I kinda get the „this person seems nice/knowledgeable“ but still have issues with the shallowness of conversations, self proclaimed „experts“ and ungodly long and boring posts some of the instances allow for.

For some reason, lemmy allows for even longer posts but here they arent that long and if they are, they’re often structured/formatted, concise and informative instead of just a stream of conciousness.

I feel like twitter-likes need fast, relevant, whitty answers while redditlikes need thought out, deep answers like a forum.

Anyone else feel like this?

I feel like twitter-likes need fast, relevant, whitty answers while redditlikes need thought out, deep answers like a forum.

There are plenty of short witty responses on Reddit-like platforms too, but I think the context influences what people upvote/like. On Twitter, you only see the tweet and the response, but on reddit-like platforms you see the original topic and responses, before scrolling down to see a specific response.

I never said there are no short, witty responses. I‘m saying the majority/most upvoted total imo are the long, great explanations.

I agree that the design influences this.
