so true

Discord is like a very cool party, maybe a themed party, at someone's house. Many good conversations are possible but you need an invite to get in the door. It can be daunting when you first step in but once you're used to the disco lighting it gets easier.

Now Xitter's like closing time at the pub, much harder to find those good conversations, a lot of your friends have left already, plus if you're unlucky someone will barf on you.

Twitter used to be like a big science conference, or like Speakers Corner in the Domain: a place where you could listen to interesting conversations, maybe contribute too; place for long conversations with those of similar interests.

Facebook used to be like after-church cuppa or school pickups: informal casual chat with your community. Now it's like being a tourist in Times Square: blaring advertisements and surrounded by strangers.

Instagram is like the cinema ads before the main movie : succession of bright interesting faces and places. You might have favourites but they don't know you, it's not a community really. No meaningful interaction, but still enjoyable if you pick the right film.

Sammies, yeah, nah. It's "sangas"

the creepy circus

I'm guessing prof & team didn't grow up in the Australian outback. Scary AF, emus

yeah, I don't know why the customisable filth option flashed me back to student days at Qld Uni
