in the future. It really feels useless to fight against this kinda thing sometimes.
So, I'll leave it to you. I made the site. It's easy enough to find and share. If you wanna link it to people on social media, go ahead. If you wanna post about it, post. I leave these comics in your hand and how you want to share them is now up to you. I'd rather more people get to read my work than not, but I don't wanna slap the hands that are helping me out here on patreon. Ball's in your court.

Yeah I hope this current web moment will pass. It seems too frenzied to sustain itself for long. But it can be really overwhelming. I miss that early web 2.0 feeling, and I think that's a pretty common sentiment.

2022-02-03 20:42:08 +0000 UTCI shared it right in the twitter thread where you posted the island and even though you said to do whatever you want with it it still feels naughty and wrong But like I'd love for more people to be able to see it and I tried to bury what exactly it is so there's that old web feeling of discovery to it maybe?

2022-02-03 20:08:51 +0000 UTCI love your method of sharing your work. Just because web3 is the current fad doesn't mean it's better. Keep up the good work.

2022-02-03 20:03:57 +0000 UTCAlthough FB did an OK job of just using the first page as a thumbnail I guess. https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fkcgreendotcom.com%2Fyossy%2F
2022-02-03 19:49:22 +0000 UTCAdd some open graph tags so people can see a big fat image when they share it! Just a few meta tags. https://ahrefs.com/blog/open-graph-meta-tags/
