[2-Minute Essay] On the "Village of note" | 197th Day of Continuous note Posting

Good evening, everyone.
Are you having fun brainstorming with AI today?

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye since I created my account on note.
Before I knew it, the milestone of 200 consecutive days of posting is fast approaching.

Posting an article every day and occasionally receiving a "like."
While repeating those days, I suddenly realized something.

That is, "note is a village."

For those who feel "that's exactly right."
And for those who think, "Wait, what do you mean by a village...?"
I think the feeling differs depending on how you engage with note.

When I first created my account, I didn't know a single person in the world of note.

The number of likes I received in a week was at most a single digit.
Even at best, it barely exceeded 10.

I wasn't discovered by anyone, and my articles didn't get any likes.
Such overly quiet days continued for over two months.

At one point, I suddenly thought:
"What kind of articles are other users writing, anyway?"

From there, my engagement and interaction with others finally began.

I started visiting various people's articles and giving likes to those I found "interesting" or "compelling."

As I encountered diverse writing in that way, I began to want to write my own articles "more interestingly" as well.

While reviewing my past writing and consulting with AI, the themes of my articles changed significantly. It was also around this time that I started writing essays.

Now, I have become able to write articles in my own words without needing AI to polish the format.

For someone like me who, before starting note, never wrote anything for others to read outside of work, this change has been quite significant.

The platform called note only provides the "place."

But what kind of village you build there is something the user must decide for themselves.

Will you step out yourself and interact with what kind of users?
Or will you just quietly leave your articles and wait patiently for them to drift into someone else's place?

Recently, I feel that the likes on my articles are like "mutual survival checks."

I was moved.
I agree.
I read it properly.

They are "likes" that act as substitutes for such voices.

Each of those interactions piles up, building "my own village" within note.

How does this place called note appear in your eyes?
