Idk. There are some good communities on discord

I don't know about Twitter but Reddit is awful for good discussions because of their good boy points system. The entire website is designed for hivemind thinking.

I don't know. As a 4channer I never visit those websites.

Dont know the guy but who wants to bet that 6/12 languages are some form of romance languages which are practically the same

/r/philosophy and /r/askphilosophy is riddled with people who've only read Marx and the prerequisites for Marx. They show up on every mildly relevant thread to break balls about the Capital

They’re both terrible, but while twitter is more toxic, it’s easier to find likeminded people there

>Are twitter and reddit any good?
you'll be subconsciously brainwashed into being a self-regulating moralist through repeated exposure to their social norms.

Whatever flaws this place has twitter is assuredly worse. Reddit has major issues but there can be interesting discussion on smaller subreddits.

The problem with twitter and reddit is that a) there is no diversity of thought. I have read some great posts here about plotinus and aquinas and so on- nobody on reddit will bother reading them. Thier philosophy discussion is like an anglo an anglo undergrad wank chamber. b) they get most of their information from youtube videos which they regurgitate. You will rarely find unique insights. Better or worse and shitposting aside, you can have original and fruitful discussions here at times. Although the worst aspects of this place are bad, they are mostly down to reddit migrants. If you go to reddit or twitter it will be all the same vapid shit you see midwits post here

Dude, I'm pretty sure there will be some people on "R/philosophy" or whatever who can talk with you about aquinas. Not many people read him here either.

Open it up and look at the discussions on there bro. I am sure people there have talked about or read him, but the content of all their thought is cramped and dry.

>>16950827
Even if you found good communities or sub reddits, the inherently fucked nature of social media would make the experience and value all the worse. If you don't like 4chan you're better off trolling the internet for some obscure ass forum. Something without an algorithm or ill defined rules.

Wherever you have a public forum with no barrier for entry, you'll have a small percentage of valuable content. Here you have to fish it out of a frogposting infested catalog, on reddit you'll probably have to scroll through hundreds of upboated platitudes. At least here it's egalitarian, you don't see midwits reward each other with more visibility, so /lit/ has that going for it.

There are some decent discord philosophy servers but like 4chan it's a drag when the entire population is either novices asking endless questions over and over again, pseuds who act out as idiots, and some effortful smart people who nevertheless tend to limit themselves to existing academic opinions and aren't more adventurous than that. Just make philosopher friends instead.
