Reddit you have control over your timeline. The comments can be good to. Just stick to your interests. Twitter turned into garbage when Elon decided to make it pay-to-play. Giving Blue Checks ranking boosts and extra power when they block others ruined every reply section. On any even vaguely political tweet you now have to scroll forever through a bunch of illustrated profile pics hurling insults before you can get to a real discussion.

>Twitter turned into garbage when Elon decided to make it pay-to-play. Twitter has been garbage for a long time before that.

No. Reddit has zero manipulation resistance. Votes aren't working, and its users are too prone to manipulations too. Tangentially and thankfully, current Internet manipulation frameworks appear to have been built for Reddit and its users; it sticks out elsewhere, and those malicious users at individual levels are easy to bump over edge for anyone with experience in other Internet communities. Twitter is o-kay. They seem to have largely gave up investments on African-Indian spammer program and it's on its way out. Gratification mechanisms outside of the feedback loop such as paid boosts and reward cash are clearly detrimental to creator performance, so they were destined to be filtered out. Pushing blue check contents is like pushing AI clips in style of Tarkovsky to TikTok junkies, it never works. I think Twitter users by this point as a collective consciousness must have learned that weaponizing Bluesky/Mastodon transition to trivialize corporate influence is a viable short term strategy, considering how slow and tame changes on the platform has lately been. Twitter had always had such mutually toxic and manipulative relationship between the company and its users.
