I still used to frequent it all the way up to last month, for some interesting discussions. But now… it’s really become AI-pro[1] and any post that even hints about AI existentialism gets immediately cut down.
I find it hard to browse the site anymore, and lament the loss of expert tech discussion in my weekly routine.
Yes, I know it’s been that way for a while, but either I’m feeling it more or the bots have gamed the website to the point that all you see are announces from big tech companies or people going on about their AI solutions ↩︎
I want to like Mastodon, but I find it too disorienting – way too much noise over signal. Lemmy is too, but one can lurk in a space (politics, electronics, etc.) until something happens
Don’t follow noisy accounts and block boosts from accounts that abuse it but are otherwise interesting. Mastodon like Lemmy is entirely about how you set up your feed, nothing gets pushed to you unless you specifically sign up for it.
