Hopefully Twitter doesn’t get a heir and the whole concept dies.
There’s a weird distinction in Twitter, or something, between the tweets (which are, like, a single post in a discussion, but oddly emphasized) and the comments below them, which are, like, just as much part of the discussion but smaller for some reason.
A site that is: what people thought Reddit was supposed to be before it sold out (communities, mostly self-moderated), would be much better.
- unshavedyak 2y agoSo i agree with you partly, but Reddit suffers too imo. Notably it feels like the arbitrary walls of Subreddits impose friction that is painful. I feel like what i personally want is a Twitter-like UX but with content organized automatically like Reddit. Ie i want to follow topics, like Reddit, but without the walls - like Twitter. Twitter has tags, sure, but that assumes people use them well. Bluesky might have this a big with moderated feeds? Just not sure how well a feed can start opting into topics.
- bee_rider 2y agoI’m curious to see how the moderated feeds work out. Twitter, because it doesn’t host conversations but salvos of rhetoric, can get away with just having user-to-user blocking. The walls on Reddit are artificial, but they do solve the problem of having a “community” in the sense that most people can see most comments, and it can still be moderated, but the moderation can be tailored to the community.
