Yep.

LinkedIn is pretty much the only social network out there where the average person has a shot at a little reach for their posts.

Even if it’s just past and present colleagues and various acquaintances, I actually have an audience of people who are sometimes interested in what I have to say. I can't say that for any other social network.

A professional answer, to the point, ignoring cheap flame attempt. I have no doubt you get more than enough work like that

Twitter has never been better but okay bro

Indeed Twitter has seen a resurgence among the (serious) AI crowd in particular. For example Bluesky (not to mention tge fediverse) can get aggressively negative towards authors posting what seem to be pro-AI posts.

Ignoring the political issues, my problem with Twitter is more prosaic: the character limit is too short for basically anything of substance. I really don't like the thread style it effectively forces.

(Oh, and the new name is unbelievably stupid. I ain't never calling it that.)

That's pretty much my one gripe with the general culture of the Fediverse, a lot of people have made opposition to AI in general part of their identities and it can be a little tedious to have discussions at times because of it.

Can you elaborate? My personal niche was very popular on twitter until Elon bought it and everyone left, now I don’t know anyone still using twitter who was in that niche.
