I second your thoughts on how knowing the facts (particularly facts through a screen) is not the same as knowing in relationship. There is a deeper knowing to be had.
However, I would not reduce your posts to "information." Certainly some types of posts could be information heavy, but you are rarely an information-only gal. You are telling a story. Your story. A story which reflects God's story--the one He is always telling in the world. In that sense, even if someone does not return to you all to know *you* more, they may come to know *Him* more.
May a multiplicity of relationships grow in this writing process of yours, and may none of them be cheapened by it.
Somehow my comments were being goofy yesterday, but I tried to reply! Anyway, thank you for these thoughts. Perhaps a follow-up post is needed, to process through the idea of knowing via story, and the value of knowing in different ways.
I do put a high priority on stories, in general (or I wouldn't be a writer!), and wanted to distinguish those, but not diminish!

Look at you two CM homeschoolers doing what we love to do. Namely wrestling with ideas. 🥹 I’m here for it.
Regarding the topic of the article, it's funny how outdated people's databases of you can be.
