That is a very interesting point. I have specifically stayed longer on various platforms, because I really did feel that I had an interesting and more mature point of view that the clearly younger (and immature) general populace of those platforms might not otherwise see.

However, it's tough going, against the relentless reddit meme-spam and nitpickers who only care about being right instead of discussing ideas. I have now quit all other forms of social media except HN, and is a truly sad state of affairs that a large part of a generation has isolated itself from discussing and developing ideas, as they are sucked in by the addictive and shallow nature of social media.

Thanks for nothing, big tech.
