Reddit in particular feels totally lost. The overwhelming majority of posts and especially comments are milquetoast, LLM-feeling, uninsightful, centrist drivel.
It's so loud that it's easy to forget that real humans crave real interactions and learning.
For me, if you can tolerate a more blue-leaning political climate, Bluesky feels better than X. It may not explode as fast, but the long-tail effect is real. Anonymity is also a bit stronger there.
I wouldn't mind that. The problem there is that every topic is mixed with politics and it drains me. I'm already bombarded with political stuff from every angle and when I want to talk about tech I don't want more politics into it.
In that regard even X is better. I can keep it pretty clean by following few people and not looking at the For you page.
Haha, true, but I’m really interested in political theory and philosophy. So occasionally when I come across some very in-depth original content on Bluesky, it feels great. I’ve even made some friends there with whom I can have long-term conversations, for example, discussions on Bayesianism, rationalism and empiricism, as well as Spinoza’s Ethics.
I’m not really interested in topics about the Democrats or Republicans, Biden or Trump.
