Lots of people showing up to complain about my thin skin. Folks, I'm still here. I can deal with your bullshit.

The people I want to read are not here. They did not want to deal with your bullshit.

I honestly miss how informed I felt on Twitter. The people doing really cool stuff, the critical mass of cross-replying academics and scientists, I feel like did a touch-and-go 15 months ago and never came back.

Me too.

It takes years to build up a breadth and depth of good sources, and many of them aren't here yet.

I also miss being able to complain about a service and have the chief executive's office sorting it because they were so afraid of Twitter.

My theory is that this is the natural state of these distributed asynchronous social networks.

I think Reddit’s sauce was in encouraging no-friction fission.

For me this place now feels just like Twitter pre clout. The only difference, fewer commercial official accounts, and dearth of big shots with programmatic statements. But the community is absolutely here

Exact same thing here. I reposted your concern and get the same passive aggressive replies. People chasing me off this platform because they’re so tolerant to other opinions, I guess.

My goodness.
