> The culture on X today is remarkably friendly and inclusive. It is a cheerful place. That cheerfulness is another differentiator. bluesky has a lot of problems but twitter is the only place i really see people running around calling people trannies in public. must be nice tho to be welcomed by X

also “(a) believe all use of AI is unethical, and (b) will shove their viewpoints into your replies” this is a skill issue. i haven’t had problems with this in roughly 4-6 months at this point since using anti-ai labeler and blocking a bunch of people

i also use x basically every day lol. he’s right it’s the only real place to keep up with a lot of AI stuff and i spend about an hour on it every day as a result. but i damn sure don’t know where “it’s a super friendly place” comes from and shows an obvious ignorance

i mean, one thing that his post _is_ kind of correct about is there are way too many people here who are insufferable when you're on a fresh account. there are various labelers and stuff that help a lot but they also have a lot of false positives...

accumulating a ton of blocks and blocking on your own helps a ton too, but its hard to convince people when they have to go through that first to have a good time. its a really hard problem...

Sure, but teaching people how to find their community might be easier if there was already a community that was following bridged versions of their posts (which is what I mean by scrape)

ah yea, def. i dont really know a bunch about how that works. the only account i know of that does this is @thdxr.com unfortunately. ever since their API changes my understanding is its fairly difficult to do this

I follow a few reflected accounts and the GitHub for how it’s done doesn’t seem *too* complicated (though yeah, the shifting sands APIs don’t help) but I don’t have the infrastructure to do it myself
