116 sats \ 9 replies \ @shyfire 6 Jul 2022 \ on: I feel like this site has a better Signal to Noise ratio than Bitcoin Twitter bitcoin
It also has much higher information density than r/bitcoin, I never go there anymore. So much noise and ads and crap.
We need more memes here though...

The hell we do! Go start coinmemes.news if that's what you're here for.

I miss bitcoin before the memes. Can we have 1 platform without memes and toxicity like the 2013 era?

I hate that sub along with reddit in general. A huge waste of time.

I can't stand reddit, it's a shell of its former self. Aaron Swartz' unfortunate passing really sowed its demise.

oh yeah. This is way better when you need sats to reply/comment

This. It filters out a lot of low-effort spam and doomposting.
I have a different opinion. I check Bitcoin Reddit more than twitter because its where you will find a good inflow of very new users. Bitcoin Twitter is where most of the conversation happens, but Bitcoin Reddit is where you can get a strong feel for new user sentiment.
Stacker news is going to have the least noise for now, because it is an entire platform dedicated to one thing. But it is an echo chamber, or a "safe space".
I also check other subreddits like technology to see what the sentiment is and if I can detect any measurable change.
Checking for sentiment and noting if it has changed or not, or is slowly shifting, helps you determine where the wider conversation among no coiners is leading, and that is important. How can you convert people to Bitcoin without understanding why they dislike it to begin with?
Everyone in Bitcoin would do well to avoid a diet of echo chambers, it only builds a community that is no different from any other echo chamber you may disagree with.

So have you seen any sentiment shift?
