maybe it's the tumblrina in me talking but i have historically understood "mutuals" to mean "two people who follow each other," but in the mobile ui "mutual" seems to mean "a person that two people separately follow."
furthermore, in the desktop ui the word "mutual" isn't used on the profile page, but is used if you click on someone's following list. idk if this is just a me problem but it was definitely semantically confusing when i first signed up

spent the last two weeks working on an interactive guide, recommendations database, and digital library (link depot) to help get people off of social media. the first draft is done now, and it's at the link to this post.
it's still very much a work in progress (the library is especially thin atm) - which is why i wanted to share it here before unleashing it upon my IRL friends and the general public. i welcome any and all feedback, bug reports, and suggestions for things to add. i will be pushing updates to it out like a madman in the coming weeks, so be sure to check back every so often to see new additions to the database and library.
additionally, i am still on the hunt for newsletters from local venues / community organizations / magazines / newspapers, etc. the only cities i have remotely covered so far are nyc, orlando, denver, brisbane, and little bits of worcester and chicago. if you know anything in your area that fits the bill, send it my way!

chronological feeds on social media are a dying breed and it's so important to maintain the ones you still have
