I don't use Twitter. (Or haven't since ~2006). That sounds like a miserable user experience in general, what compels you to seek out that experience?

- SoftTalker 3y agoI don't use twitter either but I guess it's the same reason many of us come here. We find it interesting and/or entertaining. I know I've had days where I killed hours on HN. I try to avoid it, but still probably spend more time here than I get in compensating benefit. Very little of what is discussed here is really important in a significant way if you take a step back and evaluate it honestly.
- yodsanklai 3y agoHN is very different in the sense that HN moderation and culture encourages users to be civic. Twitter incentizes for the opposite.
- rsynnott 3y agoOh, I’m essentially off it since naughty ol’ mr car took it over; it used to be better (though even then, there’s a reason it was affectionately known as the hellsite).
- yodsanklai 3y agoTwitter is extremely addictive and bring the worse in people. There's a constant flow of information, lots of arguments, lots of famous people (also addicted). For some reason, HN likes to pick on Facebook, but Twitter is by far the most toxic social network.
