There most certainly should. But Americans live in a corporatocracy.

Even using a reputable hosting provider and personal domain will get you spam black holed these days

I feel that most conversations I have here are someone genuinely trying to make a point and have a discussion whereas on Reddit it's mostly people just trying to take a shit on any comment that's made.

I've noticed this too. There seems to be someone to violently disagree on even the most benign points and chase the thread indefinitely. I'm sure they are pretty much all bots.

Yeah. I also think it's quite a bad platform for sharing ideas and discussing them, when compared to the reddit/lemmy model. As you mention, there's no real threading of usefulness, and the posts have to be too short to really share a complex idea. And even if you do share ideas, it is unlikely to reach people who are interested in these ideas, unless you stick to a single topic for your posts. And that means you also can't find ideas that interest you as easily. Generally you get a hodgepodge of stuff, some of which is interesting, but much of which isn't.

These platforms have always seemed to be a vanity thing of who can garner the most likes and make viral quips but that actually most people are constantly posting and doing very little interacting with the content of others. It's a social network for narcissists rather than those interested in ideas IMO.

Yeah I just can't really get into any of the twitter like platforms.
