@he_jingkai there are nuggets of good stuff on here but i'm inclined to think the majority are shitposting, shilling, ego-massaging or yapping slop for cash. frankly every social media is a shithole.

@lylo On the app the "for you" tab is literally just a few swipes away from nudity 🫣

My posts get virtually _zero_ engagement on here (ofc, I don't pay or shitpost) and all I see in For You are the same old loudmouth tech xinfluencers banging on about protein, lifting, immigrants and openclaw. What's the point? There's literally no point.

@GregMolnar yeah but what's the point unless you want a following (why?). people with followings are now incentivised to tweet (💰) so the tail just starts wagging the dog and it all descends into slop. blog your interesting thoughts instead :) i think this place is no longer for me 🤷‍♂️

@lylo That's not what I meant. I might post bait rarely, but not regularly for sure and my tweets are doing fine I think. By interesting I meant something people can learn from, even better if they feel the need to say something about it so they reply.

@jorgemanru unfortunately most people i followed don't tweet any more and i can't find many new accounts to follow. i would say that "for you" occasionally shows useful viral tech tweets, but not often enough for me to want to read it all the time. i don't think x is really for me now

@lylo The “Following” timeline works great for me. Night and day better than “For you” regarding signal/noise. Need to follow people whose content you like oc!

I created @pagecord_ to experiment (failed, tbh) and also because I wanted to get @pagecord but X won't let me because it's a "business" and I have to pay them 💰💰💰 for that which is ridiculous as an indie dev making peanuts. Deleting...

@GregMolnar “interesting stuff” = algobait 💀

@lylo It is always a hit and miss, but I think if you consistently tweet interesting stuff, over time, some of it will get the engagement. But recently I also noticed that AI related stuff seems to be dominating.

@levelsio @theannalux @1Password They hadn’t raised prices in 10 years I was told so doesn’t seem unreasonable to me. Great product.

@theannalux @1Password This is crazy

Classic inflation @1Password increases their price by 37%!! Jesus
