@Ivan Reese I don't think Facebook/Twitter/Mastodon are Forums because the experience of different people on them can vary wildly. Do you perhaps have a specific Twitter list or three that would help narrow down what community you mean?

A lot of folks in this slack follow each other on Twitter, and have the same sort of discussions there that we have here. It almost feels like Twitter is the courtyard of FoC, and the Slack is the main hall (and the DMs are the lounge)

I'm not on Facebook (though there might be some Facebook groups that are good for our community), nor Mastodon (though I suspect it's similar to twitter, and should probably be included in the poll).

I don't think that wildly varying personal experience is a useful criterion, otherwise (eg) HN would probably be worth excluding — I have more interaction with FoC members and FoC-minded folks (who aren't members of our Slack) on Twitter in a month than I've had on HN in a decade.

The boundary is indeed fuzzy. I tried to separate HN into three categories for that reason. But I'd stand by my claim that the experience is the same for everyone. Everyone who goes to HN sees the same frontpage at any given moment, no matter who they are and whether they're logged in or not. Unlike in Reddit where you have lots of leeway to tune your experience. This is why I tried to narrow down to specific sub-reddits.
My Ribbonfarm bullet actually refers to a Facebook group.
I wouldn't dream of denying your experience of Twitter. Just trying to understand which Twitter you mean. Maybe I should go create a list of people you follow 🙂

Done: https://twitter.com/akkartik/lists/ivan-reese-s-follow-list. Maybe this will finally get me reliably on Twitter.

There you go. That's a forum.

I recommend going through the members and following people you recognize from the community, or who look interesting: https://twitter.com/stevekrouse/lists/future-of-coding/members
I also recommend following this person who is probably not on that list: https://twitter.com/stevekrouse
And this person, who is: https://twitter.com/spiralganglion

As for HN, I use hckrnews.com (top 20), so no, not everyone sees the same front page.

It's a lot more informational than "Twitter".
But I got what I wanted out of this debate, so you can have it 😄
