[Vespasian]

I wish there was a Twitter currated and moderated like /r/historians is on reddit. The answers you are getting are not always correct and sometimes you dont' get one at all (either because no expert can answer or the question is unsanswerable in the first place) but they are always reasoned, calm and thought out.

(And yes I realize the irony posting this on a social media webpage).

Ultimately most people and their takes are really really boring and "freedom of speech absolutism" (as Twitter nowadays sees itself) leads to interesting, well researched and novel thoughts being drowned out by the mass garbage stuff.

I really don't understand why some people (like the current Twitter CEO) seem to crave that kind of attention.

I'd rather miss a few pearls than being bombared with manure all day.
