I noticed in my daily email from my friend Chris Aldrich’s blog mailing list that he did a quick review of a typescript from a lecture Niklas Luhmann seems to have given in 1968, describing his zettelkasten system.
Wrt permanence, my own h. bookmarks and annotations flow directly into my local notes, through the h. API.
The h. software is open sourced, so theoretically one would be able to run their own instance of it. Except for the social function of it. Like you I follow Chris Aldrich annotations feed (which is how I ended up here), and several others. When others bookmark the same stuff I do but use very different tags for it, is where it gets interesting. Like years ago in the del.icio.us bookmarking service, the difference in tags signifies a social or sectoral distance. Basically you're finding a sliver of overlap between two different mindsets / contexts / interests. I then can add those people to the feeds I follow.
Thanks for the heads up on the Aldrich Hypothesis content. I tried Hypothesis with students years ago and focused more on the “social” of social note-taking because that was my academic interest at the time. The potential as a long-term personal knowledge management tool was not a focus. Too many spend so much time reworking their stored content as each new tool has come along they have lost the efficiency of sticking with a tool that works for them. Maybe Chris has spoken about his experiences at length, but I must have missed that. Boffosocko is connected via my RSS reader and perhaps I should dig into the archives.
Interestingly, I passed the 10,000 annotation mark back in 2022 https://boffosocko.com/2022/08/11/55808283/. Over a year or so ago they made some sort of change in the system as I was nearing the 20,000 mark which caps the number of annotations listed on the site at a permanent 10,000 even though I suspect I'm probably coming nearer to 30,000 these days.

I'm not surprised!
