I used to use Twitter a lot from 2010-2015 to keep abreast of SF/F discussions/books Larry Send a noteboard - 05/03/2017 10:19:57 PM

And my favorite thing about it is so geeky. In general, I use it as one big news feed, but I also have a few odd gems here and there. I stumbled across a Merriam Webster tweet, and now I Can't Stop clicking them.

How have your internet preferences changed since the days we spent all our time on Wotmania/Rafo? (I don't want to know if it's naughty!)


Then I soured on it because the tenor of discussions became much less about discovering things to read and much more about personal agendas that I just grew weary (even when I basically agreed with certain political views) of the infighting that I saw. So many similar opinions stated ad nauseam that I just grew so bored with it that I think I may have gone months between any comments.

A pity, as all that also helped me grow weary first of SF/F and then of discussing much of anything online. Still very sporadic in what I'll read/respond to anywhere these days.
