I used to use Twitter to find interesting things to read, but de-viralizing links (and now the headlines don't even appear) has neutered Twitter for that purpose, and IME made it much dumber. Substack Notes is better for finding things to read but still small.

bsky probably holds the most promise, but the platform’s going through some Eternal September growth pains right now, and it’s not clear what will emerge once federation is baked in. Nonetheless, most of my Twitter subgraphs have migrated over there in the last few months, so it’s finally getting a pretty crowded feel to it, at least for me. Not a drop-in replacement for Twitter, particularly on fast-moving breaking news, but Twixtter is no longer “where news happens” either.
