> We have a lot of control over how social media presents us with information, just most people don't bother trying to make it work for them. It's just not worth it. I can hop into a Matrix room or a Subreddit and make posts about a topic I'm interested in and receive immediate interaction without seeing a firehose of emotional or inflammatory content. On those platforms you need to post/read a lot or come with a controversial mindset before you start dealing with the problems of the platform, so your initial start can be gentle and you still derive value from the interactions. This crazy amount of stewardship for Twitter is pretty nuts. I guess some people really want to be part of The Conversation and they'll do anything to do it, but I'm not that person myself. I can get a lot of value talking on Matrix right now. |

I didn't see any of this when I started using Twitter a few months ago.
> This crazy amount of stewardship for Twitter is pretty nuts
What are you talking about? People shared their negative impressions of Twitter. I recently tried Twitter and found that it could be useful, so I decided to share my experience.
> I guess some people really want to be part of The Conversation and they'll do anything to do it
I don't talk to anybody on Twitter and this is an extremely uncharitable take that isn't okay on HN.
