Reddit, Twitter, other social media.
But then there are (believe it or not) communities outside of the internet as well. Actual people working actual jobs in real life.
- ninkendo 5y agoTwitter is an “online tech community”? I think we have different definitions of the term. To elaborate, I think there’s too much non-tech people on social media for you to say that it’s a better representation of the “tech community” than HN. HN has at least some self-selection towards people who are interested in tech, whereas Twitter/FB/etc has way too much noise from non-tech uninformed crypto fetishists to say it’s representative of the “tech community”. (That is not to say that non-tech people’s opinions don’t matter, or that twitter/FB/etc are not good places in general, but the subject of this thread of discussion is “what the tech community thinks of crypto/web3” and I don’t think “everyone on twitter” is great to use as a counter-example.)
