The point about twitter hits hard. I never even considered it as a social credit thing but it's quite obvious. It shapes so much public discourse and outrage, somehow.

Will that change with Musk, I do wonder.

I know, right? It's basically no different from China's Weibo. They control the news, the discourse, they control which opinions or insights are vs. are not allowed... And if you say the "wrong thing" or "spread rumors" they can come for you, or your family. It's horrifying, but we have the same darn thing here, just under another name.

I stay the fuck away from it. Why creatives, authors, anyone bothers with it is beyond me. So much rage created, unique to how it operates too. I'll stay here on the fringes. Now, we have a veneer of freedom of speech, a veneer of freedom of the press, but don't you dare get real influence.

Nope. And sites like this are way safer. Thank God this place in anonymous. It's nice. You don't get to "get famous in real life" but you get to freely share ideas, correct others, and get corrected. It's much healthier.

I agree that Twitter just encourages rage and premature fury. No facts, no hearing from the other guy, just outrage and baying for blood. It's disgusting. And people's lives literally get ruined. Not worth it.

Yeah I prefer it here or on smaller subreddits. I've noticed that with size comes astroturfing, it's almost a law of the Internet. Nudging your views here and there by implied consensus. Here we may get some kooky shit at times but it's been surprisingly civilised and informed. Maybe it's the class of people who feel unsatisfied with the state of things, I don't know.
