I genuinely think exodus to here has made twitter dumber.

Ehh, I think data twitter and econ twitter posting made this place smarter from the perspective of things I am interested in

That’s fair. I’m more thinking the big names who come here and immediately whine about how bad it is.

I would say the "semi-toxic non-profit happy hours" vibes are better, not worse than a year ago.

Those vibes are only so avoidable with a lib exodus IMHO.

From a science POV, I don’t think it’s made Tw@tter dumber (i.e. it hasn’t increased the amount of dumb), it’s just made the dumb more concentrated. Think distillation.

anecdotally there's now a massive engagement gap on anything "intelligent" (charts, maps, data, etc) I post here vs there.

Doesn't help that otherwise bright people there are engaging with ragebait more as a result, sucks to see

May it implode under the weight of its own ineptitude

It’s beginning to feel like early-2009 MySpace over there. You can tell it’s a dying platform but there’s still normal people yet to migrate over.

It’s becoming increasingly unusable due to every comment section being full of blue checkmarks. Normal users don’t get any engagement on comments.
