I mean, if you don't like seeing "predictions" (I don't like them as well for very obvious reasons), you simply don't follow people who post them; and the block option also exists! Twitter can be a great platform if you simply curate your following properly.
I don't use Twitter, never have.
I never understood Twitter hate, while its so easy to avoid all that crap if you are picky with your followings.
Twitter is NOT easy to avoid. It's everywhere you look, from people on TV showing or mentioning Twitter posts, Youtubers making videos in which they talk endlessly about tweets, to even odd things like winding up with a Twitter cookie in your brower even though you've never visited their site.
How good your twitter feed is depends only on you, so if you follow idiots, that's who you are going to see. Its like saying that bitcointalk is crap while constraining yourself to altcoin section.
Again, I don't use Twitter. Never have.
These are interesting comparisons, but they're comparing
bitcoin communities specifically. What'd be even more interesting is a discussion about the differences between communities of different coins, because they vary wildly. I remember the Reddit DOGE people as being extremely friendly and generous back in 2016 or so, and I've joined or visited several altcoin discussion forums in the past. The vibe I got from each of them was never the same.
The last one I was a part of was Firo's, and the forum was the bitcoin equivalent of Satoshi Nakamoto making a reply to everyone's post (I'm talking about that Reuben guy). Very, very strange. Anyway, that would be a fun chat to have.
