Yes. I still have the muscle memory of typing 'H' then enter on my phone browser whenever I'm bored, but lately I've been catching myself before hitting enter. I need to find another site that starts with H to take priority in my autocomplete.
I also stopped using this site long ago, and only rarely check back in, although that's due to all the obnoxious Redditisms rather than AI. There ain't no "expert tech discussions" happening here.
At this point I feel like a hermit, since there's no social media I regularly use. It's honestly pretty great, and I feel like I'm better at focusing on my work and enjoying real life in general.
I can't exactly put a finger on the redditisms, but do know what you mean about a topic snowballing into something else other than the original post. I don't mind it so much when I can peer behind the veil of a FAANG company and get an employee perspective.
I have been seeing some Maker/circuitry posts making it to the frontpage there, and there you do get some great tech discussions. But the software discussions have just fallen off the map.
It's a shame. I don't really know where to go now for tech discussion. Lemmy scratches that itch partially, but it's rare. My IRL friends don't fully understand my hobbies. I do miss social media for connecting me with people who shared my enthusiasm over certain topics
