- dvngnt_ 3y agosocial media is much worse than TV though
- mderazon 3y agoWhat does setting up your own Nitter instance give you that the hosted one doesn't? Just additional privacy? As for Reddit, is there another frontend?
- swader999 3y agoHN is all I have left. Been this way for a few years. I guess I still use Twitter, but just for local emergency news.
- gamegoblin 3y agoI follow ~200 extremely high quality people on twitter, never use the algorithmic timeline -- just the "Following" tab, and it is easily 10x more signal to noise than HN for me, I'm almost upset I didn't start using it sooner. Only works if you can resist the temptation to follow national news orgs, politics, etc. In my little niche, though, I essentially never see any of that, even less than one sees on HN. It's all just tech, AL/ML, space/rockets, startups, etc.
