About a month ago, I observed that two main things I found lacking here vs. Twitter were accounts from professional creatives (artists, etc) and discussion of breaking news.

The creatives have definitely started to arrive. But the breaking news has been much slower. However, it also seems like breaking news is starting to disappear from Twitter.

I wonder what will fill that gap. Perhaps it will be here, eventually.

Up until very recently, if there was something important going on anywhere in the world, it was virtually certain to be in my Twitter feed. Not just RTs of media reports, but discussion, etc. That just doesn't seem to be true any more over there. And it's not here yet.

@mattblaze What stopped that discussion from happening on Twitter? Did too many people leave, or was it an algorithm change?

@timmclean Algo change, very few people actually left

@vivainio I think that's true overall, but it feels like a large portion of the frequent posters in tech/programming circles really did leave!
