>For social media to be social it needs people. While I have hope for the future, current fediverse offerings don’t meet people’s basic social media usability needs.

@skadi those "hacker" link aggregators are vicious circlejerk. up there on top with reddit and big german fediverse instances ;)
@bonifartius when I first discovered orangesite and similar tech-focused communities about two-three years ago I really enjoyed them for the "interesting and insightful discussions in the comments"
either they've gone radically down hill l since then, or I've changed as a person more than I thought lol

@skadi at least lobsters has totally gone downhill (imho since jcs dropped ownership, maybe it just got too big). look at how many long-term users with many points get banned there for complete bullshit. combined with moronic submission rules like "only known domains" etc. at times it was >50% interesting research/projects submitted with good discussions, now it's maybe 10% interesting links with lame discussions. at least how it looks for me.
