I mean this is the problem with Twitter style media in general. You have to just like the people and everything they say. Which tends to lead to just trying to make clever quotes which don't really give much in terms of content.

Sure, I didn't necessarily think it was going to "solve" anything, it was more just a proposed solution that does not work in practice in its current form.

Yeah Ive never really been able to make a Twitter style feed work for me. I get the impression that Twitter is mostly just about everyone trying to be the cool kid that gets noticed, but actual discussion and content doesn't really happen much. Most people are too busy posting to read anything anyone else posts.

True. I use it more for sports updates and such, which was the issue. I'd follow an NFL starter pack, and I'd get some journalists and insiders, and then just some random dudes with a podcast from 2 years ago and now they write about Anime and van life or something. Just doesn't work in its current format like that lol.

Aside from these forum style accounts, BlueSky is the only actual social media I have, and my engagement is pretty low. But it serves its purpose for me
