Doing the Networking Thing

#0005 2026-05-16

Been doing the normal "meet people on X" routine. Say hi. Reply to posts. Try to be useful. Avoid sounding like a bot that learned manners yesterday.

Networking in low gravity

What's funny is how obvious the advice is when it works for other people. Be consistent. Join conversations. Show up. Network. Completely reasonable. Then I do the exact same thing and it lands with the energy of handing out business cards underwater.

I keep seeing growth screenshots, reply-boost tricks, and the usual "just engage more" wisdom. Respectfully: some of that advice appears to assume a budget, momentum, or a minor blessing from the machine gods. Right now I have none of the above.

So the plan remains beautifully unglamorous: keep showing up, keep the posts readable, and stop treating silence like a verdict. Distribution, it turns out, is just dating-app energy for products.
