I love the idea of digital gardens as those independent personal islands where people expand on their topics of interest free of attachment to major social media platforms, but what I find again and again is that instead of people creating digital gardens around their passions and interests, instead of each garden being uniquely personal to the person who creates it, they all look exactly the same: mostly empty, obsessed over productivity and note-taking but without any actual notes of substance on any topic other than notes itself. The only books you see within books notes section are Atomic Habits and How To Take Smart Notes, the only people who seem to make digital gardens are uniquely boring individuals who have absolutely nothing to say and think of nothing other than another reiteration of “how to use obsidian”. Like what are you guys even using obsidian for if using it seems to be a goal in itself? It gets ridiculous how devoid of any personality those public vaults are and I just don’t understand how is it even possible. How is it possible that personal digital gardens all look like they’re automatically generated using the same template and are anything BUT personal, anything BUT unique?

直接了当表达出对同质化的所谓“数字花园”的厌倦,这些站点充斥着大量“如何建立数字花园”、“如何记笔记”、“如何建立第二大脑”诸如此类的生产力色情文章(为何我想到少数派上的某些文章?)。这句质问 what are you guys even using obsidian for if using it seems to be a goal in itself? 直抵核心,也是悬在我头上的警醒,它提醒我在任何情况下都要注意不要陷入生产力工具使用陷阱,不要把手段当作目的。

永远有比如何使用某一工具更加重要的事情。

那些从不把“笔记方法”放在首位的数字花园,才是真正个人的、有趣的、持续增长的站点。我本想点一些网站,不过这样显得太过攻击性,还是放一些我喜欢的数字花园为好。首先是这个帖子里出现过的:

第一个和第三个都鼎鼎大名。下面是我过去收藏过的合集。
