Reply to comment by Felice_rdt in [D] Will there be a replacement for Machine Learning Twitter? by MrAcurite

It's not a "site" though. There are many different Mastodon servers, and you can join the one you like. They do carry message from other servers, but you don't have to look at them, you can just stay on the local server.

Look at the sidebar on the right, and click on "local" instead of "federated" or "explore". It's 90% about ML and AI.

Yeah yeah. I know. Wrong choice of words. Call it a network if you like, or a federation. Whatever. I'm pretty sure you knew what I meant.

My advice to you, take it or leave it: Don't be the "well, actually" guy. Nobody likes the "well, actually" guy.

Not just nitpicking about "site" vs "federation". Your whole statement wrongly characterizes what Sigmoid is.

If you go to the front page of Reddit, you'll also see a bunch of stuff about Musk and Twitter, plus Amber Heard, other pointless gossip, clickbait, and videos of people falling down. That tells you literally nothing about the ML community here.

The reason the person to whom you're responding saw the comments about Musk on Sigmoid is because they were looking at the wrong page (maybe Sigmoid should make "Local" the landing page), not because it's a group of angry Twitter expats.
