<p>Have you heard about <span class="h-card"><a href="https://flipboard.social/@surf" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>surf</span></a></span>, the new social website product from the makers of <span class="h-card"><a href="https://flipboard.social/@Flipboard" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Flipboard</span></a></span>?

<p>David&#x27;s article really resonated with me because I&#x27;ve been thinking for a long while now to create a newsletter (or three) to surface barely heard voices. </p><p>On Substack, for example, the voices I hear are overwhelmingly from the United States, and it is incredibly hard to find voices from Asia and South-East Asia. It&#x27;s a source of huge frustration for me because the most common narratives about my part of the world is from the United States, and a lot of times these narratives are distorted, skewed to American values and is not what is really happening in my region. Yet, when I try to speak up on Substack, I never get seen as the algorithm is prioritising US voices and Substacks. Worse, they are also boosting only popular ones, which means the most popular narrative is the loudest. </p><p>I have occasionally shared links to South-East Asian Substacks and blogs, and each time I do, I get messages of gratitude. However, I still wondered if my tiny act of rebellion would do anything to move the needle in terms of being heard in an English-speaking Internet overwhelmed by Western voices and narratives. </p><p>David&#x27;s post reminded me that yes, I should put in some effort to help surface more unknown corners of the Internet. Maybe we won&#x27;t get rid of the algorithmic complacency sweeping society now, but at least we&#x27;ll do some tiny thing to help create a messy but human algorithm instead.</p><p><a href="https://www.raptitude.com/2025/06/how-to-surf-the-web-in-2025-and-why-you-should/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.raptitude.com/2025/06/how-to-surf-the-web-in-2025-and-why-you-should/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.raptitude.com/2025/06/how-</span><span class="invisible">to-surf-the-web-in-2025-and-why-you-should/</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/internet/" rel="tag">#Internet</a> <a href="/tags/socialmedia/" rel="tag">#SocialMedia</a> <a href="/tags/algorithms/" rel="tag">#Algorithms</a> <a href="/tags/indieweb/" rel="tag">#IndieWeb</a> <a href="/tags/tech/" rel="tag">#Tech</a> <a href="/tags/blogging/" rel="tag">#Blogging</a> <a href="/tags/blogs/" rel="tag">#blogs</a></p>

<p>I joined infosec and IT groups, shut down Twitter, Bluesky, LinkedIn, and all that shit. I&#x27;m stuck with Mastodon, Reddit, and Github, and I still have to constantly dodge shitty people who only talk about politics. <br>Obviously the problem is not social media but human stupidity. <br>I&#x27;m narrowing the spectrum of people I follow, filtering and blocking unbearable topics. <br>As expected, I use compartmentalization and have accounts to read stealthily and without interacting. <br>I think I&#x27;ll end up leaving Mastodon too. Maybe it&#x27;s just another silly utopia. <br><a href="/tags/actuallyautistic/" rel="tag">#actuallyautistic</a> <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#mastodon</a> <a href="/tags/socialmedia/" rel="tag">#socialmedia</a> <a href="/tags/socialnetworks/" rel="tag">#socialnetworks</a> <a href="/tags/politics/" rel="tag">#politics</a></p>
