I'm sympathetic but I find it surprising that people expect rich discourse on microblogging sites like BlueSky, et. al.
There is probably an inverse relationship between number of voices on a platform and how nuanced the discourse can be. Podcasts kind of take this further by isolating the conversation to a few people who can dig deep.
Doesn't make every Tweet toxic and every podcast deep, but there's a tradeoff nonetheless.
- minimaxir 1y agoPre-2023 Twitter had very good and nuanced discourse about AI, and sharing generative AI demos was more encouraged.
- OmarShehata 1y agoI don't think that's necessarily true, I think it's about curation, not volume. The largest open source projects in the world have enormous inbound volume but extremely high quality discussion because of curation (I'm thinking about maintenance of Wikipedia, Open Street Map, and Godot). This is also true on twitter & blue sky. Looking at the general feed is a completely different world from looking at specific networks.
